5* Barn Conversion c/w hot tub, sauna, games room, 1/4 acre enclosed games

Finished to the highest of standards, this luxurious barn conversion stands detached, and offers top quality fixtures and fittings within a modern setting yet still manages to retain all of its original character and charm.
The property is access via secure electric gates (the key code is provided when booking). The gates are controlled via either the outside keypad or the control panel located in the entrance hallway which provides sound and colour monitor for guests. The property sits in 1/4acre plot.
Spacious, light and airy throughout, the cottage is modern and bright. On the ground floor guests will find an open-plan sun room c/w vaulted ceiling that overlooks the garden and has bi-fold doors that open out on to a large decking area and then lead even further along, onto a superb outdoor seating area and then again onto a fabulous hidden area with private sauna and CD/radio sound system. Further still to a secluded 6/7 person hot tub with 139 x jets c/w a 37" satellite TV. New for 2021 is now an outside wet room together with an ice bucket challenge, although these new facilities are weather dependent (ie they will not be made available during cold seasons).

Upstairs the vaulted ceiling master bedroom offers a super kingsize heated waterbed together with a single bed, exposed beams, TV, DVD player, original exposed stone and an en-suite bathroom worthy of the highest of star gradings, with his and hers basins, towel rail, large walk in shower area and extra large free standing bath.
Every aspect of Winnie Cottage has been lovingly renovated and the attention to detail is super.

Short Family Stay
Thank you for an amazing stay. A great place with plenty of things to entertain people of all ages. The fact that it was dog friendly too was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend. We will definitely be back. Great communication from the owner throughout and we appreciated the welcome pack - it was so thoughtful.

Barn Conversion
I stayed here with my Son, Daughter in law and 2 Daughters, and 3 Grandchildren, the barn Conversion was absolutely fabulous, it had everything you needed and it was so spacious, The kitchen erea outside with a separate games room was fantastic, we spent all our time outside. Michelle and Mark our hosts were lovely i asked if they could arrange some decorations for my Daughters 50th birthday as a surprise and they were beautiful also had a bottle of Prosecco chilling too. The welcome pack was fantastic. The only problem for me was the glass coffee table in the sitting room my Grandson was keep bumping into it so we had to remove it out of there and also the dinning erea glass table i think both tables need some sort of protection on the corners where children are. The hotrub was a great size and views from hottub were spectacular. We all had a fabulous time. Thank you Michelle and Mark for being lovely hosts.

Outstanding - way too much to enjoy to sum up in 1500 words!!
I live in Cumbria. This properties location means it experiences very similar weather to what I'm used to. This is the only holiday property I've ever visited where so much thought has been put into the design of both the inside AND outdoor space so that no matter what the weather you are able to enjoy all the facilities all the time. Not the easiest place to find, even following the excellent directions, there were occasions towards the end of the arrival trip that we thought we'd gone wrong... just when you think you've turned into a final blind narrow alley there appear some heavy black gates which open automatically, allowing access to... well... I might aswell say it... a PERFECT oasis... A beautiful barn conversion, with a great layout. The gorgeous cellar/kitchen. The lovely open lounge area with a stunning - how to describe it?... television doesn't really do it justice... lets call it a Bang and Olufsen audio visual sculpture 😄 Great orangery/dining room leading out to the main outside space with kennelling for visiting dogs - the great part of that is that dogs brought by holidaymakers have virtual free range of the house, the kennels are there to cater for gun dogs/working dogs who would prefer to sleep outside the house. Theres an outdoor sauna, a covered spa with an outside TV. There's also an open air shower... To the front of the property is a large open air covered kitchen and games room. Absolutely 1st Class, reasonably priced too!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Spacious, clean, lovely location and property. The welcome hamper was amazing. The host were always quick to respond to any queries. Glad we had a chat with the maintenance person for the hot tub so we could make best use of it. Would have liked a few more cleaning products ie cleaning spray and bin liners.

In need of some TLC and sorting
Lovely house, The listing is not very clear as it’s hard to spot certain information. Was not that clear that the kitchen is located at the bottom of a steep spiral staircase & the dinning room is at the other end of the house. The kitchen is FULL of equipment like blenders etc that do not work. the “state of the art” equipment like the toaster &coffee machine are fiddly and not easy to use as quite old. There was no room to put any of the dry food we brought with us as the rest of the kitchen cupboards were full of cassette tapes, DVDs, VHS tapes & books that are probably not needed since there is sky in every room with Netflix available. not clear that the main bedroom has a waterbed and should be more clear in the bedroom description. there was no spare bedding or pillows provided. The bedroom with the bunk beds is nice & having all the stuffed toys is a nice idea but it does seem a little unhygienic. The listing states a washer dryer is available - but the on button was labelled with “do not touch” so we couldn’t use that. It would be useful to know that there was no cleaning products supplied with the exception of dishwasher tablets which were provided. A sweeping brush or vacuum cleaner would be useful in case there are any spills.The general cleanliness was poor when we arrived including dirty oven trays and crockery. The outside space is lovely and the facilities outside are great. any issues we had during the stay were quickly resolved.

Perfect privacy
I chose Winnie cottage as Winnie was name of my late friend and thought she would guide me to the right spot and she certainly did just that ! I wanted something private after not interacting for a long term period and this was perfect the whole property is secluded with awesome views plenty outdoor space to roam around,well equipped for catering and plenty toys for kids, the only things I’d of changed for our particular party is living area glass coffee table just for the toddler and mayb something around pond and sand the edging of fire pit seat which is a little rough on bare legs,, we hit great with weather so if mark and Michelle looking for any ideas a sail or umbrella for bit shade for hot days and maybe couple more loungers seats facing into the sun. these things were all very minor points and our view as a family but on a whole property is beautiful in a beautiful location and something to be proud of and iam sure in coming years it will only keep improving 😊 and thank you for the gift on arrival 🤗

Lovely house...outside was brilliant!!!
The house was lovely...it looks bigger on the pictures. There are alot of steps and the stairs going down to the kitchen could do with a handrail. Had to wash the cutlery before we could use it (perhaps some wash cloths and teatowels and a spare black bag??) but the kitchen was amazing. Fantastic that Sky was available in every room-great for everyone. The bathrooms were fantastic (perhaps a spare loo roll would be good).The garden facilities-the hot tub was the best I have been in, love the trampoline in the ground-the little one loved it and it felt safe. The garden is totally enclosed so fantastic for children and the dog. A few small things-we had to clean the Japanese grill before we could use it and the heating plate was too dirty so we didn’t use it. We appreciate it is outside but there were mouse droppings in the cupboards and the bin bag hadn't been emptied from the last guests. These are probably things the owners weren't aware of but hopefully they can be rectified because all in all the property is fantastic.

A winter stay at Winnie Cottage
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Winnie cottage. The owners of the property were in touch with us prior to our stay which made checking in and accessing the property straight forward. The cottage was very clean and provided everything we needed, including a lovely welcome basket filled with treats. We cooked a lot in the lovely kitchen and found all the utensils we needed. The outdoor space is huge and we made good of use of it even though it was snowing! The hot tub was fabulous and we all wrapped up and used the outdoor cooking space and games room. We can’t wait to come back in the summer for another long weekend at Winnie cottage! Thanks for having us!

Perfect property for the family
We traveled with my sister and family including two teenagers and two dogs. It was perfect. We could all be together or find some space. Lots of activities at the property to entertain, miles of public footpaths for the dogs and beautiful countryside and places of interest. Our hosts were excellent communicators throughout and left the best box of treats ( waistline expanded). Better than we hoped, was a privilege to stay.

Nice stay but in need of TLC
We had a lovely stay & the cottage has all amenities that you require. A little shabby in some area’s and in need of some TLC. We had to clean some cooking areas, pans, cutlery etc before we could use them as they was dirty & greasy, bedroom patio doors do not open & patio/hot tub area are tiresome & full of cobwebs/overgrown brambles. The trampoline needs a serious looking at as my little niece hurt her back as it has not been dug out deep enough underneath it & you hit concrete or hard ground, also it is only two feet away from a stone wall… serious accident waiting to happen.

This is a high end property, lots of space and technical extras. The outdoor area is safe and very secure, the games room and undercover bbq a nice extra (especially if the weather is unkind). We booked this 2 years ago and finally made it for a 60th birthday gathering. Three couples, the layout is such that you can all get together but also have your own space. Views from the hot tub/garden are stunning.

Stunning 'quirky property' which has been very well thought out on its redevelopment.
Fantastic short break in a stunning property with great location and access to nearby places ie Hexham, Corbridge. Everything catered for and internally property was perfect. For constructive feedback only the only things I was disappointed with was how uncomfortable the water bed was (had to move rooms mid break due to lack of sleep). There was also no table and chairs/comfortable seating outside. Outside kitchen and games room were fab and communication with owner has been brilliant. Thank you

Amazing
We were a group of 6 celebrating my wifes 60th and everything exceeded our expectations. From communication from Mark to the actual property, everything was 5 Star & 1st Class. The photos did not do the property justice and was the best property we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. With so much to occupy us we always had something to do. I had booked also the Chef Lewis as a surprise and he gave us all the most mind blowing dining experience and insisted all doing everything right upto serving and leaving the kitchen spotless when he left. He has to be booked or miss out on proper fine dining at the highest level. I including our group just cannot reccommend Winnie Cottage highly enough. Other property owners can only look & weep. The maintenance man Paul was just leaving on our arrival and offered to show us around and explaining everything and was so helpful. Mark & Michelle always available if needed. The Welcome Hamper most generous & appreciated. What more can be said other than if looking for the Ultimate stay then look no further. Winnie Cottage has it all and more!
