The Bothy at Cheswick
A bijou stone cottage that’s a short hop from the golden expanse of Cheswick Sands.
The Bothy is one of a small cluster of traditional Northumberland stone cottages overlooking the sand dunes that back the celebrated Cheswick Sands. It is the perfect spot for romantics to go for country walks, enjoy sunset strolls on the beach and relax by the wood burner.
Recognised as one of the finest beaches in northern England, Cheswick Sands is under ten minutes’ walk from the Bothy. With postcard-perfect golden sands stretching all the way to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the celebrated beach offers hard-to-beat panoramic views and serves as a playground for families, dog walkers, kite-surfers and sand-yachters.
For active couples, a cobweb of footpaths stretch out from the front door, inviting hikers to explore the surrounding rural landscapes, while the 192-mile-long Coast & Castles Cycles route, just a short pedal from the Bothy, presents bikers with the opportunity to wind their way up and down this stretch of coastline.
After action-packed days exploring the beach and surrounding countryside, guests can rustle up a meal in the compact yet well-appointed kitchen, kick back by the timber-framed wood-burner in the cosy open-plan sitting and dining room and simply enjoy the peace, quiet and good company.

Location
The cottage sits next to many close visitor attractions with local services nearby, including the wonderful Barn at Beal, which sits 5 miles from the property for lingering lunches savouring the catch-of-the-day or informal evening dining.
More extensive amenities can be found in the Elizabethan walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed (7 miles) which has a mix of high street and independent shopping, as well as two large supermarkets, a Marks & Spencers food outlet and a good selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants, including The Maltings, a vibrant theatre and arts venue for an evening of entertainment.
Head a little further down the coast to the very picturesque village of Bamburgh where you can enjoy fantastic seafood at The Potted Lobster, or the Victoria Hotel if you like great pub food and a cosy chat next to the fire.
The town is also served by the main East Coast rail line with regular services to Edinburgh and Newcastle for a city day out.
