Charming countryside farmhouse B&B with homemade breakfast and Cheviot Hills views
Rooms with scenic views and thoughtful extras
Each en-suite room at Hay Farm House offers walk-in showers and views over the Cheviot Hills or the garden. King rooms include a sofa and a small fridge with fresh milk and bottled water replaced daily. The decor reflects the farmhouse's 1800s origins, with soundproofed windows ensuring quiet nights.
Personalized breakfast with local produce

Ingredients are sourced locally, including eggs laid that morning from the property's own hens. Breakfast is served in a dining room overlooking the garden, with generous portions that keep guests full until evening.
