Ilderton Dod Barn is a luxury bunkhouse  in the Northumberland National Park. On a working hill farm down a 1.5 mile private track, the former stables have been restored to provide quality, cosy accommodation. Ideally located close to The Pennine Way, The Sandstone Way & with many other footpaths & bridleways on the doorstep. The perfect base for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders (paddocks available).

The Barn on our working hill farm in North Northumberland is still available for most of October. It sleeps up to 8 people in 1 room (sole use only) plus 3 dogs.

Easily accessible and yet remote, The Barn is surrounded by wildlife, historic sites, walking and cycling routes plus our own sheep and cattle. We are in Northumberland International Dark Sky Park. For members of the family requiring more commercial entertainment, we’re only 6 miles from Wooler, and 10 miles from Alnwick. The coast is 15 miles away and there are castles galore!

Perhaps it’s due to the great weather that we’re having, or the lack of disturbance due to lockdown this spring but we seem to be seeing a huge number and variety of wildlife species on our doorstep.

Curlews, deer, partridges, pheasants, hares, owls, cuckoos and red squirrels have always been a common sight on our 1800 acre hill farm. But this year there have been sightings of kingfishers and otters on a nearby lake. You don’t have to look hard to see many of these species, but we provide binoculars in our properties for you to get a closer look.
