A substantial, impeccably renovated family home on the Northumberland coast, close to the mysterious Holy Island of Lindisfarne

When gathering at Brockmill Farmhouse for a coastal escape, large parties of families or friends will also find luxury, amenities aplenty, style and space, so much space.

Once serving as the mill farm for the now ruined Haggerston Castle, this 18th-century house has recently undergone extensive renovation. Taking great care to retain the original character of this handsome home, original features including sash windows with snug-fitting wooden shutters, high ceilings and large stone inglenook fireplaces have been meticulously restored and now sit alongside upmarket furnishings, and stylish paintwork. Homely and grand they strike the perfect – and hard to achieve – balance between cosy, contemporary and traditional.

The numerous areas in which guests may gather or — and we’re thinking of space-loving teenagers here — segregate have also undergone extensive renovation. That includes a devoted cinema room, fitted with blackout blinds, a 75-inch, surround-sound Smart TV and even LED ceiling lights; a bar area where you can clink cocktails on stool chairs; and a games room whose full-size snooker table, console-supporting TV, football and dartboard options all vie for attention.

Also on the ground floor is a large dining kitchen (seating 14), featuring numerous appliances – such as a rangemaster electric cooker, American-style fridge-freezer, built-in wine cooler and Nespresso machine – where family and friends will no doubt congregate to rustle up something for supper over a bottle of wine. Though you may prefer to enjoy your evening aperitif in the large, light-filled sitting room, where bi-fold doors open out onto the garden. Completing the ground floor, there’s a warm utility room where dogs can sleep and a cosy, stove-heated snug for reading or card-playing.

You’ll find all of the bedrooms upstairs. A dozen steep steps lead from the sitting room to two super-king-sized chambers that can also feature twin single beds on request; these share a lovely family shower room. Another, shallower staircase connects the entrance hall to a pair of characterful super-king rooms (one with en-suite shower room) which can each have a child’s daybed added on request, a two-bunk room and a big bathroom whose slipper tub allows for sumptuous soaks. Accessed via low-ceilinged steps and featuring two super-king or twin bedrooms, the second floor suits adults or teens keen on some seclusion. In total, 14 adults and two additional children can be accommodated.

Brockmill Farmhouse is just as impressive on the outside, with its large, south-facing lawn garden offering giant chess, giant Jenga and croquet. There’s also a pretty patio, edged with rose bushes around two large tables and a barbecue, which is a lovely spot for al-fresco dining on sunny days.

The Garden is enclosed whenever the farm gate and iron driveway gate are shut. And while occasional cars may pass by, bound for the neighbouring cottages and farm or a five-pitch caravan site, you should expect ample doses of rural quiet amid this picturesque coastal corner. As such, it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled for passing deer, hares or barn owls in the surrounding fields.

With Holy Island and its transient causeway on the doorstep, it’s a short five-minute drive or 35-minute walk across to Lindisfarne, although you’ll need to pay attention to the ever-changing tides. Also close by is the excellent Barn at Beal restaurant, while Cheswick Sands beach and bewitching Bamburgh Castle are less than ten miles away.

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

With a spacious sun-trap garden, games room, cinema room and ample social space through the house, we hope to have created the perfect base for a family holiday - whatever time of year you visit.

Don't take our word for it...

Brockmill Farmhouse is absolutely stunning; it's spotless and so comfortable, and everything that you need is there. The beds are also so comfortable, and it's a lovely warm house with a beautiful kitchen, cosy sitting rooms, brilliant cinema room and fabulous bar. The games room was amazing, and we were provided with a beautiful welcome hamper. We will definitely be going back there. We had an amazing time, and it was lovely speaking to the owner
Mrs Walker, 13th February 2025

Don't take our word for it...

Thank you so much for making such a perfect place to stay. The warm welcome of a hamper, wood ready for the fires and the house warm and cosy was such a treat. We get together once a year and have done so for 20 plus years now. This wins hands down as the nicest place we have stayed. The attention to detail, comfort and entertainment has made for a wonderful week. Thank you!
Ms Smith, 14th January 2025

Don't take our word for it...

The Farmhouse is perfect for large family gatherings; wonderful kitchen, great spaces for socialising and with the full size snooker table in the games room and the cinema room, there is something for everyone.
Ms Smith, 11th January 2025

Don't take our word for it...

A beautiful house in a lovely quiet setting. We loved the cinema room and the games room was fab, we were kept entertained the entire weekend. It also had a well equipped kitchen with everything you needed and beautiful comfortable bedroom. We have all had a fantastic weekend and will return.
Mr Mckenna, 6th December 2024

Don't take our word for it...

A wonderful October break in a beautiful house in a superb location. It is so well equipped and has such comfy beds. There is lots of inter-generational fun in the games room, and the weather has been kind, allowing us to spend lovely evenings in the garden. The bar hasn't gone unused, either! Thank you from all of us.
McCann Family, 22nd October 2024

Don't take our word for it...

Wonderful place, very comfortable. A great place to spend a long family weekend. We stayed here many years ago when it was a B&B. The transformation is incredible - well done and thanks to the owners especially for the lovely hamper. Perhaps the best testimonial is from the great-grandchildren - "can we live here forever?
Mr Rigall, 1st August 2024

Don't take our word for it...

What a fantastic house for a family gathering. We have had the best time, the house worked perfectly for us all! Thank you to the owners everything in the house was perfect and the property is very well equipped. We could have stayed here forever, hopefully we can return in future.
Petit party, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a fabulous weekend booked to celebrate a fortieth birthday. The house is beautiful and special thanks to the housekeeper for the absolutely immaculate and spotlessly clean house! The games room and cinema room were well used by all ages. Everything is furnished to the highest of standards, with beautiful bedding, and a kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need, which was great for us as we cooked all our meals here; no need to go out at all, we had everything we needed. The property is also well-suited for visiting Holy Island, Berwick and Seahouses. The weather was good and we all had a wonderful time. We will definitely return in the future.
