  • We had a relaxing week in one of the best properties we have rented. Wonderful location for all the main attractions. We had some wonderful walks along the coast and on Simonside ridge. Cragside is definitely worth a visit. This was our first visit to Northumberland but not our last.
    Mr & Ms Mclaughlin (visiting The Old School)
  • Just Wow! What a beautiful and peaceful place you have created. You can feel all of the love ( and hard work) that must have gone into creating this perfect escape.

    Mr & Mrs Frazer (visiting The Old School)
  • Thank you for the most fantastic stay! We arrived stressed & tired; we leave relaxed & rejuvenated. The structure itself is just incredible, appointed with everything we needed for an amazing stay. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate a birthday- We'll be back!
    Michael & Ciara (visiting The Glebe Retreat)
  • The Old School is a hidden gem! What a special week we had in this gorgeous, comfortable and stylish property! Walks by the coast in Bamburgh and Holy Island, a boat trip to the Farne islands. We will definitely return.
    Mr & Mrs Thompson (visiting The Old School)
  • This place was pure heaven, the nature is something to behold. The swing in the tree was so peaceful especially in the rain. Thanks for the memories.
    Sarah & Steve (visiting The Glebe Retreat)
  • We have had the most wonderful week at The Old School. The house itself is beautiful and really comfortable. The location is stunning and has acted as the perfect base for us to explore Northumberland.
    The Bekarma family (visiting The Old School)
  • We had the most wonderful time at The Glebe Retreat! The surroundings are absolutely stunning and we couldn't believe our luck with this weather. Everything inside the Retreat is beautiful and so well thought through.

The Glebe Retreat as featured in The Times magazine

Named one of the Times "25 Best Cabin Stays in the UK"

"There's something of the vintage aircraft hangar about the shape of this curvaceous new wooden hideaway, the only one on a site in the village of Edlingham, just outside Alnwick with its famous medieval castle, and ten miles from the Northumberland coast."

- Gemma Bowes and Holly Tuppen
