Info:
Set in mature gardens, The Old School House, Tillmouth, was built in 1867 as a school and headmaster’s residence,
providing education for children from surrounding farms and hamlets. After closing in 1965, it was sympathetically converted into a private dwelling.
The
Hodgson family have made it their home and will offer you a friendly, warm welcome. The Old School House is situated perfectly for excursions and
explorations in Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. We, as Northumbrians, are passionate about our heritage and all it has to offer, and look forward to
sharing it with you.
This is an ideal area for walks and we provide literature and other information about the many routes and destinations within the
vicinity and beyond.
Personal guided walks within Northumberland and the Borders are also available, with Noel Hodgson as your guide. Writer, poet and
historian, Noel can offer you a special insight into the area, revealing some of its ‘hidden’ treasures.
Please enquire upon booking.
