Northumberland

The Comb is a stunning converted border farm nestled within the Northumberland Dark Sky Park, accommodating up to 20 guests across its 10 spacious en-suite bedrooms. Perfect for families or groups of friends, this late 1700s property is set on 60 acres of its own grounds, offering a unique blend of historical charm and modern comfort. The extensive facilities include a large country kitchen equipped with essential appliances, a cozy bar area, a lounge, a dining room that can seat over 30, a games room with a TV, and a barn dedicated to recreational activities. The renovation has preserved original features such as stonework and wooden beams, enhancing its rustic appeal.

Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, The Comb is located at the end of a road atop the scenic Tarset Valley, which traces the Tarset burn from its origins in the Scottish hills to the North Tyne below Greenhaugh. This area, characterized by its old stone farms, castles, and bastles, is part of the Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest, offering breathtaking views and a rich tapestry of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and red squirrels. The valley's seasonal colors create a picturesque backdrop, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers and adventurers alike.

The Tarset Valley, known for its historical significance as Border Reivers country, boasts a wealth of heritage with numerous Peel Towers and bastles. Guests can explore the area through various walking and cycling routes, or even partake in quad bike safaris, providing an opportunity to connect with the region's storied past. The community, although small, is vibrant and welcoming, with a mix of locals and newcomers frequenting the Hollybush Inn, a traditional pub known for its stunning views and cozy atmosphere, complete with an inviting open fire.

Guests at The Comb have access to all its amenities and the expansive grounds, although caution is advised during clay pigeon shooting days. The surrounding natural beauty invites outdoor activities such as fishing, mountain biking, and cycling, making it an ideal destination for those seeking adventure in a tranquil setting. With its combination of luxury, history, and stunning landscapes, The Comb offers a memorable getaway in the heart of Northumberland, where visitors can immerse themselves in both relaxation and exploration.
