The Granary is a one bedroom, ‘upside-down house’ located at West Moneylaws just outside Cornhill-on-Tweed on the English side of Border Country. With quiet countryside surrounding you, yet just minutes from Berwick, this is the ideal place to go to get away from it all, or use as a base to explore the attractions and sites of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.
The front door is right the front of the property, given this is an ‘upside down house’ this door makes the loading and unloading of luggage straight into the bedroom as easy as possible. The double bedroom enjoys a kingsize bed and the bathroom with a luxury style suite and larger shower is located off the bedroom. In addition to the bedroom entrance there is a more formal entry to the side. The main living space can also be accessed from the side of the building by stairs. The open plan space has a wood burner and yet has a real contemporary feel about it. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare and enjoy meals before or after your Northumberland adventures. There is a private patio which is perfect for summer nights and the surrounding area is ideal for walks. Why not arrange to take the owners alpacas for a trek round the grounds? Don’t forget the selfie!
One of the real bonus features of this property is the location. With Berwick nearby you may be surprised that you can be in either Edinburgh or Newcastle for a day in the city in just over an hour by car. The beaches in Berwick and the gorgeous long stretch of blonde sand at Goswick are recommended for walks as is Holy Island and nearby Bamburgh, just remember to check the tide times and don’t get caught out at the causeway on Holy Island!
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 6 guests.
