Moo House and the Cow Shed
5 star contemporary barn conversion on the Northumberland Coast
Our Large House Party and Venue For Large Family Get Togethers!!
A superb place to stay for special gatherings, Moo House has seen its fair share of reunions, 40th birthday dinners, yummy mummy pamper, corporate Christmas parties as well as holiday guests looking for something a bit different with more than a touch of luxury, without the chintz!
''Moo House is a hit for new parents looking for a glamorous self catering option. Its Northumberland location is a revelation with sweeping beaches, low-key spas & salty dog pubs just a short drive away’'….Jane Anderson, Travel Editor, Junior magazine, Feb 2007
Moo House is a newly renovated stone barn conversion at Tughall Steads, a hamlet situated on an organic coastal farm, only 5 minutes drive from the beaches of Beadnell and Newton-by-the-Sea. It is aptly named, as the building was formerly a cow byre!
Moo House sleeps 10 plus several cots, with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (two beds and shower rooms on the ground floor offering good disabled access), and plenty of parking spaces. The house is light, bright and airy and furnished to a 5-star standard (awarded a 5 star grade by VisitBritain 2007). With large lounge and spacious kitchen/diner, floor to ceiling windows, log burner, comfy sofas, 32" television, CD player, king size beds, courtyard garden with table and chairs, and walled garden with BBQ equipment and chiminea, we've got it covered for the perfect break!
THE COW SHED
Exclusively available to residents of Moo House, there is the opportunity to use the newly renovated Cow Shed, which adjoins the garden of Moo House - a perfect games room/ chill out zone....complete with pool table and table football/air hockey, sofas, music and books.
Guests can use the Cow Shed as a games room, garden room or somewhere to escape to for a bit of quiet TV watching or book reading. There is a TV/DVD/CD player with a great selection of CDs and DVDs to satisfy everyone's tastes!

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS
'Just wanted to say a great big thank you from myself and my family for the lovely week we spent at Moo House.
I can't think of a thing we would've changed about it - even with a couple of days of rainy weather the children were more than happy to 'hang' in the cow shed; we all had a great time. Thanks again, and here's wishing you all success with the new property, we're definitely hoping to come back again'.....Judie Peacock, Durham, August 2006
' The Cow Shed made the holiday! What a superb facility. When I saw the full size pool table and the table football, I thought all my Christmases had come at once! The children couldn't believe their eyes! The house is beautiful, we all loved the large bath and spent many evenings round the table in the gorgeous kitchen, drinking wine, admiring the view and planning our next trip to Tughall'.......Andy Smithson, London, Oct 2006
