The Showman's Wagon Gunnerton, Hexham, Northumberland


Showman’s Wagon

This rare 1940s Showman’s Wagon has been meticulously restored to create a luxurious and unique holiday retreat overlooking gardens, rolling fields and the famous dark skies of Northumberland. Located near Hexham, the wagon offers a peaceful and tranquil escape in beautiful countryside surroundings.

Rich in character and comfort, the accommodation combines vintage charm with modern luxury. Original etched glass windows fill the handcrafted kitchen with natural light, while crisp linen sheets, a cosy wood-burning stove, Wi-Fi and a spacious shower room provide everything needed for a relaxing stay.

The wagon features two bedrooms, including a comfortable double bedroom at one end and a snug at the other that can be arranged as either a double or twin room, allowing accommodation for up to four guests.

Outside, guests can unwind in the beautifully paved garden surrounded by trees and flowers, creating a peaceful setting perfect for couples, families or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The property has also been thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, using renewable energy, composting, home-grown produce and support for local suppliers. The planting of one hundred trees further enhances the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Situated in an excellent location for exploring Northumberland, guests are within easy reach of stately homes, beautiful gardens, museums and historic towns. Hadrian’s Wall, one of the country’s most famous Roman landmarks, is located just a short drive away.
