Northumberland's 'brilliant' Moo House barn getaway praised

Moo House, a former cow byre in Tughall, Northumberland, has been transformed into a spacious luxury family getaway, earning glowing five-star reviews from guests who praise its comfort and amenities. The property, which sleeps up to 12 guests across five bedrooms and five bathrooms, is priced from £1,682 for seven nights and is next available in September.

Guests praise spaciousness and amenities

Reviewers highlight the "comfortable beds" and "well equipped kitchen," with one guest noting, "We had six adults and five kids in our party and the house did not feel cramped or too small." Another said, "We loved it so much we want to make it an annual booking!"

The detached indoor games room, dubbed the "Cow Shed," and the garden with a climbing frame, BBQ, and outdoor dining table were particular hits with children. One guest remarked, "The children loved the Cow Shed games room, our little granddaughter particularly loved the little play house in the attached garden and the swing and slide."

Location near Beadnell Bay

Moo House lies just a few minutes' drive from Beadnell and Beadnell Bay, described as a "watersports paradise" by Visit Northumberland. Last year, Beadnell was named one of the top UK destinations for a short break by Sykes Holiday Cottages, and one of the best British spots to bring dogs, though Moo House itself is not dog-friendly.

For those preferring a hotel, Beadnell Towers, a Grade II-listed 18th-century inn with 22 individually designed rooms, is the top-rated choice on Booking.com. The Craster Arms, a hotel, bar, and restaurant incorporating remains of a medieval tower house dating back to at least 1587, offers three dog-friendly rooms.

Minor drawbacks noted

While nearly all reviews are positive, one guest noted the cot needed to be bigger, and the property description mentions weak mobile signal and no EV charging. Walking to Beadnell's amenities takes around an hour and 10 minutes.
