Greystead Old Church - Self-catering cottage in Northumberland
Greystead Rectory
Tarset, Hexham, NE48 1LE, Northumberland
England,
Reino Unido
The church sits in the North Tyne Valley with the riverbank just yards away for paddling, salmon fishing and picnics – it's a grand spot surrounded by dry stone walls and many sheep. Step over the stone porch into a large, flagged hall, down a corridor and into the sitting room with the Pre-Raphaelite Victorian stained-glass windows and a wood-burner. Lovely to sit here quietly looking at the original floor tiles and examining the stained glass. Comfortable bedrooms with antique furniture and bathrooms are on this floor too.
Up the open-plan oak staircase to the mezzanine where you'll probably spend most of your time. A Neptune kitchen has a massive central island for sharing the cooking, the wooden table is just built for convivial meals, there are more seating areas and a stunning view over the churchyard. Books, games and a big TV mean if you're stuck indoors you'll still be in holiday mood.
Through the churchyard and into the Old Rectory garden you have your own fenced garden for barbecues and fun. Or stargazing.
