View on Google MapsPhoto: Don Schuetze
Felbrook Cottage is a detached property on Gibbs Hill Farm, a working farm near Hexham in Northumberland. It sleeps six across three bedrooms: a double with an ensuite on the ground floor, a galleried bedroom with two single beds accessed by ladder from the double, and a second ground-floor bedroom with two singles and its own ensuite. There are two bathrooms in total. The living room has a woodburner with fuel provided, and the kitchen-dining area is fully equipped for cooking, with a dishwasher and washing machine to handle the practicalities of a longer stay.
The cottage comes with private parking for two cars, wifi, bed linen and towels. Dogs are welcome at no extra cost. An enclosed garden with a sitting area backs onto the property, and there's a courtyard for outdoor space. The farm location is working land, so it's a genuinely rural setting rather than a manicured village backdrop. Hexham itself is close by, with the broader Northumberland National Park on the doorstep for walking and exploring. Non-smokers only.

What guests say
Rented the bunkhouse for a birthday walking weekend and discovered it to be is a very sad state of disrepair, cold and uncleaned. The rooms were mouldy , buckets sat on windowsills to collect drips, there were bulbs missing and the fire alarms were without batteries. There was no heating. I asked our host, Val Gibson, to switch the heating on and after a few attempts of coming in to see to the boiler she soon gave up leaving us without heating for the weekend. The WiFi doesn't reach to the bunkhouse and can only be used when standing directly outside Vals house. The decking is rotten and has metal rails cable tied on to it as a backup. Guests should be aware there is no phone signal. No handsoap was provided and the showers and toilets had not been cleaned. Feel that I have been ripped off paying £500.00 for my birthday weekend to stay there.

My review is very post dated. Our large multi generational family booked the cottages and the bunk rooms for a family winter wedding in nearby Langley Castle a few years ago. The whole accommodation was absolutely perfect for our needs! It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped and very HAUNTED. We spent 3 wonderful days here and had the most beautiful walk out to Hadrian's Wall the morning after our nephew''s wedding. As there was no one booked into any of the accommodation on the day of our departure our host gave us time to relax and enjoy the most amazing surroundings before and after the wedding. Highly recommend!

Loved every moment there. Wonderful access to Hadrian's wall and local attractions. Cottage was dated but comfortable and accommodating.
