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
Celebrate New Year away from the crowds in the Northumberland National Park
November 4th 2024
Ilderton Dods Barn (sleeps 6) and Cottage (sleeps 2), offer toasty warm , super comfortable accommodation on a working hill farm. Escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life, relax, unwind and start the new year with your batteries recharged surrounded by 1,800 acres of farmland down a 1.5 mile track.
Don’t worry about bad weather, your hosts can ferry you down the track in their pickup. Dogs are welcome (please advise when booking) and if you are wanting to avoid fireworks, this is an ideal spot as the nearest village is at least 5 miles away so it’s very unlikely that dogs or humans will be disturbed.
Although the days are short at this time of year, it just means the sunrises can be seen from the eastward-facing front windows without setting an early alarm. Of course, the footpaths, bike tracks, bridleways and beaches are all open, as well as nearby Ingram Cafe – ideal for a half day walk from the accommodation.
Cosy up in Northumberland National Park this Winter
November 4th 2024
Dark nights and falling temperatures don’t stop the fun when visiting Ilderton Dod Barns; it just means you have more time to enjoy the log burning stove in each property, with background central heating and powerful hot showers! It’s also a better time of year to appreciate the true darkness of the International Dark Sky Park, and we provide binoculars, chairs, flasks and blankets for this purpose.
We are open for bookings all year. Our 1.5-mile track is accessible by almost all cars on all but the worst weather days (but we can always make it in a pickup!). Although the days are short, it just means the sunrises can be seen from the eastward-facing front windows without setting an early alarm. Of course, the footpaths, bike tracks, bridleways and beaches are all open, as well as nearby Ingram Cafe – ideal for a half day walk from the accommodation.
