Lou is the owner of Cragend Farm with her husband Shaun, and deals with everything from Holiday Accommodation inquiries to egg collection from the chickens; she is the social media and web design finger-tapper.
The Easter holidays are coming shortly with lighter and warmer days.
The Armstrong Wing and The West Room are perfect for having a relaxing few days holiday over the Easter break and hopefully our yellow daffodils will start to peek up through the soil.
Our hens are laying again and love to give us gorgeous yellow eggs for Easter.
Dogs are welcome and there are plenty of walks to discover right outside our door.
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!

FUN AT THE FARM: I went to stay in a place named Cragend Farm with my mum, dad and sister Rosie. I loved it. I got to feed the 16 sheep, three cows, nine peacocks and 40 chickens. I also met three cows called Gem, Queen and Holly. On the farm was a black labrador called Bert. Rose and I loved him. I didn't want to leave!
