Beachcomber Cottage
Sitting on the glorious golden sands of Goswick, this is a place where you can avoid the crowds and enjoy relaxed beach living with plenty of warming touches when the weather draws in.
Life here moves at a calm and gentle pace with little to interrupt the day. Here your very own sandy adventure playground is just a stone’s throw away where you can enjoy unhurried days with breakfast on the beach watching soaring kite surfers, or wander never-ending sands until the sun goes down.
Sitting at the end of a no-through road, the cottage has been decorated in a fresh, nautical style with a characterful beamed sitting room with sofa bed which can accommodate an extra 2 guests, and a homely dining kitchen where you can throw another log in the wood burner and relax in cosy, coastal comfort.
The cottage has two bright, sunny bedrooms on the first floor (one super-king and one twin) where large Velux windows have been positioned to take advantage of the exceptional sea views.
To the rear of the cottage, you can reach the beach in less than a minute, and walkers and cyclists will delight at its position on the path of the Sandstone Way and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Golfers also have ample opportunity to perfect their game on the superb but testing conditions of Goswick links course which sits right next door.

Location
At the most northerly tip of Northumberland lies Berwick-upon-Tweed. A walled town on the England-Scotland border with a turbulent past, it has been captured or sacked over a dozen times throughout history. Built to keep invading Scots from entering the town, a walk along these Elizabethan walls offers spectacular views across the River Tweed estuary and Berwick’s most famous landmark, The Royal Border Bridge. Fast trains between Edinburgh and London stop at Berwick-upon-Tweed, making it an ideal place for a coastal getaway without a car.
Artist L.S. Lowry was a huge fan of Berwick and there is a specially-curated Lowry Trail to explore, the town being home to a thriving arts and cultural scene. The area also has a rich food heritage and there is something to cater for all tastes and budgets, from fish and chips – best enjoyed on the promenade – to cosy pubs and cafés.
In addition to its fascinating history and Georgian architecture, the wider area boasts mile upon mile of fantastic beaches just made for lazy picnics and outdoor adventures. Spittal beach is popular with families, while the beautiful Cocklawburn, Goswick and Cheswick beaches all sit close by. The stunning sights at Bamburgh and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne are also both less than half an hour’s drive away, as well as the pretty villages of Beal and Ancroft.
