A large outdoor table with seating for six, and a separate table and chairs seating eight, are provided. A charcoal barbecue is available for guest use. Crookhouse is situated up a long private track at the end of a no-through road and traffic is therefore very limited. Guests are welcome to explore the Lanton Estate on which the cottages sit.
There is ample private parking available to the rear and the front of the property. Sheds can be made available for the storage of bicycles and outdoor kit.
Location
Despite Lanton’s rural location there are good local amenities nearby. The estate is seven miles from the pretty town of Wooler which offers a good range of independent shops including two excellent butchers, a very good delicatessen, several pubs and cafes and the highly rated Milan Restaurant.
Cornhill on Tweed is eight miles from the estate and offers an excellent village shop selling pies and delicious local goodies and the Collingwood Arms which has a super bar and restaurant specialising in dishes prepared using the wealth of local produce on offer. More extensive shopping including a good range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants are available at Kelso 14 miles away.
