Lookout North
The Till Valley in the rural landscape of North Northumberland is an uplifting space where rolling farmland gives way to pretty villages, country pubs and meandering riverside trails.
Perfect for short breaks or longer stays, each cottage sleeps four guests giving complete flexibility for couples, families or larger groups who like the privacy of their own space but who wish to holiday together.
Subtly different, each reflects our love of open plan living, offering layouts which are spacious and sociable and bring a fresh new twist to country cottage. Subtle neutrals balanced with heritage shades and fresh ticking fabrics give a cohesive feel, while cosy relaxation spaces set around wood burners give way to light, contemporary kitchens, each enhanced by a powder grey picture window which brings the sunshine in.
Lookout North benefits from two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite), while Lookout South is a two bedroom, one bathroom cottage. Both benefit from a good-sized boot room which are perfect for wellies, outdoor kit and muddy dogs, leading out to private enclosed outdoor spaces with far reaching views and plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities.
Half an hour in one direction will take you the golden beaches of the Northumberland coast or cross the Border into Scotland where market towns, castles and grand stately homes form the rich historical tapestry of the area.

Location
The cottage sits just 4.5 miles from Cornhill-on-Tweed which has an excellent village shop selling a super selection of fresh local produce, including picnic hampers and scrummy home baking. It is also home to the highly regarded Collingwood Arms which has a pub as well as a superb restaurant for lingering lunches or fine evening dining. Alternatively, pop your wellies on and take a fifteen minute stroll over the field and woodland margins to the popular Bluebell Inn for a relaxing drink after supper.
A more extensive range of shops, pubs and cafes can be found in the quaint market town of Coldstream (6 miles) where the shopping is small and friendly with a good mix of independent outlets running the length of the High Street, including a family butchers, fruit and veg shop, bakery and small Co-op supermarket for holiday provisions. The Coldstream Gallery is a lovely spot to browse art, ceramics and jewellery by local designers; or pop into Calico Interiors for lifestyle gifts and accessories before coffee and cake at the charmingly named ‘Mad Hatter’ nearby.
A number of larger supermarkets, including a Marks & Spencers food outlet can be found in the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed (13 miles), or picturesque Kelso (15 miles) which has an excellent selection of independent shops set around a Flemish style market square.
