Who could have predicted all this? January and February showed us to have a good level of bookings for the year and we were looking forward to a more settled trading pattern following the Brexit debacle!
Being uncertain that the timing is right and having studied the newly released regulations, we are becoming increasingly aware of the difficulty in trying to reopen safely. We have reluctantly decided that the safest option for all is to remain closed until at least the new year. All else aside, we are not sure how enjoyable a holiday would be in our stripped down premises and with restaurants and attractions with reduced capacity in order to meet current legislation. Additionally, we intend to use the time to address on going health issues.
This has been a very hard decision for us to make and we would like to thank our many guests for their support during these trying times. Once we see how the situation develops regarding the virus, we will let you know our intentions for the future.
Here’s hoping you all stay safe and well,
Mike and Beth
Welcome to Firwood Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Northumberland
Firwood Bed and Breakfast is set in an enviable, elevated position in north Northumberland.  Not far from the Borders, this former lodge house used to be part of the estate of Middleton Hall and is now bed and breakfast accommodation owned and operated by Mike and Beth Mills. Set in its own grounds with private off road parking, the B&B overlooks the picturesque area of Northumberland known as Glendale and nestles close to the Cheviot Hills and is right on the edge of the Northumberland National Park. Just a mile and a half from the bustling market town of Wooler, the rural setting provides peaceful and relaxing bed and breakfast accommodation with style and luxury. Tranquil is a word many guests use to describe Firwood. Read More
We offer a magnificent location, central for exploring all of Northumberland. The Northumberland National Park is on our doorstep as are the foothills of the Cheviots. Chillingham Castle and Ford and Etal are but 10 minutes away and even the delights of Bamburgh , the Holy Island of Lindisfarne,  Alnwick Garden and Alnwick Castle are all within easy reach. If you want to cross to the Farne Isles to see the Puffins, the boats leave from the harbour at Seahouses, again a lovely drive of just under 20 miles. We can arrange your sailing if you wish. Look at the attractions page to see the breadth of things to see and do.
