The Neighborhood:
Highfield is located in the quiet village of Newton-on-the-Moor, just 5 miles south of Alnwick. The village has beautiful views of the Northumberland Coast and the Cheviot Hills. The Cook and Barker Inn is located in the village which offers a bar and restaurant within walking distance to the property. If you’re looking for somewhere to relax and recharge your batteries, Newton-on-the-Moor is just the spot.

With cobbled streets lined with independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, Alnwick has charisma and personality in abundance. If you’re a keen reader, head to the old railway station and you’ll find one of the UK’s largest second hand bookshops. As night falls, venture to one of the lively inns to enjoy live music.

Alnwick also has some of the country’s top attractions including Alnwick Castle, which was the location for the famous Harry Potter film franchise. Discover a realm of adventure by taking on the Dragon Quest or complete broomstick training in the very spot where Harry Potter had his first flying lesson. Head to the Artisan Courtyard to have fun dressing up in medieval costumes and get a feel for 14th century life. You can also explore The Alnwick Garden where you’ll find 12 acres of magnificent gardens and the world’s largest treehouse restaurant.

Getting Around:
Highfield is within walking distance of everything Newton-on-the-Moor has to offer. There is a local pub restaurant in the village where you can enjoy lovely meals during your stay.

The closest train station is Alnmouth, which is roughly a 10-minute drive from the property so local towns in Northumberland can easily be reached via rail.

There are a number of bus routes through Newton-on-the-Moor. Hop on the 406 or 416 services which both travel to Alnwick.

Interaction with Guests:
We’re always available for our guests so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Some comments
On approaching the village using the postcode - and also the location link on your house details- took us quite the wrong direction and it took us about 30 minutes to find it - only after asking locals and at the pub. The description “ opposite the red gravel path” was not accurate - in fact it was “ at the red gravel path”. Perhaps a small map would be useful? Our first impressions of the house were a little disappointing. We felt that some aspects had clearly been either been ignored or misrepresented on the information and photos. The back view is rather bleak on the ground with rather messy unused stables and an old red van and there is a generally rather sad outlook. There are seats but the whole area is not too inviting. I imagine it is hard to think what to do with that if that is the immediate environment- could you put some small trees in pots on the balcony to soften it all ? Inside we make these recommendations Bathroom 1- the shower was not draining so was overflowing. Bathroom 3- there is mould on the ceiling and the hot and cold tap letters were lying on the shelf. Our family found the sink impossibly small to use All the toilet seats seemed a little ill fitting and moved around making it a little precarious for anyone with mobility issues Hooks on the back of the bathroom doors would be helpful for towels- and some bathrooms needed a wee shelf as there’s nowhere to lay anything. In the bedroom side tables would be appreciated . On the positive side the

Could be 5*
Great space for 6 of us and beautiful location. Warm and cosy with exceptional views. Let down by very poorly equipped kitchen, not very comfortable beds, no bedside tables, or side tables in huge living room. Really wouldn't take much for this to be spectacular. Kitchen needs replacing, but mostly the rest is just attention to detail

Friends Northumberland break
The house was perfect for our break, in a lovely spot with pub on the doorstep that served fantastic food. Lots of space with comfy chairs to sit out as well. A great base for exploring Northumberland.

Lovely roomy cottage
Fantastic spacious cottage. Great views from the lounge and veranda of the countryside and sea. A few yards from the cottage is an excellent pub serving great food. Due to number of guests staying a few more larger pans may have made cooking a bit easier and bedside tables would be appreciated. Otherwise a brilliant place to stay to have easy access to all the beauty of Northumberland.

Lovely house for a large family group
The house was a great size and with four large bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodating 8 adults was no problem. The house itself lacks a little TLC and there were a few obvious things: No coffee tables in the lounge, no bedside tables, insufficient pots and pans, cutlery very cheap and blunt. There were initially issues with the main fridge but the owner responded straight away and brought us a second fridge. The property could do with either two working fridges or a large American style fridge - a self catering week away for 8 adults means lots of food and beverages to store but once we got the second fridge and had cleaned and repaired what we could of the original fridge we managed admirably through the week and had a great time. The beaches at Alnmouth & Bamburgh were great and we can highly recommend the boat trip from Seahouses to see the birds and seals. We even managed a run to Holy Island.
