Pod we stayed in was Willow glamping pod. It smelled like home washed linen with beautiful little touches like nice Tropics products and Bath House bubble bath. There was a basket of games, giant marshmallows for toasting. The bath tub outside was a bit quirky but I loved it. Fire on and glass of bubbly and it was heaven. Our views were of miles of fields being lambing season seeing them playing in the fields surrounding just adds to the experience. This was the R&R my partner and I really needed. We would certainly recommend and close to lots of heritage sights for all you historic seekers. 3 months ago Β· via Google Emma Ferrell β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… We just had an amazing 7 night stay at The Black Hut. The hut has everything you need including games and binoculars and all the modern conveniences like a dishwasher and is so cosy. The bath outside was amazing and the kids loved it. The views are stunning and we loved taking walks in the area and enjoying a good book with a crackling fire in the rocking chairs after sunset. Debbie and Mark were both so lovely, and checking in and making sure we had everything we needed and lovely treats and welcome gifts for the kids were so thoughtful. We had an amazing farm tour with Mark who showed us around the farm and told us a bit about the animals and showed us the beautiful views around the farm. My daughter loved also going to say good morning and goodnight to Henry the horse when he was out in his field. It was such a beautiful and relaxing stay with the kids and we can't wait to visit again in the future. Thank you so much for such a fantastic stay. 11 months ago Β· via Google whitela6 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… The most peaceful, tranquil and cosy place we have ever stayed at. The black hut was well equipped for all your needs to be self-sufficient for a couple of days. All you needed to do was just shut down and relax in front of the wood burner with a drink in hand. Such a beautiful place and one that we will return to soon. a year ago Β· via Google janine pearce β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… This place is incredible! As there are only 2 Pods on the farm, it feels like you have the place to yourself. We had never been glamping before, only camping and we have been well and truly impressed. The owners are so welcoming and cedar pod where we stayed was surprisingly spacious, fitting our family of 6. The kids especially enjoyed the complimentary chocolate while I enjoyed the beautifully scented soap, lip balm and hand cream. The children also benefited from eco friendly activity packs. The place was immaculate with everything you need for a comfortable stay including tea and coffee. The beautiful surroundings gave a safe space for the children to play. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back to hire both Pods and the fabulous BBQ hut! Just a shame we missed a calf being born as she decided to birth after we left. A wonderful weekend! 5 years ago Β· via Google [More campsites in Northumberland](https://staycation.co.uk/northumberland/camping) β˜… 5.0 (51 reviews) [Visit website](http://www.sycamorecottage.org/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=campsite) [07793 868277](tel:07793868277) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Northumberland **Dogs allowed** βœ… Yes **Electric hook-up** ❌ No 🏨 ### Prefer a hotel nearby?
