The Granary, Carr Edge

The Granary at Carr Edge was a lovely place; I hope we can visit again. It's in a beautiful spot with gorgeous views on both sides. It looks remote on the map, but access to Hexham, Hadrian's Wall and various forts and museums was easy. It's picturesque, a stone-built farm house and outbuildings, so like my grandparents' that I visited as a child. Everything was perfect down to the signage. There's an interesting historic remnant of a Gin-Gang (look it up!). Our hostess, Sandy, was charming and ready to answer our curious questions. She had thought of everything, including delicious flapjacks for us. There was a water issue, referred to in earlier reviews, but there was plenty of bottled water for us and we found it no inconvenience. This was our favorite stay in Northumberland and I hope we can return.

Beautiful farm cottage stay with amazing views, parking and a home from home feel. Sandie was really friendly and helpful . Thank you!

This ia an amazing location, fabulous views and easy distance of Hadrian's Wall and Roman forts. The accommodation is lovely. Very clean, plenty of room and well maintained. We were very comfortabe there. Loved the tasty home-made lemon drizzle cake!

Really friendly host. Great location with amazing views. Lovely pub at the bottom of the hill. We had a great time walking the wall

The bed was very comfortable and in a very big bedroom. The bathroom is also large and great size shower. The whole place was very clean and a small welcome gift was awaiting our arrival. The Boatside Inn, very popular but amazing service and food We couldn't use the water, although bottled water was left and plenty of it, there were no instructions regarding if it was safe to shower, or use washing machine or dishwasher. There was no communication to warn us of this or the option to cancel. It would be useful for the owners to provide more details on how remote the property is and that you will need to bring supplies with you as no local shops nearby. My husband and I are disabled and although it was managable for us it might not suit others. It is my mistake but i wasn't aware of how remote the place actually was.

The place is very well managed, clean and tidy and well equipped. The location is relatively secluded, thus it is surrounded by beautiful scenery with flocks of sheep and cow nearby; it is tranquil for a good retreat from cities. Our host has been very hospitable to provide us with milk and flapjacks and the necessary supply of bottled water for drinking and food preparation. We look forward to staying there again after the water supply issue is fully resolved.

Die sehr abgeschiedene und ruhige Lage haben uns sehr gefallen. Direkt um das Grundstück herum gab es Schafe und Kühe, über die sich unsere kleine Tochter sehr gefreut hat. Außerdem hatte man einen tollen Blick über schöne Landschaften. Man konnte direkt ab der Haustür schön wandern. Die Unterkunft war rustikal und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es gab einen großen Garten. Es war extrem windig, was nicht nur dem klischeehaften Wetter geschuldet war, sondern auch der Hanglage mit vielen baumfreien, weiten Feldern. Das Leitungswasser hatte keine Trinkwasserqualität, weil irgendwo bei der Wasserversorgung ein Filter gefehlt hat. Man sollte das Wasser weder zum Zähne putzen noch zum Kochen verwenden (interessanterweise aber zum Geschirrspülen), weil es nicht keimfrei war. Mit kleinem Kind, war dann dadurch auch das Baden nicht optimal. Man hatte zwar Wasser zum Kochen und Zähne putzen zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen, ein Stück weit nervig war es aber doch, zumal wir immer Leitungswasser trinken und viel Tee kochen. Man hätte zumindest beim Buchen einen Hinweis auf die Lage geben können.

location problem with water supply ,no one told us till we were there

Very spacious accommodation, large bedrooms and well equipped living room/kitchen. Both bedrooms had large en-suites with full size baths. Location is on a farm which is in a fairly remote location woth stunning views. Wi-Fi worked well. Perfect for a rural weekend break - nothing to dislike

Ruime karakteristieke accommodatie op een rustige locatie met een fantastisch uitzicht.

Beautiful location and a lovely place to stay. A lot of noise from children running about upstairs on our last day. Did not like the extra money we had to pay for "Damage protection" - never had to do that before.

It is nice property, it is clean and comfortable farm house, and the facilities are very good. The owner is very nice.
