Old School House

Summary

Old School House is a cosy detached cottage, sleeping 4, which nestles under Byrness Hill in the Northumberland National Park. Our cottage is perfect for those who want a break away from the stresses of modern city living.

Visiting Byrness & Exploring Northumberland

Byrness is the last village in England before the A68 disappears over the Cheviot Hills into Scotland. Its “away from it all” location makes Byrness an ideal centre for lovers of the outdoors, yet there are good pubs, cafes and shops within easy reach. Byrness is also an excellent base from which to explore the many attractions of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, including:

Kileder observatory.
Hadrian’s Wall.
Cragside, Wallington and Howick houses (and many more).
Historic Jedburgh.
Alnwick, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh and Warkworth castles.
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne and the Farne islands.
The wild Northumberland coast.
