Firwood House Bed & Breakfast Northumberland

Early 2019

I waited and I waited. Surely we must get at least a sprinkling of snow sometime? Yes we did! We has a fall of about 5-6 inches and the really nice thing about North Northumberland, is the amount of sunshine we get in the winter – so some beautiful scenic days. This was the view...
