A cosy hideaway for up to four guests, this tranquil retreat is surrounded by countryside and is a perfect base for couples and smaller families keen to explore Northumberland’s breathtaking scenery, thriving market towns and glorious beaches. The stunning Goswick Sands (4.5 miles) is home to a popular golf course and a glorious sandy beach with opportunities to spot a 19th-century shipwreck at low tide. The historic island of Lindisfarne/Holy Island is also accessible across the causeway (8 miles) with its ancient castle, fascinating heritage centre, peaceful beaches and bird-watching stations. Back on the mainland, you can head north to the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed (7.5 miles), close to the Scottish border. With plenty of great pubs, shops and restaurants, Berwick is also home to an array of beautiful beaches and historic sites. Also nearby are Bamburgh Castle, Norham Castle and Paxton House, all within 16 miles.
Part of a row of former farm cottages situated in a small hamlet within easy reach of the A1, this inviting retreat has been thoughtfully updated and tastefully furnished, offering fantastic views towards the Cheviot Hills. Inside, the porch offers space to store walking boots and coats before you head through to the fully equipped kitchen with a dining area. The ground floor also has a snug, stylishly arranged lounge with terracotta floor tiling, ample seating, a Smart TV and a cosy wood burner in the original stone fireplace. Upstairs, there are two relaxing bedrooms: a double with views of the Cheviots, and a lovely twin looking out towards the coast. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC.
From the lounge, French doors lead to a charming patio area with outdoor furniture, making a delightful spot for a morning coffee, a BBQ or a drink in the evening as you gaze into the Dark Skies. A gate opens onto a fully enclosed lawned garden. Off-road parking is available for one cars within 10 meters of the cottage.
