About The Old Stable

The Old Stable is a one-bedroom cottage in Eglingham, a quiet village in Northumberland, roughly 15 minutes from Alnwick. Built in 1706 for the Archdeacon of Lindisfarne, it retains several original features while offering a beautifully presented interior. This is a proper romantic retreat for two, full of character.

Eglingham sits within easy reach of the Northumberland coast, Cheviot Hills foothills and some of England's best stargazing under the award-winning Dark Skies. A dog-friendly pub is within walking distance. Alnwick is 15 minutes away with shops, restaurants and more.

The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area features a traditional wood burner, Smart TV and tasteful furnishings. The kitchen has an electric hob, two small ovens, a microwave and a slimline dishwasher. Upstairs, a king-size bed and good storage. The utility area has underfloor heating ideal for drying off after walks.

Alnwick Castle (15 mins), The Alnwick Garden (15 mins), Bamburgh Castle (30 mins) and the Farne Islands boat trips from Seahouses (25 mins) are all close by.

The Old Stable is perfect for couples wanting a quiet, characterful base in rural Northumberland. One dog welcome.
