Groups Will Love...

The open beamed ceilings at The Cowshed showcase the barn's original agricultural structure. These exposed beams run throughout the single-storey conversion, creating an authentic barn character in the open plan living space. Combined with the woodburning stove and eclectic furnishings, the beamed ceilings give this detached barn its distinctive rural feel. The original structure has been carefully preserved during conversion while adding modern comforts like underfloor heating beneath.

Pet Friendly

The Cowshed does not accept pets. The barn sits next door to the owners' farmhouse where they keep their own dogs, cats and hens on the working farm. While the surrounding Northumberland farmland and countryside footpaths would suit dog walking, the proximity to farm animals means guests cannot bring pets. The owners live on site and maintain the farm next door to the barn conversion.
