This former convent has been converted into a beautiful 11 room boutique hotel. Surrounded by impressive countryside and pretty coastlines it offers the perfect balance of history and nature, with comfort and luxury. From its more formal beginnings as the Convent of Mercy, no detail has been committed in the owners' desire to create a home of modern hospitality with the promise of an unforgettable stay. The surrounding area provides many opportunities for country pursuits and where better to relax after a day shooting and hunting than The Cookie Jar? The hotel offers guests use of a gun room (with safe lockers allocated to specific rooms), kennels for canine visitors, a drying room to hang waxed jackets and wellies, a cigar shack and a comfy lounge to enjoy an after-shoot beverage. And the popular bistro serves seasonal classics to warm you up after a day in the country. On Summer nights, the expansive garden is a lovely, relaxed setting to drink and dine, while fire pits and heaters make it the ideal spot for star-gazing on chilly evenings. Or snuggle up on one of the inviting sofas in the exclusive lounge, where guests can enjoy light meals, afternoon teas, snacks and drinks. And when it comes to retiring at the end of the day, every detail has been considered to ensure you have a wonderful night's sleep. The Mother Superior of all the rooms is The Chapel suite. The modern, yet classic interior tastefully enhances original features including stain glass windows. Each of the rooms has been named after a local place of interest - from St Cuthbert's Cave to Holy Island - and has been furnished and decorated its own particular style. Signature drench showers, oversized fluffy towels, fine English linen on Hypnos beds and deliciously scented toiletries are all standard in every room. And no stay at The Cookie Jar would be complete without trying their own homemade cookies, offered complimentary in all rooms. The Cookie Jar is located in historic Alnwick, along the medieval cobbled streets of Baliffgate and is a short stroll to the Baliffgate Museum and imposing Alnwick Castle. Northumberland boasts beautiful countryside for walking, fabulous beaches for paddling and historic castles to explore. The coast is just a few miles away - so why not take a boat trip to spot Puffins and visit the grey seal colonies?

  • Huts In The Hills

    • 4
    • 2 nights min stay

    Sitting on the sprawling Northumberland grounds of Prendwick Farm and just on the edge of the dramatic Northumberland National Park, you will come to the Huts in the Hills. Although rustic in appearance and set in some of England's most sparsely populated land, the huts benefit from all the mod cons necessary for a modern getaway, including fridges, ovens, hot showers, and flush toilets. And while every hut has its own distinct character, there is one thing that they have in common: quality. Each of these delightful cabins is constructed from the finest quality reclaimed oak, with artisan hand-forged wheels and sheep’s wool insulation. There are five to choose from in total: Dunmore, which sleeps two and has a charming little terrace; Hedgehope, with a maisonette bed and sliding oak dining table - again sleeping two, but slightly larger; the Hütte, a uniquely designed two-story, two-person hut; Cheviot, a four person hut which boasts children's bunkbeds and a dramatic skylight; and then Maylies, the largest of the five. Maylies sleeps up to five guests and has two double beds along with a single bunk bed. Because the location is incredibly remote and the huts are spaced far apart, guests are assured of the utmost privacy. Although the huts are the perfect setting for a self-catering getaway, food can be arranged. This includes breakfast hampers, picnic lunches, and even evening meals. Prendwick Farm benefits from sitting right on the fringes of Northumberland National Park. Why not take a hike to the Cheviot Hills or along the iconic Hadrian's Wall? The region is incredibly remote, and so makes for some of the best stargazing in the whole of the UK. Other local places of interest include the Victorian country house of Cragside and Howick Hall - the home of Earl Grey. Just a 30–40-minute drive away you will come to the spectacular Northumberland coastline, replete with beaches and ample surfing locations. For the history buff, there is The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, linked to the mainland by a causeway and cut off twice daily by the eb and flow of the tides.
