Retreat to the blissful charm of riverside living in this fine country home sitting on a prime spot on the banks of the River Till.

With the tumbling waters of the nearby cauld breaking the silence, this private riverside abode will be a perfect retreat for some relaxation time in the company of family and friends.

This is a multi-level property with four bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across two wings. The main access leads down to the lower ground floor which opens out to a large open plan kitchen, dining area and snug. Key features here include the large bi-folding doors which open out to enjoy those idyllic riverside views, while the large Severn woodburner is a perfect spot to hunker down and get warm when the temperature starts to drop.

This leads up to the main hall and into the elegant drawing room with classic furnishings and deep sofas offering an ideal space for relaxation, entertaining or an evening sing-song around the piano perhaps!

Two bedrooms and two separate bathrooms are accessed off the main staircase, each benefitting from the south facing aspect and river views. Two further bedrooms and a bathroom sit off the immediate access hallway, one with twin beds which can be configured to a super king for added flexibility, while a sweet wood-clad double room deftly oozes that cosy cabin feel.

The garden and grounds benefit from a southerly aspect and offer extensive outdoor space for rest or play, extending up or down river with an abundance of picturesque walking trails for those looking for something a bit more energetic.

FISHING

Fishing can be arranged separately at additional cost, and it may be possible to provide a ghillie where required. Providing approximately two miles of double bank fishing on the River Till for two rods, the beat comprises a number of pools including the famous Mill Pool beside the Mill House and the Wheel Pool below Twizel Bridge. Fishing can only be let in conjunction with the letting of Twizel Mill House and there will be no other parties fishing the river independently during bookings. Please contact us for further details.

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

The wood-clad bedroom has the feel of a cosy cabin in the forest - tranquil inside and out.

Don't take our word for it...

We had an amazing break at Twizel Mill House, thank you. The house was beautifully furnished and well-stocked with everything we needed, plus the added bonus of a river in the back garden was lots of fun! We spent quite a lot of time just watching the salmon try (unsuccessfully!) to leap upstream. It was a lovely, peaceful holiday; the Mill is in such a quiet spot, yet handy for everything we wanted to see in the region, so it was perfect for us. We've just booked again for Easter, that's how much we loved it.

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely time at Twizel Mill last week. You are to be congratulated on how you have done the conversion and the standard you have achieved. An idyllic place! We want to book again for next year.

Don't take our word for it...

We very much enjoyed our stay at Twizel Mill House. We especially appreciated the peaceful location and that the house was warm in January. We also enjoyed the easy walking from the door along the river and into the surrounding countryside, and watching the local bird life. The house is in easy reach of many interesting places to visit and great local food. We hope to return to Twizel Mill one day to see it in a different season, although it was perfect for a winter break.

Don't take our word for it...

We did indeed have a wonderful time at The Twizel Mill House. It was ideally sited for the fishing on Tillmouth and some fishing on the Till. The accommodation exactly suited our 4 couples; plenty of space and amenities. We very much hope to return next year.

Lovely house and grounds. We loved seeing the kingfisher, and also the otter. There was of course a heron. Cocklawburn Beach fabulous for walking, we saw dolphins and a sea otter. Amazing walks at Ford & Etal and also Harestanes. We had everything we needed. Thank you.
