About Rochester House Barn

Rochester House Barn is a traditional stone cottage tucked away in the Cheviot foothills of Northumberland. This converted barn combines rustic farmhouse charm with modern comforts. Perfect for stargazers - you're sitting right in England's darkest skies territory. The Romans thought this spot was worth building a fort here and honestly, they weren't wrong.

You're surrounded by 400 square miles of jaw-dropping landscape. Fancy a hike? The Cheviots are on your doorstep. Want history? Hadrian's Wall is close by. Kielder Forest offers incredible outdoor adventures. After a day exploring, you can soak in the private hot tub while counting stars.

The accommodation features a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen with Welsh dresser and pine dining table. The bedroom boasts a four-poster bed with en-suite shower and direct access to the hot tub area. The lounge has a wood burner (logs included - no need to chop down the forest) and a sofa bed for an extra guest.

Visit Kielder Forest (30 miles, 45 minutes), explore the Cheviots (right on your doorstep), or discover Hadrian's Wall (25 miles, 40 minutes). Pop over to Scotland - the border's just a stone's throw away. Two good-value eateries are nearby for when cooking feels like too much effort.

Rochester House Barn is ideal for couples seeking a romantic break or small families. The hot tub, wood burner and stunning location make this the perfect countryside escape.

Sarah

Really enjoyed our stay, the owners made us feel super welcome throughout.

Emma Carter

We had a fantastic stay! Honestly, I thought it would be quite small based on the photos, but it's actually much bigger and really comfy. The place was spotless, warmand super cosy. The location is perfect-close to the A68 with loads of attractions like beaches, castles, waterfallsand forest walks within an hour's drive. The scenic drives are gorgeous and pretty quiet. It's a working farm with lovely horses, sheepand friendly dogs. The hot tub under the stars was a real highlightand the owners were really nice too. We'll definitely return!

Lucy

We really enjoyed our 5-night stay at the cottage. It's super cosy and feels just like home. The place is well kitted out with everything we needed. Luckily, the weather was on our side, so we explored Kielder and Otterburn easily. Being on a working farm was actually lovely-lots of horses, sheepand dogs around, which added to the charm. Honestly, it's exactly what you see in the pictures. We'd happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others. A great find!

James

Great spot, definitely coming again!
