Nestled within the verdant landscapes of Northumberland, The Fairytale Folly stands as an enchanting treasure within the grounds of Muschamp Hall. Embodying a captivating blend of modern innovation and timeless allure, this architectural masterpiece finds its home amidst the resplendent embrace of an Italian-style garden, creating an ambience that is beguiling.
With a fusion of architectural styles that gracefully marries contemporary design with original elegance, The Folly exudes a character that is as distinctive as it is inviting. This retreat, tailored for the romantic at heart, encapsulates the essence of a perfect getaway for two souls seeking solace and connection.
As the door opens into the three-story structure, a spacious ground floor living area reveals itself. The heart of this haven lies in its fully equipped open-plan kitchen, a culinary haven that leaves no desire unfulfilled. From the oven to the hob, the microwave to the dishwasher, every need is thoughtfully anticipated. Adjacent to this culinary space is an intimate dining area for two, seamlessly leading to the outdoor Italian garden. Here, a private seating enclave awaits, offering a front-row seat to the pageantry of the natural surroundings.
Ascending to the first floor, guests are greeted by the sanctuary of the master bedroom. An intimate expanse of space suffused with charm, this chamber is an ode to comfort and serenity. Yet, it is the second floor that truly captures the essence of The Folly's personality. A balcony, suspended as if in a dream, extends over the Italian Garden's beauty.
Ascending yet again, a stairway leads to the pinnacle of this architectural gem - the bathroom. A testament to the harmonious marriage of old-world elegance and contemporary design, this space is adorned with a freestanding bath, standing harmoniously alongside a separate shower, toilet, and wash basin. However, it is the crowning glory of the room that steals the show: a glass casing that houses the inner workings of a clock face, a poignant homage to the building's historic roots.
The Fairytale Folly, cocooned in nature, is more than a retreat; it is a story, a testament to the enduring romance between architecture and nature. In every nook and cranny, the whispers of the past dance in harmony with the present, offering a haven for a romantic escape!

Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Northumberland
Welcome to Northumberland, the land where history, nature and charm collide to offer a holiday of your dreams. You can escape to one of our fabulous properties, ready to dive headfirst into a treasure trove of ancient marvels and unspoiled beauty. Trust us, Northumberland is not your average destination, it is a blockbuster adventure waiting to happen!
First up, the crown jewel of the north, Hadrian's Wall. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stretches across the county like a colossal history lesson. You can take a stroll along the wall, enjoy breathtaking views that will stay with you forever and explore forts such as Housesteads Roman Fort and Vindolanda.
The magical Alnwick Castle, aka the "Windsor of the North", is a cultural extravaganza where you will marvel at the architecture. Alnwick Garden is a world of wonder where you can get lost in beautifully landscaped grounds and pretend you are royalty for a day.
Nature lovers, rejoice! Northumberland National Park is your playground full of rolling hills, expansive moorlands and skies so dark they are a canvas for stargazing. You can hike scenic trails or become a birdwatching pro in the tranquil Cheviot Hills, the possibilities are as vast as the park itself. You will also enjoy a dose of coastal coolness on pristine beaches and dramatic cliffs. The wonderful Bamburgh Castle is perched on a rocky throne. You can take a boat tour to the Farne Islands and make friends with seabirds and seals.
Northumberland boasts a long list of charming market towns and picturesque villages. Hexham enjoys an ancient market square and the stunning Hexham Abbey. Its cobbled streets ooze nostalgia, with a blend of gorgeous Georgian and Victorian architecture. Corbridge, the quaint village along the River Tyne, is a haven for antique enthusiasts. It enjoys independent shops, galleries and quaint tea rooms where you can sip tea like it's the 1800s. Warkworth, with its medieval castle overseeing the River Coquet, is all about timeless charm. It is perfect for leisurely strolls along scenic riverbanks.
Northumberland doesn't just stay in its lane. It shares borders with vibrant cities and towns, like Newcastle upon Tyne. This dynamic metropolis, known for its cultural scene, shopping districts and the iconic Tyne Bridge, is just a stone's throw away.
Northumberland has so much to offer, from Hadrian's Wall to Bamburgh's coastal serenity. Every nook and cranny tells a unique story which you will thoroughly enjoy learning.
