Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Northumberland offers brilliant adventures for children of all ages. Alnwick Castle features Harry Potter filming locations and interactive displays that bring history to life. The beaches at Bamburgh provide rock pooling and sandcastle building opportunities. Farne Islands boat trips let kids spot puffins and seals up close. The property's spacious grounds give younger ones room to play safely outdoors.
Groups Will Love...
The spacious social areas at Stewards House make it exceptional for group gatherings. The large kitchen allows multiple cooks to work together preparing meals for everyone. The dining area seats the whole party comfortably for long lunches and evening meals. Separate living spaces mean some can watch films whilst others play board games. This layout prevents that cramped feeling common in smaller properties.
Pet Friendly
Stewards House does not accept pets so you'll need to arrange kennels or pet-sitting services before your trip. Whilst this might disappoint dog owners, it does mean the property remains suitable for guests with allergies. Several local kennels operate in the Wooler and Alnwick areas if you're travelling from further afield. The nearby countryside would have been perfect for walks.
