Bed & Breakfast at Pry House
Pry House on the southern slope of Slaley village offers a perfect retreat to explore Northumberland and the surrounding area throughout the seasons. The garden has over 80 wild flowers from Marsh Marigolds to Butterbur. Enjoy early evening next to the burn. You may see a barn owl or a wild hare.
You can simply pop out the gate and walk or cycle through dappled woods and alongside rivers and burns. One of the family’s favourite walks is through Slaley Forest across the grouse moors to the medieval village of Blanchland. Here the Lord Crewe Arms serves local ales and has a well-heeled restaurant for that special night out. If it is a spa you are after and a massage, or a more energetic game of golf, then it is less than a mile to Slaley Hall, a popular hotel and health resort.
Also within distance are the milecastles, forts and museums that dot Hadrian’s Wall, a world heritage site. Nearby Corbridge is a useful starting point. Hexham boasts a wonderful Abbey, while Durham City with its renowned castle and cathedral are a short drive away. So too is the Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest for outdoor pursuits like sailing. Cycling is a family favourite and routes abound. And there is always the River Tyne – a paradise for those casting a salmon fly.
After an unforgettable day, you can relax at Pry. There is community run pub and restaurant a field away, or if you want to slump in the comfort of the Book Room, why not order 'Abend brot' of soup, homemade bread and cheese. The wood burner takes any chill away.
Rooms
The two bedrooms have vases of wild flowers from the garden. The room facing Slaley has a king-size bed with views and a glow of natural sunlight particularly in the late afternoon, early evening. The adjoining bathroom has a walk-in Eco-smart shower with a large raindrop head and heated towel rail.
The other room captures the early light and provides a double bed with a wonderful view of the garden. However, this bedroom is only available if you are one party.
Breakfast
Pry offers locally sourced food from the village and surrounding area and is committed to providing Fairtrade products like tea and coffee. There’s porridge and homemade organic bread like French 'pain de campagne' or rye bread made daily. Local eggs from rare breeds like the Dorking, a breed brought over by the Romans, make fantastic scrambled eggs. The menu varies daily according to availability and preference. A picnic can be made up for £10 a person.
Pets
Dogs are welcome, but like our own spaniel Kes, aren’t allowed in the bedrooms. If you want to leave your dog for a morning or day, dog sitting is available locally at very reasonable prices.
