Rochester House Barn Reviews

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!
Sam
Beautiful place, friendly hosts, really enjoyed our relaxing stay there!
Emma
We had a lovely stay! The hosts were genuinely friendly and made us feel really welcome. The accommodation was cosy enough for what we neededand having a fence between us and the farm animals was a relief since it was our first farm stay. The 4-poster bed was a lovely touchand we really enjoyed the private hot tub, using it most days. The location was pretty central for exploring Northumberland, but a car is a must. Definitely recommended to family!
Mark
We had a fantastic time staying at this beautifully finished barn conversion. The location is great, super dog-friendlyand the owners are genuinely warm and helpful. Weather was perfect too-highly recommend!
James
We had such a peaceful stay here, with stunning views and plenty of history nearby. The hosts were really friendly and always ready to help, but we still felt like we had our privacy. The cottage was well-equipped, especially the hot tub, which was perfect after a day of exploring. Definitely a spot we’d recommend for anyone visiting the National Park - it’s just the right mix of relaxing and convenient. We’d love to come back!
Rachel
Lovely stay, very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

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!

Emma
We recently stayed at the cottage for three nights and honestly, it was lovely. Super cosyand everything was working perfectly. The log burner was a lifesaver during the chilly weather. Great spot for hiking in Kielderand easy drives to Otterburn and Jedburgh. We’d definitely recommend it to others!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay, especially the hot tub which was such a treat. The farm setting was lovelyand chatting with Willie made it even better. The free logs for the big log burner were a nice touch. A few minor issues popped up, but they didn’t spoil our holiday at all. Bobby and Maggie, the farm dogs, stopping by daily really made our trip special. We’d definitely come back!
Emma
