Brunton House and Cottages

08/09/2026

A fascinating event is being held here this time next year.

The Fallodon Festival will take place on 11/12 September 2027 to raise funds for and awareness of The National Garden Scheme. Millions have been raised for nursing and health charities and the NGS is celebrating its centenary year in 2027.

Fallodon Hall was opened by Sir Edward Grey in 1927, and in the light of his political and naturalist interests, with a hint of history and in recognition of the nursing charity he was originally supporting we have gathered a superb collection of speakers.
Please keep your eye on the NGS website next year to see when tickets will be available.

A quick change around in the sitting room at Brunton House to pull together the new wallpaper, with our existing furniture and accessories.

It is a day that feels spring-like with warmth and sun, so we were in a spring-cleaning mood.

Pooky lampshades and Sofa.com - Handmade to order furniture furniture have stood the test of time while we have built up Brunton House and cottages. We opened Brunton House in April 2013 and always aim to keep up the highest standards and finest hoovering.

September days are so beautiful still at Brunton, with colour aplenty.

Brunton can inspire anyone, but when a guest is a renowned artist, with paintings being exhibited Mall Galleries, then it is becomes a series of oil paintings waiting to be captured en plain.

Tim O'Brien quietly worked with the Brunton burn for company and then the stir of the sea as he moved his easel up the coast.

It’s a joy to share his paintings and realise how beautiful this place is in paint or in plain sight.

The swimming pool blue of David Hockney isn’t often considered a Northumbrian colour, but we like to think differently.

I could never confirm which came first - the cottages or the flowers.

Our very fine beaches are often winning awards and recognition.
Today The Times and Sunday Times declared Low Newton by the Sea was the regional winner in the North of England.

Low Newton is five minutes from Brunton.

Happily our beaches are usually praised from afar because we are quite some distance from busy places.

You will always find space and have room to enjoy them in all their beauty. You don’t have to do sunrise swims to avoid the crowds - unless you want to.

Some people are really good at growing lots of veg and fruit and making things to put in the freezer or fridge. I find growing flowers and putting them in the fridge isn’t so good at mealtimes but does make me and our holiday guests very happy.
