Overview
Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Northumberland, The Horseshoe Hideaway stands as a testament to both history and luxury. Once the storied repository for the estate's coaches and horses, this grand property has undergone a remarkable transformation into a lavish country retreat. The magnificence of The Horseshoe Hideaway is best experienced through its five opulent en-suite bedrooms, accommodating up to ten guests in sheer comfort.
Formerly the bustling heart of the estate's culinary endeavours, the expansive building now serves as a tranquil haven, rich in heritage. The original stone-flagged floors that grace the kitchen and dining area create a connection to its storied past. Overlooking the Victorian walled gardens, this haven provides privileged access to manicured lawns and the meandering stream that graces the estate. Nature enthusiasts can relish uninterrupted walks and bike rides through the surrounding countryside, a true escape on the doorstep.
Stepping inside, the warmth of the hearth beckons in the small lounge area, where an open log fire crackles. The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, seamlessly merging contemporary design with the building's historic features. Ideal for convivial gatherings, this space promises culinary delights and shared moments. On sunny days, the courtyard invites al fresco breakfasts and leisurely lunches, elegantly extending from the kitchen.
A dedicated children's room, equipped with entertainment and play essentials, ensures that young ones have their own sanctuary to explore and expend their energy. In contrast, the main lounge exudes a timeless countryside charm, marked by traditional decor and a rustic fireplace.
Each of the five bedrooms is a sanctuary of indulgence, complete with private bathrooms for convenience. The master bedroom stands out, boasting an original cast iron bath, a haven for relaxation after days of exploration. There are two bedrooms offering versatility and comfort, with the option to be configured as super kings or two single beds, as well as two more offering spacious king-size havens, with captivating views of both the front courtyard and rear gardens.
With its blend of history and modernity, The Horseshoe Hideaway in Northumberland offers an unforgettable stay, where each moment is a journey through time and tranquillity.

Perfect for us!
Horseshoe Hideaway was perfect for our group of nine, requiring five separate bedrooms. The location was ideal for exploring the stunning beauty of the Northumbrian coastline and for venturing further inland too. The spacious kitchen and dining area made eating together in the evening and playing games a pleasure. Facilities were excellent and equipment was generally very good. We would highly recommend it to other similar groups.
