Firwood Bed and Breakfast itself is in a delightful position.
Elevated, with views over the surrounding Northumberland countryside,
our trademarks are peace and tranquillity.

The
house was built around the 1860’s as part of the estate of Middleton
Hall as a Dowager Lodge and was said to have been used as a hunting
lodge.
It was lived in for over 90 years by Captain Humphrey Simpson and
retains many of its original features. Porticoed entrance with tiled
hallway, wide Georgian style doors leading to spacious lounge and
dining rooms, both with open fires and bay windows in which to sit
and contemplate the views |
| The
3 en-suite bedrooms, are again spacious, with original fireplaces,
sash windows and all the accommodation is on ground level. They
are decorated in individual period styles but with all the mod cons
of en-suites, some with bath with shower over (Our shower heads
use a new technology called Oxygenics which mixes air with water.
It takes the incoming water, magically transform it into an oxygenated
hydro massage for your body while inconspicuously reducing water
usage and maintaining maximum efficiency levels! Anyway, it gives
a decent shower!) tea and coffee making facilities, televisions,
hairdryers, a selection of organic, eco- friendly, natural toiletries
and of course central heating - something not around when the house
was built!. |

Take
time out from sight seeing, sit for a while and just enjoy our garden,
about 1 acre of lawns and terraces and another of woodland, with
views over the surrounding Northumberland countryside. If you come
in the right season, help yourself to an apple, pear or plum to
munch on. We are also in an ideal position for many local walks,
from easy, circular strolls, to the more strenuous assaults on the
Cheviots - many of which can be started and finished at Firwood.
And don’t forget, if you do fall in a stream and get wet while out
walking the Northumberland Hills, let us dry off your boots and
clothes ready for your next trip. |
