Gold
LOCATED at Tughall Steads, near Newton-by-the-Sea in Northumberland, the Moo House and the Cow Shed is a recently renovated stone barn owned by Fiona McKeith of Coastal Retreats.
Sleeping 10, this five-star gold property really has the wow factor. Popular with large parties and family groups, it offers a personal service for guests including decorating the house for those holding celebrations and putting toys and books out for children.
It appeals to all: families, friends and corporate events and is just five minutes from the beach.
The website is packed with useful information and Fiona has a strong drive and passion for her business and the North East.
Fiona said: "We are thrilled all our efforts have been rewarded. We feel top-quality self-catering has an important part to play in the tourism industry in the region and we are glad to be leading the way.”
FIVE-STAR gold-rated The Hytte (pronounced ‘hutta’), situated at Bingfield near Hexham, is a Norwegian-inspired timber lodge with grass roof combining excellent accessibility for disabled guests with the ultimate in luxury including a sauna and hot-tub spa. On the edge of Northumberland National Park and not far from Hadrian’s Wall, there’s plenty to do out and about.
Owners Sonja and Simon have tackled the issue of accessibility head on and strive to make sure that everyone can enjoy a holiday with them.
OPENED just two years ago, the four-star gold-rated Scandinavian lodges at Blackthorn Gate, Nunthorpe near Middlesbrough, offer a high-quality development in a stunning rural setting.
Situated in the heart of the Cleveland Hillls, each lodge has spectacular views of nearby Roseberry Topping.
Each lodge has a sauna to help you relax after a tiring day, and there’s a games room in the courtyard in case you find yourself at a loose end.
Owners Rita and Mike provide a total countryside experience for their guests with opportunities to walk, fish and seek out the many birds and other wildlife that live on the farm.
Rita and Mike’s passion for sustainability and in-depth local knowledge guarantee guests a warm, friendly welcome.
