Charles and Dee moved to Southlands in 1988 and have worked hard to develop and enhance the farm ever since.
The farm is located in the center of Gunnerton, a lovely little village nestled deep in the middle of Nothumberland.
The 38 acre smallholding was in need of renovation and over 30 years has seen gardens emerge, the farmhouse expanded, hedges replaced and plantations grown to encourage the wildlife back and finally the cottages created so guests can enjoy this oasis also.
Work began on restoring the barns into self catering cottages in 2006 and we welcomed our first guests in 2007.

A beautiful appointed and extremely comfortable cottage with all you could need - including fresh flowers and a bottle of wine with starter provisions!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with good walks on the doorstep.
We have all had a MARVELOUS time, an hours drive away, but a 'world' away.
The cottage is superb, containing everything we could possibly need.
The farm, the gardens, the animals, all a wonderful experience.
The peace and quiet, the unexpected lovely weather all added to our joy.
However, our biggest and most heartfelt thanks go to Charles and Dee for their kindness and generosity.
