A truly warm welcome awaits guests for a relaxing and informal visit to our Guest House.

After a tiring day touring our wonderful Northumberland County, return to the peace and tranquility of the Burnfoot. An idyllic setting, the house is situated just north of Rothbury, in the village of Netherton, between Thropton and Alwinton, on the edge of the National Forest and close to the 68 Pennine Walking and Cycle route. Alnwick is less than a half hours drive away as are most of the other popular sites.

Watch the local wildlife from your bedroom window and admire the wonderful views, stroll through the village of Netherton, pausing at Fish Pass, built by Lord Armstrong. Experience the magnificent night skies, where the millions of stars and constellations can be seen.

Situated in the heart of Northumberland, Burnfood Guest House is an ideal place as a base to tour this spectacular area and enjoy the convenience of the towns and the beauty of the countryside.

Whether it's a quiet weekend, activity, holiday or a family outing, you are welcome to our 250 year old friendly, family home.
