Historic Holiday Accommodation
An 18th century stone built, single storey, detached building in the pretty village of Beltingham.
This 2 bedroom cottage was originally the Joiners / Wheelwrights Shop for Ridley Hall, home to the Bowes Lyon family.
In the 19th century all the cottages in the village housed staff for the family and the grand Georgian Beltingham House was the dower house. The village churchyard at St Cuthbert’s Church has a private Bowes Lyon cemetery, a commemorative tree planted by the late Queen’s Mother and ancient Yew trees which are believed to pre date the church with pagan origins.
The Joiners Shop is tucked neatly behind a courtyard wall accessed via a gravel lane with its own ample, on site parking and private outside space
Sleeps 4.
Dog friendly.
Close to Hadrian’s Wall.
The Joiners Shop
Built in the early to mid 18th century, The Joiner’s Shop was originally one of four cottages to the rear of the old Bastle house in Beltingham village and served as the wheelwright and joiner’s workshop for the local estate of Ridley Hall, Northumberland….owned by the Bowes Lyon family in the 19th century.
The courtyard wall is all that remains of the other buildings, now long since demolished.
