The Experience

From the start, there’s a sense of occasion here. Along the half-mile drive you’ll meander, pulling in beside the buffed sandstone stable-house – creeper-covered, gothic-arched, and still part of the centuries-old Brinkburn estate. The restored Augustinian priory lies just beyond.

The waters tinkle beside your terrace and the grounds are yours to explore – swim, roam the woods, or amble with Rover along the riverside (up to three dogs are welcome), looking for otters. The Stables sleeps seven (eight at a push), and indoors there’s a surprise – everything’s fresh, white and clutter-free, especially the showpiece glass-walled kitchen, big enough to dine a dozen and with a bountiful welcome hamper.

At bedtime, choose a tome from the bookcase, take the stone stairs to your beamy bedroom, and drift away on dreams of monk-like seclusion.

Reviews

We come to the Brinkburn Stables quite often and always find the accommodation beautifully presented and clean. The rooms are always nicely made up with fresh linens and the bathrooms are clean. The kitchen is amazing with everything you could need, the welcome basket is always a great treat to find when you arrive. The staff especially Katie are super responsive to emails and communications and are very accommodating. ...Always a fantastic visit.

Vicki

Well what can I say! This property is absolutely stunning, the pictures do not do this place the justice it so deserves! Everything about the property is just amazing, it is very tastefully decorated and the Christmas tree was Beautiful 🎄 It was constantly warm and 2 wood burners to top the atmosphere off, we had some quality family time together and loved every minute, we really didn’t want to leave! The dogs loved it too with some fabulous walks on the doorstep 🐾 We will definitely be returning. We cannot fault the property in any way Five Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Tina

A striking modern conversion of Georgian stables with a cool, uncluttered, contemporary feel and in a peaceful wooded riverside setting.

Location

The neighbourhood

The Coquet valley is a find – secretive and sylvan, with its own walking trail, St Oswald’s Way, shadowing the river eastward to the wilderness beaches of Alnmouth Bay. It guides you across the fields to the Angler’s Arms at Weldon. Forage for your holiday larder in characterful Rothbury, four miles west and busy with butchers, bakers and craft emporia. The National Trust’s Cragside is there, too.

Local points of interest from Mark Fenwick

  • Brinkburn was once a large country estate and features its own stunning 12th-century Priory Church and Manor House.
  • A 5-minute stroll will take you to the Coquet River, woodlands and the hill fort of Brinkburn which looks out across to the Cheviot Hills.
  • The Running Fox Longframlington is a must for delicious afternoon teas and the most enormous bacon sandwiches.
  • Your choice of six luxurious holiday cottages for 2-6 guests each. Available to book together for large gatherings or rent out individually.
  • We pride ourselves on a relaxed and homely affair in five-star accommodation. It's the ideal escape for couples, large groups or anyone hunting for dog-friendly holidays.
