Self catering, Group accommodation near Wooler
Situated on an 1,800-acre working hill farm and down a 1.5-mile private farm track you can really escape from the pressures of modern life, (but there's a 4G mobile signal if you need it). The former stables and cow byre have been lovingly restored to provide quality, cosy accommodation in two units.
The Barn has a kitchen, open plan lounge/dining room (with log burner, TV and DVD player), 2 shower rooms and a large upstairs bedroom with a king-sized bed, then a further 4 beds behind hidden doors.
The separate self-contained Cuckoo Cottage has self-catering facilities, a log burner and an open-plan living/dining space with sofa bed and TV. Upstairs is a bedroom with a king-size bed, and space for a Z bed or cot.
Outside there's a barbecue and seating area (per property), plenty of parking and a lockable bike store with electric charging and washing facilities, tools, workstation and comprehensive cycle guides. Both properties have a washing machine and drying area.
llderton Dod Barns are ideally located 2 miles from The Pennine Way. The Sandstone Way & NCN 68 together. Many other footpaths, bridleways and trails are literally on the doorstep. The barns are the perfect base for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders (paddocks available). They are also in one of the darkest locations in Northumberland Dark Sky National Park, so ideal for star-gazing after a busy day. Dogs welcome (up to 3 in The Barn and up to 2 in Cuckoo Cottage). Sole use only.

News & Offers from Ilderton Dod Barns
August Bank Holdiay in Northumberland National Park
August 16th 2024
The Barn at Ilderton Dod Barns, which sleeps 1-6 people, is available for August Bank Holiday. This ties in well, if you have any interest in farming because we’ll be making hay, and Glendale Show is held in Wooler on the bank holiday Monday – this is regarded as the county show of the north, and one of the last of the season. There are beautiful, quiet Northumbrian beaches just 15 miles away.
If this doesn’t appeal, there’s plenty more on offer – 1800 acres of our own access land, with thousands more beyond – ideal for walking, running, mountain biking, road cycling, horse-riding, wildlife spotting, archaeology, plus the skies will be getting dark again by then. Further afield, the beautiful, quiet Northumbrian beaches are 15 miles away, along with several spectacular castles – Bamburgh, Alnwick, Chillingham, Dunstanburgh, Lindisfarne etc.
Bring Your Horse on Holiday!
May 24th 2024
At Ilderton Dod Barns, we have grazing available for several horses. Perhaps your stead would appreciate the views from the fields outside our cottages.
With 1800 acres of our own access land surrounding the holiday accommodation and thousands more beyond our boundaries there are several options for day rides with your horse and we have 5 pre-planned routes of varying lengths available. We can provide a 10 acre field for grazing, smaller ‘starvation’ paddocks, or space for you to create a pen for the duration of your stay. We also have plenty of parking for trailers and horseboxes. Access is easy up our 1.5 mile private drive and yet there is no need to go near a road to take in the local area. If you prefer, beach rides are only 15 miles away on quiet sandy beaches, and if you’d rather not bring your own horse, Kimmerston Riding Centre near Wooler organise beach rides on Holy Island.
If your horse needs a day off, there’s plenty of other options – walking, fell running, cycling, wildlife spotting, archaeological features and dark skies. Within 15 miles we have the towns of Alnwick and Wooler, plus a large list of stunning beaches and pretty villages. Ingram cafe is a pleasant 3 mile walk away and The Bosk is a quirky restaurant / bar / wedding venue, approximately 5 miles away.
