The Cowshed is a superb barn conversion in the pretty Northumberland village of Horsley between Corbridge and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This single-storey barn conversion sleeps four people in two bedrooms, consisting of one king-size double with en-suite and a twin, as well as a bathroom. This cottage also has an open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and a sitting room with woodburning stove. Outside there's off road parking for two cars and a lawned garden with furniture and barbecue. With the Hadrian's Wall long distance path only a mile away and a pub within walking distance makes The Cowshed an excellent base.

The village of Horsley is situated one mile from the Hadrian’s Wall long distance path and has architectural features and a pub. The lovely town of Corbridge and the town of Hexham with its abbey, old gaol and old town centre are close by. The vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne with its many pubs, shops, eateries, museums and other attractions is within driving distance and has something for everyone.
