Sunwick Cottage
This immaculate three-bedroom cottage is ideal for families and couples, with the added bonus of accepting up to three dogs too.
Sunwick Cottage strikes the balance between being smartly contemporary and yet snugly, warmly comfortable. Take its main, open-plan living space: the inky-blue kitchen, pale wood dining table, rattan sofa and charcoal French window doors all catch one’s eye, yet also work seamlessly together.
Virtually every wall in this immaculate home is a bright white hue creating a permanent sense of space and airiness. This is further enhanced by the open- plan living and sitting room where large French doors lead directly out to the south-facing garden.
There are three bedrooms too, all with crisp high-quality linens, and a bathroom on each floor. One bedroom is downstairs, suiting anyone of limited mobility, or night owls watching some late TV. The second bedroom on the first floor contains a charming window-side dressing table, looking out to green-yellow farm fields and hedgerows beyond, while the last has fixed twin beds, a charming rocking horse for toddlers, and a full-size cot for babies.
There’s also a safely enclosed, grassy rear garden complete with more countryside views and comfortable outdoor furniture where you can settle down with a book to enjoy the mid-afternoon sunshine or sip an aperitif before dinner.
Sunwick Cottage is very well placed. Despite its rural peace, you’re less than 15 minutes’ drive from Berwick-upon-Tweed’s castle ruins, art galleries, independent shops and the Maltings Theatre. Even closer is Paxton House, a grand Palladian mansion where visitors can admire paintings from Scotland’s national collection or take a leisurely boat ride past the impressive Union Bridge — crossing the River Tweed into England.
Either side of Berwick you’ll delight at the fantastic sandy beaches, and it’s not far at all to mystical Holy Island, where you might easily spend a heavenly day or two.

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.
