The country kitchen enhances the rustic charm of the home, featuring an attractive range cooker that invites guests to prepare hearty meals together. A dining table and chairs are conveniently positioned for shared meals and joyous gatherings, fostering a sense of togetherness among visitors. When the weather permits, guests can step outside to enjoy the delightful gardens, where the lush forests of the national park offer a stunning backdrop for leisurely moments in nature, allowing for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Each bedroom, whether the double or twin, is designed to provide a calming retreat for guests to recharge after a day of exploration.

In addition to its tranquil setting, The Old School House is conveniently located near attractions such as the charming town of Otterburn, known for its historical Otterburn Mill, and Bellingham, which is worth a visit. The nearby stately homes of Wallington Hall and Cragside add to the region's allure, while Alnwick, with its stunning castle and gardens—famed as the filming location for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series—offers a variety of shops and amenities alongside miles of beautiful beaches. This unique property truly provides the best of both worlds: a serene rural escape and close proximity to the vibrant Northumberland coast.
