  • "Brilliant rental home."

    Lovely area and everything we needed. It’s just one those locations that’s great walks, site seeing, but also a chill out place as well.

  • "This is a really lovely property to stay in."

    The owners have managed to retain the original features and feel of the farm house whilst providing quality equipment and thoughtful extras. The village and surrounding countryside is so beautiful and easily accessible from the house. I have never seen so many hares. We loved it.

    Hi, Many thanks for your comments, really please you enjoyed your visit. We hope you visit again soon. Kind regards, Yvonne Property Owner

  • "We had a great week at Crookham Diary and we were very lucky with the weather."

    Visited Wooler to hike around Humbleton Hill and parts of St Cuthberts Way, well worth a trip to the summit for the views, nice cafe in Wooler too. Additionally walked a loop around Hethpool and we were lucky enough to spot a couple of Salmon under the bridge. The house was very clean and very well equipped. Numerous table tennis matches kept our boys entertained. Yvonne was very helpful to ensure we enjoyed our week and provided a very generous welcome pack. Thank you for our stay, we will definitely recommend Crookham Diary.

  • "I've never been in a holiday cottage so well equipped."

    There was more than enough of everything, and the knives were sharp. The house is really comfortable and has plenty of room. It is well located for exploring the northern part of Northumberland - within easy reach of Holy Island and Bamburgh - and the interesting villages of Ford and Etal are on the doorstep. Yvonne is friendly and has communicated well with us. I am happy to recommend Crookham Dairy.

  • "We had an amazing time at Crookham Dairy."

    The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend Crookham Dairy if you are visiting Northumberland for your holiday. We visited the Bliuebell pub just a 10 minute walk up the road. We visited Lavender tea rooms in Ford which serve the most amazing home made food and service. The owners and staff are very friendly and the tea rooms are very clean. Highly recommended.

  • "Stayed here for week with my husband, son and my parents."

    What an amazing house. Spotlessly clean, massive inside and very comfortable ,just perfect for our stay. Beds soo comfy we all slept well after busy days exploring. We loved the games room too and now experts at table tennis. Thank you Yvonne for the lovely welcome treats. Beaches not too far about half hour from the house and the coastline in Northumberland are stunning and not too busy. We visited Bamburgh castle, holy island, seahouses and lilidorei at Alnwick gardens which were all brilliant places to go for a day out. Nearby Heatherslaw steam railway which was brilliant and took us to etal castle and village. We drove to Eyemouth too over the border which is a fab fishing village. We were so lucky with the British weather too and only had one cold day. We all had a wonderful stay here but went far too quickly. We would love to come back again as still lots of places to explore. Thank you Mel, Dave & Finley Sue & Del

  • "The property was lovely, spacious and very clean."

    A building full of character and history. Very well equipped, there was everything you could need and much more. The welcome gifts were brilliant and very much enjoyed. A lovely peaceful location for a relaxing getaway. We stayed as a couple with two adult daughters and dog, and had plenty of space. The enclosed yard was great for the dog to freely explore. Plenty to see and do. Nice local pub, serving good food. Great place to stay as a base for exploring the Northumberland coast and other places of interest. We would definitely love to stay again.

  • "Crookham Dairy was a really characterful house and much larger than we expected."

    Its village setting was quiet but most convenient for local pub and bus. The farmyard (included in the rental) was an ornithologist’s paradise, and the surrounding countryside beautiful. Above all the owner (Yvonne) was extremely helpful and generous, and her preparation for new tenants 100%. For us, it was a great fortnight’s break.. Anna and Anthony .

    Hi there, Many thanks for your very kind feedback and useful comments. I just wanted to confirm that as we discussed, I have now added instructions about the opening the yard gates in the email sent to guests prior to arrival - thank you for the suggestion! (and it is still in the information pack in the house) and mentioned the comment about the property description on the website 'underselling' the property to Sykes, so hopefully they will review this. We hope that you visit Northumberland again soon. Kind regards, Yvonne Property Owner

  • "Our stay was made that much more enjoyable because of the amazing welcome we had in this home."

    We were greeted with a cake, biscuits and a full bowl of fruit along with some beautiful flowers on the dining table. Our children demolished the biscuits very quickly. Everything was thought of by Yvonne including having an emergency supply of most things such as toothpaste, deodorant and sanitary products which turned out to be needed as we had forgotten a couple of things on our way to the property. The beds were very comfortable and we all wanted to stay much longer than the 3 days that we were there. It's location was perfect for our historical tour of Northumberland and Edinburgh and we will definitely want to come back again. Thanks again from Robert, Fran and children.

The property

Etal 2.6 miles.

Set in the Northumberland countryside in the village of Crookham is Crookham Dairy, a traditional, sandstone cottage, boasting plenty of space for a family break.

With front and rear gardens, open fires and a sought-after games room, this Northumberland holiday home welcomes six guests and two furry friends to enjoy a break on a non-working farm.

The property was built in the early 20th century, having been a former dairy farm with a butchers, but is now the most inviting home, any time of year.

Inside, a bespoke kitchen, well-equipped with all you need to cater to your culinary needs invites you to cook up a storm, while the dining room with seating for six and a toasty open fire is where you can gather to enjoy your feast.

From here, you can find the sitting room, home to another open fire to cosy up near, along with a Smart TV for your evening entertainment.

Next is the games room, located in the old butchers’ shop and keeping with the character of the property, with table tennis and table football to keep you occupied and handy laundry facilities.

Completing the ground floor is a sleek shower room, ideal for freshening up after a day of exploring, while the first floor houses a bathroom for when you need a longer soak in the bath.

Choose from a zip/link super-king-size for flexibility, a king-size, or a twin on the first floor when it is time to rest your head for the night.

Outside, the rear yard has the ideal furniture setup for some alfresco meals, or simply admire the front garden and countryside views from the bench with a cup of coffee.

Crookham and the surrounding area of Northumberland is packed with adventure, with Etal, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Bamburgh and more to explore.

Take a trip to Etal, a picturesque village with a 13th-century castle, popular children’s railway, a winding river and a family-friendly pub, the Black Bull.

From here, you can travel to Berwick-upon-Tweed, a walled town full of history and bustling cafés, before arriving at Bamburgh, home to one of the most iconic castles in the country, with pristine sand dunes and welcoming pubs overlooking the sea.

Whether you're looking for a unique day out, family fun, or a romantic weekend away, Northumberland is the perfect destination.

Create memories that will last a lifetime at Crookham Dairy.

Where you’ll be staying

ETAL

Ford 2.3 miles; Berwick-upon-Tweed 10.3 miles; Bamburgh 19.6 miles.

The picturesque village of Etal rests in the far north of Northumberland in between Wooler and Coldstream, and forms the estate to the Joicey Family, and has done for over 100 years with its neighbouring settlement of Ford. Etal is home to a handful of fantastic, historic attractions that garner many visitors each year, including the ruins of the 14th century Etal Castle and the magnificent Etal Manor . Visitors can easily find their amenities on the village's main road, with the post office, general store and a tearoom combined into one for villagers' convenience; along with the fantastic Black Bull Bar, a place boasting fabulous good and a great atmosphere. A short distance south of the village is the fascinating attraction of the Heatherslaw Cornmill, a heritage museum packed with interactive exhibits for all the family that backs onto the Heatherslaw Light Railway, a locomotive built by Neville Smith, running between Etal and Ford. Visitors can follow the River Till to Ford and visit the family-friendly Hay Farm Heavy Horse Centre, before touring the gorunds of Ford's breathtaking castle and Lady Waterford Hall. Fans of the outdoors will be elated with Etal being moments away from the border of Northumberland National Park, along with the village's great access to the Northumberland coastline, with the Farne Islands waiting to be explored. The village also acts as a great gateway to Scotland, resting just below the English and Scottish border.
