Crabtree & Crabtree invites you to reimagine self-catering and define your own luxury with our exclusive portfolio of holiday cottages, set in the very best spots of some of Great Britain’s wildest regions: the North of England and South of Scotland.

A true one-off, Walltown Byre is an eclectic country retreat that blends cutting-edge design and contemporary art with unabashed fun and a dose of philanthropy with an addition of a luxurious hot tub.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the North Pennines, Haltwhistle is a charming market town in the heart of Hadrian's Wall Country. Home to a mixture of independent shops, traditional pubs, and the region's only open-air swimming pool, it's the perfect base for a country escape. The closest town to the central section of Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and within easy reach of the well-preserved Roman forts of Vindolanda and Housesteads, Haltwhistle is ideal for families and history enthusiasts. The town is also known as a gateway to the Pennine Way, a 268-mile trail which traverses sweeping moors and lush woodlands, which is sure to delight keen walkers. Beyond Haltwhistle, the beautiful castle and gardens in the historic town of Alnwick are just a short drive away. The Northumberland National Park is brilliant for hiking, cycling, and wildlife spotting, while the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is within easy reach for day trips, from the iconic Bamburgh Castle to the puffin-dotted Farne Islands.
