The location was very rural but was perfect for a get-away stay after a busy time in London. A good base for local walks and exploring the local area including Hexham and Durham. Access to a car was needed.

Location was excellent for all the major sites on Hadrian's wall. The property was much more spacious than expected. The Red Lion pub served excellent food.

Some have complained about the need to use bottled water but this was supplied and we didn't find it an issue

Super first floor unit with amazing views over the Northumberland countryside, Spacious, quiet, comfortable and very well equipped. We loved our stay and would return if we’re in the area.

Het plaatje met de 2 banken was niet onze lokatie. Wij hadden de benedenverdieping.
Die ziet er anders uit.
Verder was alles schoon, de keukenmessen goed ingericht, een goede bed in een ruime slaapkamer en een ruime badkamer.
De ligging op een heuveltop was fantastisch rustig. In het dorp onderaan de berg een kleine Co-op supermarkt.

Er was voldoende drinkwater in flessen aanwezig. Uit eerdere reviews had ik begrepen dat het water niet van drinkkwaliteit was.
Deze meldingen waren uit 2024, dus ik heb meerdere keren aan Host&Stay gevraagd of dit probleem opgelost was, maar kreeg steeds geen antwoord op mijn vraag, ook niet in de periode dat ik nog kon annuleren. Ik werd meerdere keren benaderd door Host&Stay over een afkoopregeling van 500 pond bij geval van schade, het aanbod van korting op een Gin-pakket of een korting voor een privé kok. Maar geen antwoord op mijn vraag over de waterkwaliteit. Die kreeg ik pas nadat ik in het appartement had ingecheckt en zag dat de waterproblemen van 2024 waren: wij waren er in augustus 2025!
Wij hebben gewoon gedoucht en hebben geen last van het water uit de kraan gehad.
In het huisje hangen waarschuwingen van de eigenaren over de drinkwaterproblemen van 2024. Ik zou die gewoon netjes vervangen met de datum 2025.

Het appartement was prima (inderdaad: je hoort de bovenburen!). De organisatie achter de verhuur

The Granary was lovely accommodation for our family of five, staying for three nights over the Summer holidays. We chose it as it is perfectly located, in close proximity, to visit and explore the mid region of Hadrian’s Wall. The surrounding countryside is picturesque and full of life, especially the farm. The cottage itself is very well equipped, warm and cosy.

It was easy to get the keys, reasonable close to everything i wanted to see. Ground floor appt has a wet room. Owner was friendly.

The mains water is not safe for drinking, food prep or cleaning your teeth. The owners have signs dated from 2024 warning about it, they apparently keep meaning to get round to the work needed to pass the council safe test. They do provide bottled water though. Despite booking weeks in advance they weren't expecting me and hadn't cleaned the property before arrival and didn't clean whilst I was there despite me offering them to. In countryside so had spiders and beetles would crawl in under the door. You can hear people upstairs very loud when moving around.

The place was spotlessly clean. The bed was the most comfortable I've stayed in. Loved the location and the new born lambs right outside the door

Would have liked a bigger window to see the amazing views but probably not possible!!

The apartment is lovely and the setting idyllic. The people at the farm were great, with the daughter even coming to tell us about the Northern lights that were appearing on our second night. There is still (viz earlier reviews) the question of the water not being drinkable, but ample bottled water was provided. It may be worth checking the showers, which sometimes just trickled; the problem seems intermittent and is likely easy to fix. Generally though a lovely stay in a stunning setting.

The Granary at Carr Edge was a lovely place; I hope we can visit again. It's in a beautiful spot with gorgeous views on both sides. It looks remote on the map, but access to Hexham, Hadrian's Wall and various forts and museums was easy. It's picturesque, a stone-built farm house and outbuildings, so like my grandparents' that I visited as a child. Everything was perfect down to the signage. There's an interesting historic remnant of a Gin-Gang (look it up!). Our hostess, Sandy, was charming and ready to answer our curious questions. She had thought of everything, including delicious flapjacks for us. There was a water issue, referred to in earlier reviews, but there was plenty of bottled water for us and we found it no inconvenience. This was our favorite stay in Northumberland and I hope we can return.

The bed was very comfortable and in a very big bedroom. The bathroom is also large and great size shower. The whole place was very clean and a small welcome gift was awaiting our arrival. The Boatside Inn, very popular but amazing service and food

We couldn't use the water, although bottled water was left and plenty of it, there were no instructions regarding if it was safe to shower, or use washing machine or dishwasher. There was no communication to warn us of this or the option to cancel. It would be useful for the owners to provide more details on how remote the property is and that you will need to bring supplies with you as no local shops nearby. My husband and I are disabled and although it was managable for us it might not suit others. It is my mistake but i wasn't aware of how remote the place actually was.

The place is very well managed, clean and tidy and well equipped.
The location is relatively secluded, thus it is surrounded by beautiful scenery with flocks of sheep and cow nearby; it is tranquil for a good retreat from cities.
Our host has been very hospitable to provide us with milk and flapjacks and the necessary supply of bottled water for drinking and food preparation.
We look forward to staying there again after the water supply issue is fully resolved.

Die sehr abgeschiedene und ruhige Lage haben uns sehr gefallen. Direkt um das Grundstück herum gab es Schafe und Kühe, über die sich unsere kleine Tochter sehr gefreut hat. Außerdem hatte man einen tollen Blick über schöne Landschaften. Man konnte direkt ab der Haustür schön wandern. Die Unterkunft war rustikal und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es gab einen großen Garten.

Es war extrem windig, was nicht nur dem klischeehaften Wetter geschuldet war, sondern auch der Hanglage mit vielen baumfreien, weiten Feldern.
Das Leitungswasser hatte keine Trinkwasserqualität, weil irgendwo bei der Wasserversorgung ein Filter gefehlt hat. Man sollte das Wasser weder zum Zähne putzen noch zum Kochen verwenden (interessanterweise aber zum Geschirrspülen), weil es nicht keimfrei war. Mit kleinem Kind, war dann dadurch auch das Baden nicht optimal. Man hatte zwar Wasser zum Kochen und Zähne putzen zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen, ein Stück weit nervig war es aber doch, zumal wir immer Leitungswasser trinken und viel Tee kochen. Man hätte zumindest beim Buchen einen Hinweis auf die Lage geben können.

Very spacious accommodation, large bedrooms and well equipped living room/kitchen. Both bedrooms had large en-suites with full size baths. Location is on a farm which is in a fairly remote location woth stunning views. Wi-Fi worked well.

Perfect for a rural weekend break - nothing to dislike

Beautiful location and a lovely place to stay.

A lot of noise from children running about upstairs on our last day. Did not like the extra money we had to pay for "Damage protection" - never had to do that before.
