Our Story

Victoria & John Hyslop, along with their family, run a working organic farm on the beautiful Northumberland coast, just 4 miles from the iconic Bamburgh Castle.

They are dedicated to sustainable farming, conservation, and sharing this special part of England with their guests.

In recent years, they have carefully developed three unique holiday properties across two locations — Birchwood Hall Farm and Easington Farm.

They also run Shearling Caravan Sites, offering touring caravan pitches and wild camping at Easington Farm.
