Steward's House

A beautifully-presented period property set around a pretty private courtyard, the Steward’s House comprises the private west wing of an impressive Grade II listed country house set high on the banks of the River Tweed with superb views down river to the historic Union Bridge which links England and Scotland.

Inside, the spacious accommodation is presented in traditional country house style with antique items and original artworks. Downstairs there’s a large sitting room with log fire (logs are provided), Wi-Fi, HD TV with Freeview, DVD player and selection of DVDs along with games and books. The kitchen is well equipped and includes cookery books for keen cooks. The cloakroom and utility room provide ample storage space for outdoor kit.

Guests also have use of the superb original wood-panelled billiard room in the opposite wing of the house complete with full size billiard table along with air hockey and table football.

Upstairs the four individually-styled bedrooms are presented with muted Farrow and Ball paint colours and bespoke linen curtains. To ensure a restful night’s sleep, the beds are made up with high quality Egyptian cotton bed linen, feather and duck down duvets and pillows and Arran Arromatics toiletries are provided.

The Steward’s House is set around a fully-enclosed courtyard for guest’s private use. There is outside furniture and a gas barbecue for al fresco dining. Guests are welcome to explore the wider grounds which run down to the river and a network of excellent walks. A particular highlight is a walk to Scotland over the superb Union Bridge (currently undergoing renovation), the first of its type in the UK and the oldest of its type still in use, which links England and Scotland. From here one can explore the grounds of Paxton House or walk downstream all the way to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Upstream there’s a fabulous walk to the pretty village of Norham with some superb views along the way. The local village pub at Horncliffe is also within walking distance.

With direct access to one of the world's greatest salmon rivers on the doorstep, the Steward’s House is a perfect base for fishing parties. Trout fishing is included on the stretch of river below the house. Norham Angling Association permits can be purchased for more extensive trout fishing. The house sits above the Horncliffe beat on the English side and Tweedhill on the Scottish side but is within easy driving distance of a number of prime bottom and lower Tweed beats.

For guests looking to holiday together this property can be booked alongside The Gate House, sleeping 4. The properties are a short distance away from each other.
