Grey Hens

Grey Hens near Rothbury is a true delight, nestled in the Coquet Valley in a balmy, romantic spot between Rothbury and Felton. Just for two, Grey Hens is incredibly stylish yet super-cosy, providing an oasis of calm amongst the blissful gardens and serene countryside.

Renovated by local artist, Marie Stansby, the converted barn mirrors her style of classic and modern, embracing the rugged Coquet valley landscape with all the soft touches you crave in a quiet retreat. The gardens are separated into ‘rooms’ giving you an element of privacy whilst you discover the vegetable patches, the pond garden and the rockery.

Grey Hens is divine in summer of course, but just as dreamy in the winter. With the wood burning stove, roll-top bath and fluffy bathrobes, you’ll enjoy guilt-free lazy mornings and dozing in front of the fire.

Secretly buried away from the hustle and bustle, you can reach Rothbury in the car in less than 10 minutes, Alnwick in 20 minutes and the nearest beach (Warkworth) in 30 minutes. Sounds like the best of both worlds. 2 dogs welcome to.

Grey Hens won a Rose Award in May 2022! Visit England Award their ‘Recognition of Service Excellence’ to only a small group of accommodation providers across the UK each year.
