⭐️BIG ANNOUNCEMENT⭐️

Over the past 12 months, we have purchased two gorgeous Northumberland cottages. It has been a project of passion and we love helping our guests to make many happy memories ❤️

The aim is to continue expanding our business and we plan to now create one central hub across our social media channels for all news, events and promotions.

Our registered company name is Staycation Escapes and over the coming days (we hope), our plan is to merge our Middles Cottage and Old Stables Cottage pages together.

Thank you so much to all our loyal followers and we hope you like our new branding 👀

Since taking over the cottage at the end of March, we have received several 5* reviews ⭐️

Every single review puts gigantic smiles on our faces 😊

A big thank you to all our happy guests for taking the time to do them!

With the cottage being just a stone's throw from Cragside House & Gardens, our guests this month are able to enjoy the impressive show of rhododendrons.

Rhododendrons are grown for their spectacular flowers and currently, with just a short window, Cragside is in full bloom and framing the house in a sea of colour 🌷

On your visit, guests can also take a stroll through the winding path in the Pinetum. This collection of non-native coniferous trees, planted especially for their scale and size, is home to some of the tallest of their kind in the UK.

A perfect summer day out for families, friends and couples ❤️

Disclaimer - Yes Sarah is wearing white jeans to do the gardening 🤣

We've finally managed to get into the cottage in between guest check ins 🙂

Many jobs ticked off today and we loved adding more of our own touches to the Stables.

We even caught up with our lovely neighbours and found out that the cottage was built in 1826 😮

The list of attractions available for our guests in Northumberland is endless.

One attraction we think is different yet a 'must see' is the Hay Farm Heavy Horse Centre 🐴

Hay Farm is the UK’s only dedicated heavy horse centre approved by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and foals are born in the spring most years.

You can meet gentle giants like Scottish Clydesdales, English Shires and a French Percheron and examine a large collection of horse-drawn machinery, artefacts and memorabilia.

A fantastic day out for couples, friends and families and just a short drive away 😊

Here at Old Stables, we are pet friendly and whilst that often means we have many dogs coming to stay, we have also welcomed a few other types of pets...

One of our favourite guest book entries was from a family of 4 that left a bright red feather on the page. It then read "Thank you so much for allowing us to bring our parrot on holiday with us!".

Whether it's 🐶 or 🦜, we look forward to welcoming you all and helping you have the perfect country escape ☺️

We love hearing some of the things our guests get up to and especially when it includes walks with pubs!

One of the popular ones we hear about is the Simonside Family Walk.

A circular walk that takes you through historical sites such as the Bronze Age Burial Cairn, Little Church Cave, Little Church Rock and the Simonside Hills.

It's roughly a 6km walk and of course...ends with several lovely choices of pubs in our beloved Rothbury village centre 😊

Whilst the cottage is in Rothbury, it is often used as a base to then explore the wonders of Northumberland.

One of our most recent guests left us a lovely review and listed some of the places he visited with his sisters 😊

Lilidorei & Alnwick Gardens
Cragside
Bamburgh Castle
Craster
Wallington Gardens

And this was only half the list!

11/04/2024

Since purchasing the cottage, we've been fortunate to have nearly every day booked out by many lovely guests.

We did manage one quick visit on the day we received the keys and in between a check out/check in 😊

A few minor touches but if you know us, it's the finer details that we take great pride in ✨️

23/03/2024

A big hello to all of our new followers and thank you for taking the time to like our new page 😊

We thought we'd quickly introduce ourselves!

This week, we were lucky enough to complete on the sale of Old Stables Cottage in Rothbury. The keys were handed over by Emma and Chris who have clearly done a fantastic job over the years. The regular 5* reviews are proof of that!

This is our second holiday let and there's a simple reason for why do it. We LOVE it ❤️

Providing guests with wonderful memories and helping them explore the beauty of Northumberland is something we will never get tired of.

We look forward to hosting all those that have already booked and those that are interested, please see our booking link below ⬇️
