"The warm welcome, the Hall’s history, remote and picturesque location, and character along with the pool and sauna facilities are first-class attributes that are the foundation for my whole-hearted recommendation to visit Oughtershaw Hall."

Meet Beth, our new Guest Relations & Property Management Assistant!

With a wealth of experience in the hospitality sector, Beth is a truly valuable addition to our team and will be on-hand to make your staycation as magical as possible in our Craster properties.

Beth's knowledge and passion for creating luxury, unique experiences is entwined in both her role at Catch the Breeze and her free time. Beth's weekends are filled with herself and her husband taking their 10-month old baby and two cocker spaniels to the places they grew up loving in Northumberland, including beaches, woodlands, and of course, their favourite pubs. In fact, they love Northumberland so much, they even take a holiday home in the area where they will be ‘just tourists’ for a little while 💫

We love hearing your favourite parts of each of our properties. Here’s a recent review on our harbour-side cottage, Middlerigg, Northumberland:

"Stunning property in a stunning location; what more is there to say? Beautifully laid out and extremely well equipped cottage all to an exceptional standard. Great to sit out on the front just watching the view and the world go by. Been to Northumberland many times, this was by far the best!"

If you're a local to Northumberland or have stayed at one of our cottages, you will know the outstanding beauty of our night skies, and how it's important to protect them from increasing light pollution.

Here is some advice to help reduce artificial light at night to protect the tranquillity of the Northumberland night skies ✨

💫 Make sure outside lights are shielded or angled downwards so that no light shines up into the night sky

💫 Choose LED lights that emit a warm-white light, as these aren't disruptive to nocturnal wildlife

💫 Avoid over-lighting and glare by choosing a low wattage LED light

If your summer is all booked up but you’re thinking ahead to spring, we have an old favourite returning to our books!

The Reading Rooms closed in December 2023 to undergo extensive renovations. Next spring, the cottage will have transformed into a 2-storey, 2 bedroom property with en-suites and an open plan kitchen, living and dining.

As its name suggests, the sweet stone cottage was an important part of Oughtershaw’s cultural life and now makes a tranquil riverside retreat from which to explore the wider national park.

Just steps away from Beadnell Beach is our latest exciting development, Tughall Mill, a former watermill with a fascinating history.

We’ve been busy converting the original mill into The Old Watermill, a 5-bedroom property, and the newly built Mill Farm House, a 4-bedroom property. Boasting stunning views of the dunes and surrounding fields in an enviable location, these are set to be very special properties with the wow factor throughout!

Oughtershaw Hall, the luxury escape of your dreams. Thank you to our guest who left this lovely review, we love to hear about your magical experiences:

"Oughtershaw Hall has everything you could possibly need. Ben and Tara cater to all your needs and go above and beyond to make sure you have everything. Once you get to Oughtershaw, you don't really need to go anywhere else! The property is top quality and has enough space that everyone is more than comfortable. There are plenty of places to explore, relax, cook and even swimming and a sauna. It caters for everyone and I wouldn't hesitate to return."
