A cosy, peaceful stay in the Northumberland countryside.Welcoming host, cottage had all we needed and the outlook was pretty and serene. Just what we had wished for.Located about 2 miles from the nearest village of Lowick and not far to drive to links north and south via the A1. Easy to reach all the highlights of the area such as Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, Amble, Berwick, Alnwick and several National Trust properties.Would recommend.

A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. We enjoyed walks in the forest and visits to the coast. The cottage is warm, comfortable and well-equipped. The garden was beautiful and we loved identifying all the birds. A perfect place for relaxing.
