Set in an ancient wooded valley spanning six acres, our Bedford TK has been lovingly restored from a horsebox into a luxury glamper van for your off-grid getaway in Mitford, Northumberland. Described as a cottage on wheels, stunning panoramic views of ancient woodland surround the quiet little spot it sits in.

Our first glamper to be renovated, the 1964 Bedford TK is an off-grid luxury home on wheels. The Horsebox is situated in a quiet meadow with:

– Solar electricity & USB charging ports– Hot shower– Complimentary Faith in Nature shampoo, conditioner and body wash– Towels & bedding– Gas boiler and hob– Wood burning stove with oven– Outdoor fire pit & cast iron cooking set– Outdoor breakfast bar & canopy– Outdoor decking area

The sleeping area above the cab features a double bed with a memory foam mattress complete with luxury feather bedding and a beautiful porthole window to gaze out of at night. There is additional sleeping space on the sofa day-bed, which can be used as a bed for another guest, ideally a child but it could also accommodate an adult. Another child could sleep on a pull-out mattress if needed for a family of four. Children however are welcome to camp outside of the wagon if they want to.

The outdoor area has a cute decking space with seating, canopy & breakfast bar to the side of wagon with stools, tables and a fire-pit for cooking or relaxing by.

The site is located just 0.9 miles from the ancient market town of Morpeth and the train station, but is far enough away to feel secluded.

Farm House B & B Family Room

The Old Byre self-catering holiday cottage at Rye Hill Farm is part of a small, 300-year-old, family run sheep farm, with stunning views across the Tyne Valley. The Old Byre is attached to the farmhouse and has its own entrance. It was originally the milking byres but is now a beautiful stone-built holiday cottage sleeping up to 7 plus a baby in cot. The farm is just outside the village of Slaley and 5 miles south of Hexham, deep in the heart of the beautiful Northumberland countryside and is within the North Pennines AONB and is close to the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park. Our holiday cottage is ideally placed for visiting Hexham, Corbridge and Slaley Hall, Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for walking or cycling across Blanchland Moor or beside Devil's Water river and in Kielder Forest or across the North Pennines.


Kitchen
The holiday cottage kitchen is very well equipped with cooking utensils, a dual fuel cooker, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. Enjoy family dining on our long sycamore farmhouse table which was made for us 40 years ago out of the bread counters at the Hexham Bakery. Next door is a laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities.  If you prefer to eat out, then lunches and evening meals can be had from The Travellers Rest pub on the B6306 or the Rose and Crown pub in nearby Slaley. And of course, there is a wide choice of restaurants and takeaways in Hexham and Corbridge.

Lounge
The cottage with its underfloor heating, is wonderfully cosy no matter what the weather. Heating and electricity are included in the tariff. There are two comfy 3 seater sofas and two high armchairs  for relaxing in and free Wi-Fi, books, board games and a flat screen tv. The sitting room leads out onto a fenced patio, safe for little ones and dogs, and great for sitting out in the sunshine and watching the goings on in the farmyard.

Children
Children are very welcome at the Old Byre holiday cottage. We have a high chair and travel cot available for our tiny guests. They are welcome to explore the farm with adult supervision and use our outside play facilities, which include The Mud Pie Kitchen and the Games Barn which has a skittle alley, table tennis and a pool table

Pets
The Old Byre holiday cottage is dog friendly and pets are welcomed, and we don’t charge extra. We only ask two things of you. The first is that your dog is kept on its lead while out and about on the farm. Rye Hill Farm is a working sheep farm (plus our neighbours also have sheep) and we have free range chickens that can pop up anywhere. The second ask is that dog poop is bagged and placed in the bins provided. This keeps grass and tracks pleasant for everyone staying on the farm.
