Switch off ‘off-grid’

Staying at Gibshiel is a unique experience. Both a fantastic B&B retreat and a working hill farm, its off-grid location in the heart of the rolling Northumberland National Park is simply stunning. The gardens and farm total 102 acres and are the perfect setting to switch off for a few days and get back to nature with amazing views at every turn.

Accommodation is based in the homely farmhouse, which has been completely modernised, featuring three spacious guest-rooms all with ensuite facilities. There is a double and a twin on the first floor and a double, fully accessible to wheelchair users, on the ground floor.

Heart of the Northumberland National Park & Dark Skies Park

Conveniently situated on the Pennine Way ten miles from the small historic market town of Bellingham and seven miles from the village of Byrness, Gibshiel is the perfect countryside stopover for walkers and cyclists – complete with its own drying room and washing machine for wet boots and clothes.

Local and regional attractions are all within easy reach. Bicycle trails/routes to the north of the farm offer access to Kielder and Scotland. The A68 is located approximately five miles up the road offering good road access to Hexham, Newcastle, Edinburgh amongst others.
