Tucked away in a tiny farm hamlet in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside, this idyllic rural cottage offers a treasured escape from it all. From down-time enjoying the simple joy of nature to active beach adventures, this area really has it all.

Echoing the soft tones of the surrounding area, this pretty cottage with its red pantile roof has an easy country style, with nudges of contrasting colour and a cosy scattering of cushions and layered throws for homely comfort.

The porch is a lovely spot to catch the morning rays, leading into a large open plan kitchen and dining area with plenty of space for cosy seasonal suppers or family get-togethers. Those in need of a little ‘me time’, will find it hard to resist pulling the rocking chair in front of the large wood burner and settling down in front of the dancing flames of a real fire.

The sitting room and bedrooms are all bright and sunny, enjoying views over the south facing garden, a serene and tranquil spot for sitting back and enjoying a bit of the good life while rustling up a perfect G&T from the garden tiki hut!

If active in the great outdoors is more your thing, the area has a huge amount to offer with everything from stomps across the vast beauty of the National Park, to biking, surfing and watersports on the glorious Northumberland coast.

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.

The Little Things We Love

The garden is such an idyllic spot - the twitter of bird life and the nearby trickle of the Berry Burn is incredibly relaxing.

Don't take our word for it...

Had a lovely week in this very comfortable cottage. Great location from which to explore Northumberland and the Borders. Lovely meal at the Black Bull at Lowick.
Harrison family, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

Despite such cold weather we had a lovely time and the cottage and log fires were great, the location was super and we will definitely return to the area again. The cottage was bright, spacious and tidy on arrival.
Baggupsley family, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely stay at Berryburn. The cottage and garden were just as we expected and hoped for from the photographs. It was extremely clean and airy with everything we needed. Very peaceful but with easy access to several little villages. Enjoyed visits to Ford and Etal Estates, Cheswick Sands and a lovely river walk in Norham. The owners were very nice and were available if required but very unobtrusive. The service from Crabtree and Crabtree was perfect as always, makes it difficult to book with anyone else!
Mrs Stevens, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had an absolutely incredible stay, thank you. The cottage was immaculate and clearly well looked after, and the garden was just perfect for the two dogs. It was the ideal getaway to forget everything that is going on in the world! We also met the owner too who made us feel really welcome. Would definitely recommend to others and we are already planning our return visit to the cottage!

The owners were very helpful, we had a lovely stay at Berryburn cottage, very private garden beautiful location and very handy for all of the sights. Cheswick beach is stunning and just three miles away. The cottage was lovely and very clean and the bed and bed linen immaculate. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

We had an extremely comfortable stay in Berryburn Cottage. It is wonderfully quiet, the beds are comfortable, the water is hot and the heating works very well. The cottage is well and attractively equipped with charming china and delightful original art on the walls. Our hosts provided a most generous welcome hamper including the wonderfully delicious local Heatherslaw Mill muesli and Northern Edge coffee. We loaded up on both before returning home.
Mr & Mrs Riddell-Carre, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a wonderful week at Berryburn Cottage, the weather was amazing so we managed to get out everyday. The house and gardens were lovely and we would definitely come again.
Mr & Mrs Kershaw, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We really enjoyed our very peaceful stay at Berryburn Cottage, it was my wife’s 70th birthday on the Sunday. The cottage is in a very quiet rural location, we noticed on the website the nearby farm buildings but they were not in working use and the road in the photos only leads to the owners’ house some distance away and a dead end. We enjoyed our meal at the nearby inn in Lowick on the first night so much that we visited it 3 times in the week! Booking through Crabtree & Crabtree was very easy and you have a great choice of properties, this is our second booking with them and we will certainly book again.
