The Coach House

About this property

Cornhill-on-Tweed 3.8 miles. Nestled in Northumberland’s countryside in the charming village of Crookham near Cornhill-on-Tweed is The Coach House. Recognised as the oldest unfortified building in Northumberland, this wonderful holiday home benefits from an array of characterful features paying homage to its vivid history, including original stone flooring, gothic windows, Grade II listed staircase and doors and exposed beams and a wonderful setting close to Northumberland National Park and the Scottish Borders; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to explore the North with three of their beloved canine companions. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and unwind on the plush sofas in the sitting room while the gentle crackle of the open fire warms the room. Later, head into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals for the whole family that can be enjoyed as a group around the dining table. Step outside to admire the last of the sun on the patio or to burn off the last of your dog's energy in the two acres of paddocks. When the evening draws to a close head inside to wash off the day in either the ground-floor shower room or the first-floor bathroom before retiring to one of five well-appointed bedrooms; choose from a king-size with en-suite, two king-sizes and two ground-floor king-sizes. Whisk away your loved ones for an unforgettable getaway at The Coach House.

Northumberland's northernmost village, Cornhill-on-Tweed, is situated close to the coastal cities of Coldstream and Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Scottish border. The tranquilly and breath-taking beauty of the surrounding countryside make it a popular destination for hikers, bikers, and golfers, while the River Tweed draws many anglers. The Collingwood Arms, a country inn renowned for its excellent beer and food, and a post office/shop that stocks most essentials, characterise the town. The Heritage Coast of Northumberland is easily accessible from Cornhill and features historic castles, miles of beautiful sandy beaches with views of the North Sea, and an abundance of flora and fauna in the dunes. Visitors can easily explore the area's rich history by driving to Alnwick to see the Norman Castle, garden, and unique poison garden. From Cornhill-on-Tweed, you can travel to the Scottish Borders and Northumberland with ease.
