The Heritage Cottage
Ideal for two guests or four, this is a real home-from-home with plenty of lovely touches which are sure to strike a chord, including a warm welcome and a hamper of local produce to ease you into holiday mode.
Your first impression will be one of lovely period charm with views across open farmland towards the Cheviot Hills and an abundance of wildlife spotting opportunities right from the cottage garden. French doors lead into an inviting open-plan living space with two bedrooms positioned on either side. The overall feel is warm and inviting combining a scheme of duck egg blue along with sunny yellows and pretty florals.
A cosy wood burner is perfect for relaxation, while artworks of Lindisfarne Castle and bird life celebrate the works of local artists and their close connection with the nearby heritage coastline. Indoor entertainment includes a flat screen TV with complimentary Netflix, use of an iPad, Google smart speaker as well as a super selection of books. The kitchen is compact but ideal for holiday living and a Nespresso machine is certain to give any coffee lovers that all important start to the day!
The cottage enjoys spectacular dark skies and is the perfect base for evenings spent stargazing. You'll also have the River Tweed only a few miles away, one of the finest salmon-fishing rivers in the country. The cottage is also ideally-positioned for exploring the Borders and North Northumberland, including the National Park and the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is only a 20 minute drive from the cottage. Edinburgh is also an easy day trip, just over an hour by car or 45 minutes on the train from nearby Berwick-upon-Tweed. The cottage has access to an EV charging point on site.
