The Gathering is a spacious holiday lodge situated in a small, private development. Recently featuring in a Christmas special of Vera, the lodge features two bedrooms spread out across a ground and first floor.

About this property

The Gathering has an adjoining property, The Parlour. If you are looking to travel with a large group, you can reserve both properties and enjoy a stay for up to 10 guests.

Sprouting out of a brand new development area, The Gathering contains a series of tasteful and artistic rooms across two floors, each of them stylishly designed and dressed. The living room is fully furnished with a wide sofa and matching armchair and footstool, all perfectly positioned to enjoy the views through the ceiling height windows.

Across from the living room is The Gathering’s spacious kitchen, fully equipped with oven and grill, kettle, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, cutlery and dinnerware.

This area has a real social feel to it with a large kitchen island and high seating for four. This is the ideal setup for show cooking if you wanted to treat yourself to a private chef experience.

There are two dining areas alongside the kitchen, seating up to 10 people in total.

The master bedroom features a super king-sized bed, a free-standing bath and walk in wardrobe.

Large double doors allow you to step out onto the decked balcony where you can enjoy beautiful scenic views of the surrounding countryside.

The second room features twin beds, which can be setup as a king upon request. All beds are dressed in luscious bed linens and the plushest pillows and both bedrooms have an adjoining bathroom with a shower, WC and basin.

The property has a large outdoor area with private patio and hot tub.

The area

The Gathering is right in the middle of Northumberland’s magnificent countryside. It is roughly 10 minutes drive away from the National Trust’s Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens and the nearby village of Belsay itself, which sits right on the A696.

Centred in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside, The Gathering has great connections for those who may be needing to make a quick trip into Newcastle - roughly a 30 minutes drive along the A696.

The closest train station can be found Prudhoe where you'll find a direct route into Newcastle. A number of connecting routes can be found from Newcastle so getting to other locations around the UK could not be easier.

“My family and I had a wonderful short break. We felt right at home and everything about the property was warm and welcoming and we were able to immediately relax and enjoy a quick dip in the hot tub with sensational views of the Northumberland countryside. Lovely touch from John to call down after we arrived to welcome us, say hello and check everything was ok. We all enjoyed fabulous scrambled eggs the following morning courtesy of the John and his chickens.... not to mention Oscar the dog - I could happily have stayed at the house all day throwing the ball for him but unfortunately my family wanted to go siteseeing! Overall a wonderful stay in a fabulous home - would highly recommend!!”

“Had a wonderful stay at The Gathering. The property is absolutely stunning with great country views. It seemed bigger than the photos too. Hot tub was huge and loved it. We forgot to put the cleaning aids in later in our stay but after contacting the host (and John) they were very quick to respond and help us sort it out which was great. John was very friendly. Would happily stay there again.”

“Property is better than advertised. The 2nd bedroom is on the ground floor so there is bathroom with toilet on the ground floor. Great when you have just got out of the hot tub.Off the main bedroom upstairs is actually a walk in dressing room. In the photos you can see a desk and sofa, that is a separate area from the bedroom separated with a door.It was lovely to be able to sleep and have balcony door open as it was so peaceful with a view to match.Beds were oh so comfy! Too big for me to hide in the car ;-). Edroom even has a little table with kettle and cups if you need tea in bed.The owners live in house next door (not attached, that is the parlour) and welcomed us and we’re available if any issues otherwise they leave you alone which is perfect. The Gathering living area / bedrooms are not overlooked either by owners property so you do have privacy.Finally being a dog lover….. the vocal welcomes from Oscar made me smile”
