A charming, Grade II listed period cottage with a pretty, fully enclosed garden with the River Tweed and the stunning beaches of the Northumberland coast on the doorstep and distant views of the Cheviot Hills.

Inside, the pretty interior is presented in contemporary cottage style with interesting antique items and original artworks alongside Farrow and Ball paint colours, designer linen fabrics and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom. There’s a log fire (logs are provided), Wi-Fi, TV with Freeview and DVD player, games and books. The kitchen is compact but well equipped and includes ample cookware and cookery books for keen cooks!

Guests have use of the superb original wood-panelled billiard room in the owner’s house complete with a full size billiard table along with air hockey. This is shared with another holiday cottage in the grounds on a first come, first served basis.

The two individually-styled bedrooms are beautifully presented with muted paint colours, superb bespoke linen curtains and fabulous cashmere and wool throws. To ensure a restful night’s sleep, good quality beds with pocket sprung memory foam mattresses are made up with high quality Egyptian cotton bed linen, feather and duck down duvets and pillows and toiletries are provided.

The Gate House sits in a pretty, fully-enclosed garden overlooking paddocks. Guests are welcome to explore the wider grounds which run down to the river and a network of excellent walks. A particular highlight is the short walk to Scotland over the superb Union Bridge, 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.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together this cottage can be booked alongside Steward's House, sleeping 8. The properties are a short distance from each other.

FISHING ON SITE

Trout fishing is included at no extra cost on a small stretch of the Tweed. Please note that it is about a ten minute walk to the river. Norham Angling Association permits can be purchased for more extensive trout fishing. For those looking to book salmon 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.

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.

The Little Things We Love

The contemporary cottage style with interesting antique items and original artworks.

Don't take our word for it...

What a lovely place to stay; there was everything you needed, it was very comfortable, and the beds were so comfortable. Lovely and warm with a fab log fire, we will definitely use it again.
Mr Warcup, 28th January 2025

Don't take our word for it...

Another lovely stay at The Gate House. Feels like a home from home. We feel we can really relax and enjoy our time in Northumberland. It is nice to have a secure garden for the dogs. It was good that the Fishers Arms was open, the first time we have been able to walk up the road, a smallish menu but reasonably priced nice atmosphere and friendly service, an enjoyable meal. We visited the various beaches, Chestwick and Cocklawburn being our favourites -the latter visited after dark for a moonlit walk. We bought Oysters from Linsdisfarne Oysters, and fish from Eyemouth. This year we were able to cross the Chain Bridge and visit Paxton House.

Don't take our word for it...

We had an absolutely fabulous holiday at The Gate House and cannot speak more highly of it and the most helpful, lovely owners. The beds were astonishingly comfortable, the house filled with all the thoughtful things that make a stay feel like home from home and we didn't want to leave. It was so well positioned for exploring the area with tons of great walks from the door or easy drives to nearby attractions. The property suited us down to the ground with lovely rooms, open fire, and brilliant back garden, completely enclosed and secure for the dog. Perfect. We'll definitely think of booking again.

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely stay at The Gate House. We find the cottage very comfortable with a lovely garden with which to enjoy peace and quiet. We particularly like walking our dog Peggy by the Tweed and on Cheswick beach which is glorious at this time of year. Berwick upon Tweed has a good Deli called ‘Deyns’. Thank you for your welcome provisions pack which we really enjoyed.
Mr & Mrs Horner, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a wonderful time at The Gate House...the cottage was perfect, warm & comfortable and in a great spot for exploring both the Scottish Borders & the Coast - our sixth visit to Northumberland but the first staying so far North, so lovely to visit 'new' places as well as some 'old favourites'. Also our first time with Crabtree & Crabtree but hopefully not our last - all your properties look wonderful.
Mr & Mrs Williams, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

The cottage was outstandingly comfortable and spotlessly clean. And we really appreciated the welcome pack... especially the fizz! Very appropriate for our wedding anniversary. The location is wonderful: we had walks from the door along the Tweed and could easily get to the coast and up into the Cheviots. Fab. Thanks... it made our 30th Wedding Anniversary special and, after all the cancelled plans and uncertainty of this year, that was quite something.
Mrs Watson, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a wonderful week. The cottage is delightful and very well equipped. The owners were concerned about the heat and very kindly brought us sheets for the bed instead of a duvet. We had a great walk around St Abbs Nature Reserve and found a lovely cafe in the harbour in st Abbs to eat. Just a wonderful peaceful place to stay and a nice walk to Honey farm for tea and cakes was excellent!
Mr & Mrs Young, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

Just a note to say thank you for a wonderful stay at The Gate House. A beautiful cottage with everything you could need, so peaceful and cosy and a wonderful welcome pack. The honey and daffodils were so thoughtful! The dogs loved it too, with excellent walks from the door. Nice to receive a welcome text from the owner so I knew they were on hand if needed. And thanks to Crabtree & Crabtree for making the booking process so easy, with a personal service.
