Embracing Autumn Evenings: Wellbeing Tips and a Cosy Cottage Escape in Northumberland

Autumn has arrived, soon the landscape will be painted with golden leaves and crisp, fresh air. But along with the beauty of the season come shorter days and darker evenings. For some, this shift feels cosy and comforting; for others, it can feel heavy. The reduced daylight can affect mood and energy levels, sometimes leading to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a peaceful retreat in Northumberland, our holiday home open weekend is the perfect opportunity to explore what’s possible. From Friday, 28th March to Sunday, 30th March 2025, Barmoor Castle Country Park is inviting visitors to step inside a selection of luxury holiday homes and lodges currently available. Whether you’re drawn to the lifestyle, the homes themselves, or the stunning surroundings, this event gives you the chance to experience it all. Gates are open from 10am – 3pm.
