Offering light and spacious accommodation for up to four guests, this fresh, airy and inviting hideaway is a perfect base for couples and smaller families seeking a peaceful base for exploring some breathtaking countryside in both England and Scotland. Part of a group of charming properties situated in a tranquil spot in Tillmouth Park, the bungalow lies just over a mile from the Twizel Bridge over the River Till, which leads to the River Tweed, the Scottish border and stunning walks here and in Northumberland. The picturesque village of Cornhill-on-Tweed and the charming town of Coldstream have a choice of friendly pubs and restaurants. Explore nearby Ford and Etal and Chain Bridge Honey Farm. The coast is also within easy reach, with a long, quiet beach at Goswick (14 miles) and a range of historic sites in the famous border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The accommodation is rounded off with a fully tiled shower room with underfloor heating and a walk-in wet room.

French doors lead from the main space to the enclosed garden with a charming patio and a lovely lawn, overlooked by a former dovecot.

Just returned from a wonderful week in Northumberland, staying in Drovers Cottage (first time) as we love the area (stayed in other cottages previously). The cottage was perfect for us (two adults and a dog), would feel a bit cramped with 4 adults mainly due to the kitchen area being quite compact. Beautiful secure garden for our dog and the fact tRead morehe weather was glorious was a bonus. We ate twice at the Collingwood Arms hotel, a short drive from the cottage and fig friendly. Food was amazing and very friendly staff. The little shop in Cornhill on Tweed (next door to the hotel) has everything you need but Tescos at Berwick isnt too far away. We normally holiday in the lakes but wanted a more relaxing holiday and Northumberland certainly delivered. Will definitely be back and wouldnt hesitate to stay at Drovers Cottage again. Hide

The cottage and location was great. We did found it a little difficult with the loose dogs and very friendly/vocal dog opposite. The TV (Amazon stick) worked for one evening and then didn't want to cooperate. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: We are pleased you enjoyed the cottage and location. We are sorry to hear about the dogs during your Read morestay, one of the neighbouring properties has since changed ownership and this should no longer be an issue.

Its a lovely little cottage in lovely surroundings with a long drive where you can walk the dog. The garden is compact and totally enclosed which is really helpful. Worthy of note is the fact that the other cottages are now residential and other dogs were a bit of an issue At times.
