Northumberland is known for its white sandy beaches, historic castles, and unspoiled countryside.

Set in around two acres and surrounded by peaceful countryside, this unique property combines a thriving luxury glamping business with a charming three-bedroom home – the perfect setup for an owner or manager seeking a balance of income, lifestyle, adventure and a wonderful place to live.

Doxford Farm Camping
This is glamping at its finest, with huge potential to grow. The business comprises five high-specification glamping pods, each one thoughtfully designed and perfectly placed to offer guests privacy and views. Underfloor heating, well-equipped kitchens, sleek bathrooms and private decked terraces create a boutique hotel feel in the heart of nature. Whether it’s couples seeking a romantic hideaway or families looking for their next adventure, the accommodation delivers style, comfort and a true sense of escape. Families will love the space and thoughtful touches like bunk beds for the kids. Couples can relax in their romantic retreats, featuring a freestanding bathtub in the bedroom and one has a private hot tub for that extra indulgence under the stars.

The site also includes pitches for four bell tents and seven caravan pitches with electric hook-ups. For campers, there are three modern shower rooms and washing-up facilities – all maintained to a high standard. With planning scope for three additional pods, there’s exciting potential to increase revenue and grow the business.

With many wedding venues in the area, such as Doxford Barns, Doxford Hall, Charlton Hall, Newton Hall and Embleton Hall, there is considerable opportunity to provide accommodation for wedding guests.

The set-up is also ideal for families and couples to take a break, relax and enjoy all that Northumberland has to offer.
