Blinkers Stables sits on a working farm in the rolling hills of Northumberland, just 5 miles north of Allendale. This beautifully renovated 4-bedroom stable conversion combines luxury with rural life. The original beams and cute red windows remind you this was once home to horses, not holidaymakers with wine glasses.

The surrounding countryside offers spectacular views across Northumberland's hills. Walking and cycling routes start right from your door - perfect for burning off last night's pub dinner. Hadrian's Wall is just a short drive away, with the Roman forts of Vindolanda and Housesteads nearby.

Blinkers Stables Reviews

Emma
We stayed at this place with friends and loved the cleanliness and comfy beds. The en-suite bathrooms in every room were a real bonus! It’s a shame there was no welcome pack, considering it's advertised as a luxury spot. Upstairs heating was missingand no towel rail made drying towels tricky. The pub nearby is okay, but you walk on the road since there's no path-bit risky! Still, a lovely place to relax and enjoy the hot tub. Would come again!
