The Gardens

Beauty, structure and stillness through the seasons

Described by the Daily Mail as one of the most magnificent English gardens, the gardens at Glanton Pyke sit within a 22-acre Northumberland estate, offering far-reaching, spellbinding views across meadows, woodland and distant foothills.

The gardens are designed to be experienced throughout the year. In winter, frost creates quiet silhouettes and a sense of peace and enchantment. As spring arrives, snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths bring the first colour, followed by vibrant ranunculus in mid-spring. Summer sees the gardens in full bloom, with roses, dahlias and many other flowers filling the borders and providing blooms for cutting.

The Hall is surrounded by three gardens that wrap around the house, while the Cottage has its own charming private garden. At the heart of the estate lies the walled garden, structured into a series of rooms through topiary hedges, with an Italian-style pond, vegetable beds, fruit trees and a dedicated cutting garden. Beyond the walls, the garden opens onto a wild meadow.

Woodland walks wind through the estate, offering beautiful routes to explore the landscape and foothills. Seven listed features, including a historic dog kennel and dovecote, add further character and a sense of history to the grounds.

A place of beauty in every season, the gardens at Glanton Pyke invite guests to slow down, explore and reconnect with the natural rhythm of the countryside.

Wish we were there longer! Beautiful cottage; well-equipped, clean, warm with stunning grounds. Short drive to the Bosk/Breamish valley spa and the running fox at Powburn. Will definitely book again.

Lovely cosy cottage, well equipped and very clean. A fantastic place to get away from it all. The log burner was a bonus after cold, blustery days out walking. The gardens are stunning and felt so lucky to be able to explore them, especially the walled garden.

Thank you Alice, you have a beautiful property, it was an absolute pleasure to spend time there, it is such a welcoming and comfortable place. A very pretty private garden and amazing to be allowed to walk around the walled garden and woodland.

Glanton Pyke is a truly magical home, combining splendour with warmth. Roaring fires, elegant drawing rooms and cosy bedrooms create a welcoming atmosphere. The gardens enchant year-round, with sweeping views, woodland, meadows and a secret walled garden that feels like another world. Inside, the beautiful décor, artwork and furnishings make every corner a delight, while the inviting sofas and beds ensure your stay feels like a true sanctuary and escape.

We stayed at Stable Cottage for a week of R+R after a busy few weeks and it did not disappoint . The cottage itself is beautiful and the gardens and views soothe the soul. Alice and Charles it was lovely to meet you and your dogs and thank you for making us feel so welcome. I can certainly see myself staying here again, wishing you all the best.
