An ideal base for exploring Northumberland or just relaxing, this tastefully renovated stone built cottage sits on a peaceful site with open views of the beautiful countryside of the Till valley. Whether you want to walk, cycle, explore the border towns, castles or beaches or simply slow down and soak up the atmosphere, you will find that our cottage is centrally located, allowing you as much variety as you wish. The cottage has been in the family for some time but has undergone a total renovation (June 2015), giving it modern comforts whist keeping the period feel of the property. Each of the three bedrooms features an original cast iron fireplace, and the open fire in the large sitting room provides a wonderful focus for marshmallow toasting in the evenings. Our dining area is in front of a double sash window overlooking the large, south facing, walled garden featuring mature trees. From this vantage point you can enjoy the many different bird species which are regular visitors to the garden and surrounding fields and deer are regularly spotted. You may be lucky enough to see a badger, fox or weasel and in the evenings an owl or bats. We are equipped to accommodate five guests. There is one double bedroom, a second large bedroom with zip and link beds which can be configured as two singles or one super king size bed, and a downstairs single room. We can also provide a travel cot for a sixth, younger guest and have a stone outhouse which can take up to five bicycles. Local amenities The cottage lies roughly three and a half miles from Cornhill-on-Tweed to the north or Milfield to the south, both of which have small village shops and pubs. The popular Blue Bell Inn serves lunchtime and evening meals and can be reached on foot in about 10 to 15 minutes: perhaps a little longer on the way back. Coldstream, a pleasant border town with great views over the River Tweed, is five miles away. It has a larger range of independent shops, pubs and cafes as well as a small supermarket. Kelso and Berwick-on-Tweed, both of which are well worth visiting, have large supermarkets and most things you would need. Accommodation Our large sitting room has two sofas and a reclining chair with footstool arranged around the open fire and a dining table with five chairs in front of the window, overlooking the garden. There is a Flatscreen TV with integrated DVD player, a music system and a selection of DVDs, CDs, games and books. The kitchen contains an electric cooker and hob, a washing machine, a slimline dishwasher and a microwave, as well as a good range of cooking and baking equipment. The adjoining pantry contains a fridge freezer and has ample storage space. Bedroom one – a large room overlooking the garden with zip and link beds which can be configured as a superking size or twin beds as required. It has two bedside tables, dressing table, linen closet and a large wardrobe. Bedroom two – a double bed with wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside cabinet. Bedroom three – a downstairs bedroom with single bed, chest of drawers and bedside table. Bathroom with cast iron bath, shower over the bath, original basin and wc. All bedrooms overlook the garden. Other Guest Amenities Bed linen and towels included. Hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Heating Electric heating throughout controlled by digital thermostats. An unlimited supply of coal is provided for the open fire in the sitting room. Mobile Network The mobile signal is intermittent but generally good, although networks may vary. Babies and Children A travel cot and high chair are available, as well as a higher wooden chair for younger children. Garden There is an open, walled garden in front of the property which is mainly set to lawn and a pleasant sitting area with garden furniture. Dogs At present we do not accept dogs. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Including e-cigarettes ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Bicycles - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

The owner has clearly taken trouble and answers any texts very quickly. The bedrooms, and lounge/dining area are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything but can be cold. The downstairs bathroom feels a little spartan and is approached along a corridor. That said, it was a fine stay and a very convenient location for the coast, National Park and the Scottish Borders.

It was very cosy but also spacious enough for our family of 4\. The garden isn't really accessible and WiFi would have been useful for checking places etc but on the other hand it was a bit of a wake up for our teenager! I would definitely recommended this property and the area. Just lovely. ##### Kathryn c. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul J. Sep 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic charms in a lovely rural location Not recommended for someone looking for 5 star luxury but we liked its simple rustic charms and the location. Despite it being August we got good use of the fire and even spent a rainy day in playing the games and watching one of the DVDs. Double mattress needs changing but Joanne says she’ll get a new one. Lots of things to do near(ish) by like Bamburgh beach, Holy Island, Berwick, walked into Etal over a ford, St Cuthbert’s cave. If you’re looking for a simple but well-equipped (especially the kitchen) cottage in a very rural spot, this might well be the one for you ##### Paul J.

Very comfortable and spacious with everything we needed, which made our stay with our two young children a real pleasure. We loved the quiet location, and the kids enjoyed the farm setting and all it had to offer. A short drive away to some lovely villages, and a good base for exploring Northumberland in general.

A perfect base for exploring the wonderful Northumberland countryside. The cottage is adequately stocked and is ideal for walking/cycling/running straight from the doorstep into the stunning countryside. Great for a family of five who enjoy the outdoors. ##### Sarah B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Celia H. Sep 3, 2018 #### characterful cottage in lovely rural setting Had a great family holiday week - lots of lovely things to do right from the doorstep - and loved the peace and quiet and the swifts nesting in the eaves. Spit-spot clean and neat and lovely bedroom decor and furnishings. Kitchen really well equipped - and with picnic kit too! Really good to have a decent freezer, plus a dishwasher and washing machine on holiday. Made good use of the thoughtful walking books, bird-watching guides and maps - and the games in the cupboard! Only slight disappointment (hence 4 stars rather than 5) was that the lovely photos of the garden didn't show that you access the garden by going via the rear yard, round the neighbour's cottage and through their garden, so my vision of sunny summer evening drinks and maybe eating supper in the garden didn't feel practical. (Sure they wouldn't have minded, but it felt like a bit of a trek for eating outside). Thanks for a lovely week in your cottage - and all your help in our arrival. We had a great time. ##### Celia H.

Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kieran Kilgallen K. Nov 3, 2017 #### Spacious rooms. Ideal location The photos don't do the house justice. The lounge/ diner is spacious but cosy with a roaring fire that is easy to set. The bedrooms are all excellent. Autumn walks from the door take in Ford and Etal and Flodden Field. The College Valley is very close, with a remarkable solitude for somewhere so beautiful. You can walk high or stay low, there is a huge choice of unspoilt countryside. An evening walk to the pub, across the field and through the woods became a regular for us. ##### Kieran Kilgallen K.

The cottage is comfortable, with spacious rooms and most mod cons (no wifi...). Excellent collection of OS maps for exploring. We avoided the tight parking by the cottage and parked instead \~20 yards up the lane with no problems. Pub within walking distance! ##### Tom A.

It was so homely to come back to after our days out and sit by the open fire. The location is very peaceful. We were able to cycle with the children on the very quiet roads straight from the door. It is also well located for exploring North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. We especially enjoyed going to the Bluebell Inn for great food and real ale, just a short walk over the fields behind the cottage. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah M. Feb 2, 2017 #### Lovely cottage in beautiful and quiet location. We thoroughly enjoyed our winter stay over New Year. The cottage was clean and tidy, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms.

We were pleasantly surprised with the range of games, dvds and cds available for those rainy days and cosy family evenings and a good number of maps and guide books were available for long walks and site seeing around this picturesque and peaceful part of the country. The cottage is well situated for easy access to the attractive Scottish Border towns and to Berwick-upon-Tweed , Lindisfarne and the beautiful sandy beaches and stunning coastline along the northern end of the county. We were pleased with our accommodation and its pastoral surroundings providing a peaceful and relaxing setting for our holiday. ##### janet s.

Sep 10, 2015 #### Charming holiday cottage We had a lovely stay in this characterful holiday cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and has comfortable beds and crisp linen. We found the cottage to be very well positioned for visiting all that Northumberland and the nearby Scottish Borders have to offer. We particularly enjoyed our trip to Floors Castle in Kelso, as well as visiting nearby Alnwick and the beautiful Northumberland Coast. Within a short walk there is also a pub serving great food. Highly recommended! ##### Kendra H. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave W. Jul 11, 2015 #### Perfect holiday cottage in a good location. This is a perfect holiday cottage in a good location for exploring Northumberland and the Scottish borders. It has everything you could wish for and we particularly liked the lovely white bedding and towels. It is just off the A697 but sufficiently far away from the road to be very quiet and give an excellent night’s sleep. The owner was very helpful to us and also provided lots of maps and brochures of local attractions at the cottage. We would thoroughly recommend this property. ##### Dave W.
