About Blackton Grange Estate

Blackton Grange is an eight-bedroom luxury farmhouse set within 11 private acres in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Blending rustic character with modern comfort, it offers the privacy of a countryside retreat with the home comforts you’d expect from a high-end hotel. Guests can self-cater or elevate their stay with optional services such as private chefs and cocktail makers, while the house itself provides cosy fires, a cinema room, and a wood-fired hot tub. With the Pennine Way and countless outdoor adventures on the doorstep, the setting is as impressive as the home – perfect for relaxed escapes, celebrations, and time spent together.

Why it works for groups

Blackton Grange is the ultimate group getaway, offering plenty of fun entertainment spaces—like a cinema room, games room, and outdoor hot tub—while still being spacious enough to find your own quiet corner if needed. Additional services to elevate your stay are provided with every booking
