Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. If you’re still struggling to find the ideal gift for your nature-loving partner, why not whisk them away for a romantic escape under Northumberland’s starry skies?
A Unique Valentine’s Gift:
Tired of flowers and chocolates? This year, add a little flare and originality to your Valentine’s gift and surprise your partner with a romantic retreat on our farm. Organise something truly special and thoughtful to show how much you care…
Introducing our Star Barn:
Nestled within Northumberland’s renowned Dark Sky Park, our Star Barn is the ultimate location for a star-gazing weekend. Picture yourself snuggled up with your significant other, witnessing the wonderful night sky. You might catch a glimpse of Orion’s belt, one of the many visible constellations, or perhaps even a shooting star or two. Our beautifully restored barn is thoughtfully designed to enhance your stay, ensuring you witness the charm of the surrounding countryside.
Top Tip for staying at the Star Barn: If you’re into star-gazing, you can hire an array of stargazing equipment including telescopes, space torches, star charts, deck chairs, outdoor cinema equipment and live star data. Get the most out of your stay!
A Cozy Weekend Escape:
The Star Barn has every possible requirement for a weekend away. Its cosy open-plan lounge area, fully equipped dining kitchen, shower room & toilet, and spacious bedroom with a comfortable super-king size bed provide a warm and welcoming stay. We even have additional pull-out beds for any children or guests (for a small added fee).
Explore the Wonders of Northumberland:
Located within the Breamish Valley, our Star Barn accommodation is surrounded by many walking routes, so you can enjoy the beautiful English countryside. If walking doesn’t appeal to you, the barn is just a 25-minute drive from the historic town of Alnwick, famous for Barter Books and Alnwick Castle. The barn is also less than an hour from Bamburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed. You can spend a gorgeous weekend visiting all of Northumberland’s must-see sights, and return to the cosy comfort of the Star Barn.
Ingram Valley Safari Experience:
If you want to stay a little closer to home during your stay, you can explore the sights of Ingram Valley on our one-of-a-kind Ingram Valley Farm Safari experience. This Safari will take you back 6000 years to the Iron Age and the formation of the Cheviot Hills. With a personal guide, you will experience an off-road tour of the farm and the surrounding countryside, witnessing rich wildlife and stunning rural views.
Here’s what once couple said about their experience:
“We booked the safari as a treat for ourselves, celebrating a special occasion. Patrick and Rebecca made our whole tour the highlight of our holiday. We didn’t expect a safari in Northumberland to be as exciting. We had fabulous views, beautiful wild flowers, birds and animals a plenty and a wonderful picnic lunch at 1,000ft. It was lovely getting so close to the deer too. Highly recommended.”
– Linda and Julian
