Blackton Grange sleeps 18 in 8 bedrooms.
This beatiful holiday farmhouse in the North Pennines, and set within 11 acres of private estate, is a triumph. Perfectly set up for multi generation families, friends, retreats and small weddings, there are open plan communal areas and a host of modern extras including a cocktail bar, games room, home cinema and wood fired hot tub.
Blackton Grange has been designed with comfort in mind, with every imaginable convenience. The well equipped kitchen/diner makes preparing and serving food for a group easy. The choice of wind-down zones is helpful for a mixed age range. The games room and snug area offers a very comfortable sitting room with sofas to fall into for a nice chat after supper, while on the other side of the room is the games room with cocktail bar, a chance to mix your own Manhattan or Long Island Iced Tea while engaging in a fun pool or darts tournament. There is also a large separate living room with cosy sofas, log burning stove and smart TV.
The home cinema with 100 inch screen is a magnet for the youngsters to catch up on the latest Netflix or Prime films. It's also fantastic for watching an important football, rugby or other sporting fixture together. A hot tub and cold water plunge tub outside add to the luxury with the chance of stargazing at night - this is a Dark Skies area after all!
Additional services offered by local vetted suppliers include massage therapy, chef hire, cocktail classes and murder mystery parties - please do ask.
Bedrooms are plush and pampering, with fabulous soft furnishings. 5 have en suites, 3 have delightful freestanding baths. The master bedroom has a private balcony.
The location of this holiday house, within an AONB and with direct access to the Pennine Way, makes Blackton Grange very popular with walkers and cyclists.
