Granary View, Brockmill Farm
Set within the steading of Brockmill Farm, which once served the now-ruined Haggerston Castle a mile to the north, Granary View is dreamily convenient in various ways.
First is the location: this semi-detached cottage lies just a short drive or cycle ride from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and its vanishing causeway. Also within easy reach are golden-sand beaches such as Cheswick Sands, while bewitching Bamburgh Castle soars on its crag less than ten miles to the south. The A1 passes nearby, as well, making it easy to explore more of Northumberland’s coast.
Then there’s the set-up. You’ll find three bedrooms — all of which can be twin-bedded on request, suiting children or friends — and three en-suite bathrooms, including one especially-airy pair on the ground floor to ensure that anyone of limited mobility can stay. Two dogs are also welcome.
Once a row of mill workers' cottages, the original stone building has been given a stylish refurbishment bringing the addition of black-frame windows, open-plan interiors and quality fabrics. Space abounds, causing a faintly minimalist feel.
You’ll enter into the superbly-equipped kitchen, where grey-green cabinetry surrounds an extendable dining table. This flows into the sitting room and its two chunky, forest-green sofas, its 55-inch Smart TV and its inglenook log burner. The latter, in league with luxurious underfloor heating throughout this floor, means you’ll be perfectly cosy in here after dark; full-length windows, meanwhile, provide uplifting brightness by day.
Patio doors lead to an outdoor dining table and the south-facing lawned garden about which kids might tear. A charcoal barbecue and outdoor lighting further enable al-fresco meals in the faintly salty air. Although Mill Cottage is next door, fencing divides the properties to ensure total privacy.
Sprawling snugly in the eaves, both upstairs bedrooms feature a series of Velux windows, additional seating and gorgeously-tiled en-suites. One of those includes a soaking tub, accompanying the superb showers found in all three bathrooms.
ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION
For guests looking to holiday together but enjoy their own space, Granary View will be available to book in conjunction with the adjoining Mill Cottage sleeping four, and nearby Brockmill Farmhouse sleeping 16 (2 minutes' walk door to 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.
