Perfectly placed between the Northumbrian coast and the Cheviot Hills, this characterful Grade II-listed barn conversion surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds is the ultimate romantic couple’s retreat.

Brimming with enchanting original features, including slate floors, high ceilings and original beams, the rustic country cottage kitchen/diner that welcomes you will inspire you to get creative with your new local flavours. Benefiting from more exposed beams and a pitched ceiling, as well as a roaring wood burner which adds warmth and charm, the adjoining lounge beckons you to sit back and relax. Local artwork throughout the cottage lends a distinct sense of place and embraces your stunning local surroundings. The peaceful double bedroom, a step up from the lounge, offers a haven of serenity to retire to before kick-starting your next adventure with an invigorating soak in the contemporary bathroom. The lawned garden with a pretty patio is a real suntrap, perfect for dining alfresco whilst watching the birds; the wider grounds offer some lovely seating areas to enjoy. Private parking for one car is available on-site.

This scenic spot on the fringes of Lowick (3.5 miles) is perfect for exploring the golden sands and striking castle of Holy Island, accessible by the causeway 7 miles from the doorstep. Keen walkers and cyclists can explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Cheviot Hills (19.5 miles), or within 1 mile of the cottage, the Kyloe Woods and Holburn Moss. At the foot of the Cheviot Hills, Wooler (7.5 miles) has a plentiful selection of local shops, pubs and eateries, along with some historic churches and buildings. Take a step back in time by perusing the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed (12.5 miles), boasting quaint alleyways, hidden courtyards and medieval remains.
