Swans
Swans on The River Coquet
We are fortunate to have swans on the river below the farm. They can be seen regularly from Rothbury to Weldon Bridge and it is lovely that they choose to frequent our stretch of the River Coquet at Cragend Farm. If you are staying with us in our Holiday accommodation you are welcome to visit the river to see what wildlife is there. We have also seen some ducklings with their mother this week.
Exceptional historical farm accommodation with welcoming hosts. Beautifully restored farm in rural location just around the corner from Cragside. Lovely extra large bed in huge bedroom. Great fresh breakfast. Fantastic hosts, Lou and Shaun who really could not have done more to make us feel welcome. Just sorry we weren't able to stay longer!
