This traditional style, Northumbrian stone house is ideally located for a peaceful, rural escape whilst not being too far from some of the major attractions including Alnwick’s famous ‘Harry Potter’ castle and contemporary gardens. Sleeping up to eight guests, The Fold is perfect for families and groups of friends looking for a getaway in the heart of Northumberland. The Space: The Fold is one of only ten properties to be given special permission to be built in this quiet conservation area estate village on the site of the former Home Farm steading, between the village cricket ground and the mill pond. Built-in traditional Northumbrian style with local stone, it mixes the solidity of times gone by with a superior contemporary internal finish. It is set amongst similar newly built properties and conversions of the Blacksmith's, The Old Sawmill, and Joiner's Shop, all part of the original Home Farm site. The open plan living and dining area is the perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring. Fire up the real wood burner for cosy evenings in. In the summer months, the French doors to the rear open out to the property’s large garden. Children will love the swings and Wendy house, while the adults can relax and take in the distant sea views. Double doors from the dining area lead through to the fully equipped kitchen which features modern amenities, cookware and crockery. Perfect for preparing home cooked meals during your stay, you'll have everything you could need. From the kitchen, there is a separate utility room. Also downstairs is a cloak room, along with a shower room with a WC and wash basin. The Fold also has a separate snug room with a TV which is perfect for families holidaying together. Head up to the first floor and you’ll find the master bedroom with a king-size bed and ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is versatile with a zip/link twin or super-king size bed (please state at the time of booking how you would like this room to be made up). The third bedroom has a king-sized bed, and the fourth bedroom has two single beds that are more suited to children. Completing the first-floor layout is a cosy family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Guest Access: Guests have access to the full property. The keys to The Fold are accessed via a key safe box and full details will be provided prior to check-in. Private on-site parking is available for two vehicles. Free on-street parking is also available nearby on a first come, first served basis. One well-behaved dog is welcome to stay at The Fold per reservation.

Lots of space for us all and plenty of bedrooms. Lovely garden and view of the distant sea.Downstairs shower tray may need some attention as not draining away very well.....otherwise all excellent! ##### Gail L. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carole 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property itself was lovely however the 24/7 customer service from Host and Stay was none existent. We arrived for a 2 night stay on the hottest days of the year. All 4 bedrooms were occupied and no fans to access. The place was HOT!! Called the support number who promised to call owners to resolve but nothing done. No sleep for anyone until 4am ish when it cooled down naturally. Called the next day, unable to get through so left a message and no reply or action. Second night the same. So very disappointed with the customer support and as lovely as the property was our whole experience was ruined with the lack of provision for severe heat. ##### Carole Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cottage Inn Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-The-Cottage-Inn-Hotel.h32059073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hope and Anchor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Hope-And-Anchor-Hotel.h2271074.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Schooner Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Schooner-Hotel.h15651493.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Percy Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Percy-Arms.h4478017.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garden Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Cabin-Walk.h78265449.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Joiners Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-The-Joiners-Arms.h18370209.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hot tub, spa-like garden, log burner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Hot-Tub.h24040569.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Fossil Bank, a luxury detached retreat in the heart of Alnmouth, with parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Fossil-Bank.h19282964.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Ingram House Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-Ingram-House-Bed-Breakfast.h66883452.Hotel-Information)
