Welcome to Greystead Holiday Cottages!
Our multi-award winning, 4 and 5 star luxury cottages, with Gold Awards, are in the North Tyne valley in the heart of Northumberland National Park and Dark Skies area, near Kielder Water and Forest Park, Kielder Observatory and Hadrians Wall. They are also within easy reach of Hexham, the Northumberland Heritage Coast and the Scottish Borders.
Greystead Old Church (sleeps 8) is an outstanding recent 5 star conversion of a Grade 2 listed former Georgian church which has recently been awarded a Visit England ROSE Award. Our 4 star Gold Award Georgian Coach House (sleeps 6), which overlooks the superb Walled Garden, dates to 1817.
Kielder offers walking, cycling, star-gazing and a whole range of other activities to suit all ages and tastes, while our cottages are just a short drive from picturesque Bellingham with its 18-hole golf course. Salmon, trout and sea trout fishing can be arranged on the North Tyne River via the owners.
The perfect base for touring the area's many delights!
