Located along the border of Scotland and England, Northumberland is an English county that charms visitors with its history and natural beauty. Visitors can check out Alnwick Castle and Lindisfarne Castle, or explore Roman history at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Walls. Animal lovers should also make a trip to Farne Islands, where they can spot puffins wobbling to their nests ashore. Fitness enthusiasts would enjoy a sunrise hike to one of the waterfalls, where they might even take a quick dip in. But of course, the best way to get up close and personal with nature is to live in it. So make yourselves at home at one of these top farm stays in Northumberland, UK!

During the day, guests may be accompanied by three dogs, two horses and one cat that roam the premises. Since there are no other holiday cottages on-site, guests are treated to a private retreat amidst nature.
