A charming, stylishly refurbished stone cottage that’s a short stroll from one of the North’s finest beaches, Cheswick Sands.

Farm Cottage’s name goes a long way to painting a picture of it: one of a clutch of traditional Northumberland stone cottages set amidst rural land outside the village of Cheswick, it’s every inch a welcoming refuge from the rugged landscape that envelops it.

A wood-burner warms the cosy open-plan sitting and dining room, the original fireplace topped by a section of an ancient pew salvaged from nearby Scremerston Church, while the lush front and rear gardens offer uninterrupted views of the surrounding fields.

Footpaths criss-cross the fields, encouraging walkers to set off directly from the cottage, which also sits a few paces off the Coast & Castles Cycle route, inviting cyclists to tackle all, or just sections of, the scenic 192-mile stretch between Newcastle and Edinburgh. Golfers will meanwhile discover Goswick Golf Club a mere five minutes’ drive away.

However, Farm Cottage’s greatest draw is arguably the fact that it’s located less than ten minutes’ walk from one of the finest beaches in northern England, Cheswick Sands. This acclaimed beach, a seemingly endless expanse of white sand dotted with black basalt rock-pools and backed by dunes, offers hard-to-beat panoramic views and serves as a playground for families, dog walkers, kite-surfers and sand-yachters. Take a stroll along the sands on a clear day and you’ll be able to look north, past the spires and lighthouse of Berwick-upon-Tweed, all the way to the Border before turning to glimpse the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to the south.

Best of all, you don’t even have to amble down to the beach from Farm Cottage to soak up the views: you can gaze upon the ocean as you sip sundowners on the terrace and contemplate the Holy Island over breakfast in bed in the master bedroom.

Farm Cottage’s owners have styled the cottage immaculately, achieving contemporary yet welcoming interiors that echo (rather than shout) its seaside setting with timber panelled bathrooms, framed seascapes in the bedrooms and local scenes by landscape artist Scott Robertson in the sitting room.

For guests looking to holiday together, East House sleeping 8+4 or The Bothy at Cheswick sleeping 2 sit a short distance away.

There is a log store with unlimited supply of logs and secure store for bicycles, golf clubs, etc. There is parking for two cars at the front of the cottage.

The walk to the beach takes approximately 8-10 minutes from Farm Cottage. This is via a single-track road leading to a small car parking area that bounds onto the sand dunes.

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

Making an early morning cuppa and strolling down to the beach to take in the morning sunrise.

Don't take our word for it...

Lovely cottage, with a cosy log burner, and comfy beds. We highly recommend it, especially as it's a short walk to the lovely beach. Perfect for our dog walks.
Mrs Horriben, 20th March 2025

Don't take our word for it...

This is our second visit to the cottage. Once again we don’t want to leave. We have had a wonderful week. We should explore but don’t actually go far, Farm cottage provides us with everything we need to relax. It’s cosy, the beds are so comfortable and it’s within walking distance of the most amazing beaches. Thank you once again.
Mrs Clark, 13th January 2025

Don't take our word for it...

The cottage is beautifully decorated, well equipped and within a 10 minute walk away from the most stunning beach which is as lovely as any beach in Barbados but a few degrees cooler! It is a very peaceful spot and we much enjoyed sitting out in the front garden drinking our coffee admiring the far reaching views which include Holy Island.

A week at Farm Cottage was one of the most comfortable weeks we’ve ever had in a holiday cottage. To say it was a home from home would do it an injustice - as it’s better than our home. Sumptuous beds, the softest of bed linen, the most comfortable of sofa - and that’s when you get inside after staying outside admiring the views long into dusk. A perfect cottage with best expansive beach in the UK literally on your doorstep. It’ll be hard to beat - but with the Scottish Borders in our sights for next year we’ll try hard to indulge ourselves again. Thanks C&C you’ve done it again 10/10.

Don't take our word for it...

We very much enjoyed our stay at Farm Cottage. It was a really well-appointed, spacious and inviting cottage to stay in. The kitchen had all the equipment that I needed to cook proper meals each evening. We LOVED the Smart TV offering us Netflix etc etc - that is a real boon on a holiday. The master bedroom was big with lovely views of the sheep-filled field on the other side of the lane. The house was very dog-friendly having completely enclosed gardens at the back and front. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and there was sun in the gardens all day. The walk to the sand dunes and beautiful beach took about ten minutes and there were other fantastic walks without having to get in the car. We loved Berwick on Tweed which was a short drive away and we also visited most of the famous beaches and castles. The housekeeper was very responsive and helpful - the one issue we had with Wi-Fi was going to be sorted on the day we left. We would go back to this cottage again for its comfort, space and location.

We stayed at Farm Cottage last month and it was delightful. Our Labradors also had an amazing time. We would definitely recommend the cottage and the area and we will be returning again.

Don't take our word for it...

We’ve just had a superb week at Farm Cottage. It’s situated very close to huge and very quiet beaches. The cottage was extremely comfortable and stylishly furnished but still suitable for 2 dogs especially as both front and back gardens were secure. We enjoyed exploring the coast within walking distance and did venture further afield to Eyemouth a working fishing port and St Abbs which is very scenic. There are plenty of places to buy food in Berwick. We would certainly recommend the Berwick Shellfish Company. We look forward to returning.
