A perfect escape from it all, this quintessential country cottage with south-facing garden and pretty summerhouse is a welcoming home from home.

Set in the pretty village of Branxton surrounded by wonderfully scenic countryside, relaxation will come easily here, yet ideally placed for exploring coast and country or more active outdoor adventures.

With its white picket fence, pretty cottage garden and charming period exterior, guests can expect a lovely first impression. Step inside and the sitting room exudes character and warmth with a predominance of warm, earthy tones and Harris Tweed furnishings contrasted with buttery soft leather and a cosy wood burner.

The kitchen captures the essence of cottage living with bespoke hand built cabinetry balanced beautifully with an iconic wallpaper pattern from Victorian designer William Morris and hand-made artisan tiles. Soft grey tones in Pigeon and Cromarty from Farrow & Ball respect the integrity of the property yet offer a fresh, modern feel.

The main bedroom sits to the rear of the property with fresh cottage-style florals, while a small second bedroom with characterful book panelled wall sits off the sitting room and means there’s flexibility for friends and families too.

The cottage has a pretty, sheltered, south-facing garden and the summerhouse will be a joy for those lovely balmy evenings with a glass of wine or simply hiding away with a good book.

Head over the doorstep, and a short wander will take you down to Flodden Field, site of the infamous battle of 1513 between the Scots and the English.

Location

Located on the northern edge of Northumberland, the pretty village of Cornhill-on-Tweed is an ideal base for exploring both the North of England and South of Scotland. There's plenty to interest enthusiasts of fishing, hiking, and history, from the evocative castle ruins of nearby Norham to the banks of the salmon-filled River Tweed.

Cornhill-on-Tweed is home to a village shop, a café, and an excellent pub. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walkers and cyclists with mile upon mile of scenic trails available. The village of Coldstream, just across the River Tweed, is also on hand with a broader range of shops, galleries, and restaurants.

For day trips, the historic market towns of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Kelso are within easy reach. The hills and cliffs of the Northumberland National Park and Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are perfect for days spent exploring beautiful beaches and historic sites, while the dramatic abbeys and Reiver towers which are dotted throughout the Scottish Borders are equally fascinating.

The Little Things We Love

Enjoying a glass of wine and relaxing in the charming summerhouse on a warm summer evening.

Don't take our word for it...

Cosy and very well equipped cottage with plenty of space for as there was just the two of us plus our dog. Pretty gardens which we can imagine would be lovely to use in the warmer months and also the open fire. This was our first visit to Northumberland and the location was great to explore the Scottish Border towns, the coast and the National Park. Lots of lovely dog walks along the River Tweed and lots of stunning Castles. We enjoyed a guided walking tour to The Holy Island, sunset cruise to the Farne Islands and the charming Ford and Etal Estates. We crammed a lot into our weeks holiday and it was always lovely to return home to the Cottage to relax in the evening.

We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage so much. Everything was made with love. The interior, the little welcome basket, the very good information, and so much more. Thank you very much for all this. When we come to the Scottish Borders again we will book with Crabtree & Crabtee again. Your service is excellent and the team are very, very friendly.

We had a fabulous holiday - The Cottage was just perfect. Can't recommend Crabtree & Crabtree highly enough. We have stayed in Northumberland many times, but this was by far the best holiday, accommodation and service we have encountered.
Calladene family, 1st April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a very enjoyable few days at The Cottage. We found that it had everything we needed and was just as it looked on the website. Ted (the dog) enjoyed the garden!
Houghton-Tallamy party, 1st April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

The Cottage is a lovely small but perfectly formed place to stay. It is extremely well equipped, warm and very comfortable. The garden is a pleasant spot to sit in and the summer house really does enable guests to get the most out of the outside space in cooler weather and the evening. The wood burner is easy to use and there is a plentiful supply of wood. The village is extremely quiet and we only saw a few dog walkers (very friendly) and children (also friendly). The proximity to Flodden is wonderful and we really enjoyed a walk around the whole site learning about the fateful battle. The whole area is just brimming with history, one day we did a spectacular walk around ‘Hotspurs’ Humbleton Hill in the National Park, one of hundreds of fought over sites. We walked some of the coast and enjoyed walking over in Holy Island and loved our visit to Cragside. So The Cottage is perfectly located for both countryside and coast and a great place to kick off our boots and rest our weary feet at the end of every day.

Don't take our word for it...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. It was very comfortable, quiet, cosy and welcoming. It is situated in a lovely little village which was ideal for walking with the dog and for visits to local attractions. We met some lovely people from the village when out walking the dog who were happy to chat and advise us on things to see and do. The cottage catered for all our needs and we really appreciated the welcome pack.
Mr Webb, 1st April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

I loved the cottage. It was just perfect for me, the things I dread in a holiday property were totally absent. It was bliss and even the fire worked properly with a fabulous supply of kindling and logs. I prefer to a fire to central heating so really appreciated this. This was a new area to me and will be back to explore more. And Crabtree service 5 star as always, rarely book with any other holiday company now.
Mrs Mackay, 1st April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

What an enchanting cottage! It is snug and tucked-away and cosy, but also clean, modern and with every possible amenity. We spent a lovely ten days here, going out to enjoy the scenery and the coast during the day and coming back home to spend our time in front of the fire in the evenings. Highly recommended!
