St Oswald's Farm

St Oswald's Farm A beautiful award winning holiday cottage in the heart of Northumberland, offering luxury 5* accommodation for two. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Situated on Hadrian's Wall and near to Hexham, the National Park and perfectly located for enjoying all Northumberland has to offer. Heavenfield Cottage is a beautifully renovated farm building conversion on our family farm in the heart of Hadrian’s Wall Country. The cottage sits very uniquely on top of Hadrian's Wall itself and offers luxury 5 star and award winning self catering accommodation fo

r two. This working farm stocks over 1100 sheep and a herd of 120 cattle and has been in our family for over 50 years. We love where we live and what we do and in 2017 we diversified to something new, to something that would enable us to welcome guests to our beautiful location. The old farm building was converted to a stunning self catering cottage and we are now delighted to be able to offer guests the opportunity to enjoy all that makes St Oswald's Farm special. There is history all around us, not only are we located on the Hadrian's Wall National Trail, we are adjacent to our very lovely 'Heavenfield' the old cattle site of the Battle of Heavenfield which took place in 633 and in which stands St Oswald's Church. Heavenfield is also a preserved hay meadow and the end point of the long distance walking route, St Oswald's Way. Not only are we immersed in history here, we have the most fantastic views and our central location means we are ideally positioned to enjoy day trips to the whole of Northumberland from Hadrian's Wall, to the Northumberland National Park, the Dark Skies and the fantastic Northumberland coast, the magnificent castles, charming gardens and the many amazing visitor attractions. We are happy for guests to explore our farm and will happily recommend walks and even provide a map of the farm showing the best vantage points. We will gladly answer any questions you might have about our farm, our animals and recommend day trips and places of interest if you're struggling to choose from the huge choice. Within the cottage itself many of the original features remain, with beams, exposed stonework, cobbles outside and with stones from Hadrian's Wall itself within the construction, Heavenfield Cottage is immersed in history and you can even boast that you've slept on top of Hadrian's Wall. A modern and well equipped kitchen ensures self-catering is a pleasure and we know you'll feel at home in this luxurious yet comfortable and cosy cottage. Underfloor heating and a log burner means you'll be toasty and warm and a drying cupboard ensures you can dry out those muddy boots from a day's walking. The cottage has been equipped to a high standard with lots of home comforts to ensure your stay is as comfortable and luxurious as possible. We look forward to welcoming you here to St Oswald's Farm, where you will receive a friendly and personal welcome.

🐾 Meet Pip! 🐾

Thank you so much to everyone who suggested a name, wow, when we asked for suggestions we weren't expecting quite so many great names to choose from. 💛

After much deliberation, we finally settled on Pip… and she's now here and settling in beautifully! 🐶 And she is every bit as gorgeous as we thought she would be.

I think it’s fair to say she’s already got us all wrapped around her little paw! 🐾

Remember Ridley’s Rock? 💛

A few months ago, we shared the story of the huge stone that had finally made its way to the top of the mound in 'The Whins' - more than 40 years after John’s Dad, Ridley, had first hoped to put it there.

We asked you whether we should put a bench there so you could sit and enjoy the view - and you said YES!

And it’s finally there, a lovely oak bench, a little place to sit, pause and enjoy the view across the farm and beyond.

We think Ridley would have rather liked it 💛 and we hope you enjoy sitting there as much as we do.

🥾 Take a Walk – Wylam to Prudhoe

Fancy a riverside ramble? This lovely 3-mile walk along the River Tyne between Wylam and Prudhoe is a local favourite.

The mostly flat route follows the river through pretty countryside and woodland, with the chance to spot kingfishers, herons and, if you're lucky, an otter or two. 🦦

There's plenty of history along the way too, including the impressive Hagg Bank Bridge, built as part of the railway that once carried goods between Newcastle and Carlisle.

With a railway station and parking at both ends, you can either walk back or hop on the train – making it a particularly handy linear walk.

And if you fancy making a day of it, you can extend your visit to George Stephenson's Cottage or explore the railway museum in Wylam.

A lovely combination of countryside, riverside walking and a bit of Northumberland's railway heritage.

📍 As with all our featured walks you'll find a leaflet in the cottage.

"Where's the best place to watch a sunset in Northumberland?"

Our answer...

It's hard to choose just one! But if we had to, we'd say right here at St Oswald's!

BUT...it doesn't matter where you are in Northumberland when the sun goes down, whether it's the wide-open beaches along the coast to the dramatic landscapes of Hadrian's Wall or just simply in the peaceful countryside, Northumberland puts on some incredible evening skies. One of our favourite things is that no two sunsets are ever the same.

Do you have a favourite sunset spot? We'd love to hear it.

Things we hear surprisingly often... 🤭

"We wish we'd booked for longer."

"We don't want to go home."

"It's so much quieter than we imagined."

"We'll definitely be back."

However.... we'll absolutely never get tired of hearing them.

🐾We need your help!🐾

There’s a new four-legged team member arriving at St Oswald’s soon, but we just can't agree on a name for her! 🐶

We’re looking for something that suits a collie, is short and easy enough to shout across a field, doesn't make John sound like a complete plonker and, preferably, doesn’t sound too much like our two eager but very easily confused collies, Dot and Bea! 😂

Just look at that little pink nose - isn't she just the cutest thing ever?!

Come on give us your best doggy names 👇🐾

🍂 "Autumn isn't second best"

Everyone talks about summer.

But from October onwards Northumberland takes on a whole new feel

🥾 The walking is at its best with a showcase of autumnal colour
🌊 The beaches even quieter than normal
🍃 You can almost hear the countryside settling itself for winter
🌟 By day the skies seem bigger and by night the stars come out to shine

If you enjoy peace and quiet, this is Northumberland at its finest.
