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 with many other footpaths, bridleways and trails are literally on the doorstep. They are the perfect base for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders (paddocks available).

News & Offers from Ilderton Dod Barns

Mothers Day and Easter Availability on Our Working Hill Farm

February 16th 2024

Last week at Ilderton Dod Barns we pregnancy scanned our 600 Scottish Blackface ewes, which signals that spring is just around the corner. We’re not expecting any lambs until mid-April, but within the next month, the ewes carrying twins will be brought off the hills and into the fields surrounding our barn (sleeps 6) and our cottage (sleeps 2). Wake up to the views to the east over the fields with the only sound being the cuckoos and sheep on the doorstep!

We’re open all year round but with the lighter nights on the way, your enjoyment of the property and unlimited outdoor space can be maximised. We’re an ideal base for exploring Northumberland National Park including the International Dark Sky Park. Footpaths and bridleways criss-cross our farm – ideal for walking, running, on- and off-road cycling and horse-riding (paddocks available). If that all sounds too active for you, the farm is obviously accessible by car and you don’t have to walk far to see the sheep, hares, grouse, curlews and archaeological sites. If you tick all this off the list, it’s only 5 miles to Ingram and the Breamish Valley with it’s fantastic little cafe and gift shop, or 15-20 miles to Alnwick and our lovely sandy beaches.

Escape to our Romantic Retreat

January 16th 2024

Our two barn conversions at Ilderton Dod Barns, within Northumberland National Park, are the ideal place to escape the rat race this winter and relax, surrounded by wildlife, dark skies and wild, open spaces. Then retreat to your own log burner, hot power-showers and comfortable beds. Although The Barn can accommodate the whole family, both properties are often rented out to couples and both properties have a king-sized bed.

If a romantic trip away involves your dog too, both properties allow dogs (up to 3 in The Barn and up to 2 in Cuckoo Cottage). For the more adventurous guest, we’re surrounded by The Cheviot Hills – ideal for fell running, walking, mountain biking and horse-riding, with thousands of acres of access land surrounding the property, and footpaths and bridleways criss-crossing the farm. If you prefer not to carry a map, we have two 1.5-2.5 mile marked routes around the farm where you will see our Scottish Blackface sheep, grouse, hares and many other species.

We’re within the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park and facilities are provided for you to experience the stars. We have outdoor seating and a fire brazier if the weather is kind, and a lockable bike shed (with electric bike charging, pressure washer, workstation and tools).

Both properties are available for most of the Spring, including Valentine’s week and February half term holidays.
