Moo House is a recently renovated stone barn conversion at Tughall Steads, a hamlet situated on an organic coastal farm, only 5 minutes drive from the beaches of Beadnell and Newton-by-the-Sea. It is aptly named, as the building was formerly a cow byre! Often booked with one or two or all of our other 7 cottages at Tughall. Moo House receives lots of bookings and is a popular choice for large family groups and house parties!  Moo House sleeps 10/12 plus several cots, with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 shower rooms  (two beds and shower rooms on the ground floor offering good accommodation for those not wishing to use the stairs), and plenty of parking spaces.  The house is light, bright, airy and furnished and presented to an exceptionally high standard. A 5 star GOLD grade was awarded to Moo House for 2010.  With large lounge and spacious kitchen/diner, floor to ceiling windows, log burner, comfy sofas, 32" television, CD player, king size beds, courtyard garden with table and chairs, and walled garden with BBQ equipment, we've got it covered for the perfect break!

The Cow Shed

Exclusively available to residents of Moo House, there is the opportunity to use the newly renovated Cow Shed, which adjoins the garden of Moo House  - a perfect games room/ chill out zone....complete with full size pool table and table football/air hockey, sofas, music and books. Detached from the main house, guests can use the Cow Shed as a games room, garden room or somewhere to escape to for a bit of quiet TV watching or book reading. There is a TV/DVD/CD player with a great selection of CDs and DVDs to satisfy everyone's tastes!

Guest Comments

‘It brings me the greatest of pleasures to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our stay at Moo House such a wonderful, memorable one. From the moment we stepped foot into Moo House, we knew the weekend was going to be a very special one!  The lights and heating were on which made for lovely warm welcome, but better still, wine and pile of double-chocolate chip muffins were awaiting us in the kitchen! 

Moo House was everything I had hoped for and more for my Hen Weekend.  Every one of my guests thought it was wonderful, relaxing and a beautiful place to stay.  Every room felt special in it’s own right, and the kitchen was the perfect venue to host our tapas meal, courtesy of www.delicious-occasions.co.uk.  The fabulously comfy sofas were perfect when we wanted to chill out and chat, and the Cow Shed was fantastic! Never have we had so much fun playing pool whilst

listening to a friend tinkling the ivories on the electric organ – such fun.

From the beautiful decor, to the log-burner, to the fabulous corner bath, the whole package was just 10/10 perfect!  I cannot recommend you highly enough and am telling all my friends about you – infact, my friends and I are currently busy thinking up excuses for another party – expect us back soon!’

…. Annabel (Bride to be on her Hen Weekend!)

'We just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful family holiday we enjoyed last week.  Moo House was perfect for us all, adults and children alike.  Thank you for all your help, we really had a very special time, hopefully to be repeated at the earliest opportunity.'

 'Just wanted to say a great big thank you from myself and my family for the lovely week we spent at Moo House.
I can't think of a thing we would've changed about it - even with a couple of days of rainy weather the children were more than happy to 'hang' in the cow shed; we all had a great time.  Thanks again, and here's wishing you all success with the new property, we're definitely hoping to come back again'.....
Judie Peacock, Durham


' The Cow Shed made the holiday! What a superb facility. When I saw the full size pool table and the table football, I thought all my Christmases had come at once! The children couldn't believe their eyes! The house is beautiful, we all loved the large bath and spent many evenings round the table in the gorgeous kitchen, drinking wine, admiring the view and planning our next trip to Tughall'.......Andy Smithson, London
