Break away
Lovely cottage well equipped with everything you need, very clean throughout, lovely enclosed garden with amazing view, great for children and dogs, great get away if you just want to get away from it all the only thing I would say is you have to drive if you want to go anywhere no shops in walking distance but the beautiful views made it all worth the travelling

Perfect mini-moon
Loved our week here! Cottage was exceptionally clean, has all the basics needed for a comfortable stay and really nice quality e.g. bedding/towels/handsoaps .etc. Bed is huge and very clean and comfortable. Farm is quiet and well kept, eggs and milk were a nice touch, and more eggs available at farm entrance - the duck eggs were delicious! The field behind the cottage was full of lambs which was lovely to wake up to and the property is gated with a small garden so we could let our dog wander in and out safely which was nice. This farm is rural and you do have to drive to get to places but we knew this and were okay with it. Favourite local beach was Cocklawburn. Goswick sands is good too, although take care with the dog as large parts of it is nature reserve so on-lead only. We visited Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh (fantastic beach!), St Cuthberts cave, Alnwick and Berwick, all between 15 and 45 mins away. Parking was easy everywhere and mostly free! Berwick upon Tweed is okay, some nice shops - Northern Edge coffee was a hidden gem, dog friendly too. We visited Norham on the thursday evening as there's a visiting fish and chip van, and had a lovely walk round here too. We had no issues at all during our stay. A lovely, relaxing week :)

Winter Break
Stayed at Linnet Cottage for 10 days in November. The cottage is warm and cosy and has everything needed. Alhough the cottage is situated on a farm the roads leading to it are good and not far from the main access road between Coldstream and Berwick-upon-Tweed and to the A1. Laura made us super welcome and there we're nice touches in the cottage like fresh flowers, dog towel/bowl and proper Ordnance Survey maps of the area. Laura responded to all our queries over the 10 days. Fresh eggs can be bought from the farm and arrangements made for them to be left on the doorstep. Although most fields appeared quite bare at this time of year we were lucky to see plenty of wildlife around the area including deer, a weasel and many birds of prey. We would definitely stay again in the future. Di and Tim and Kodi

Fabulous relaxing stay
We stayed at Linnet cottage for a couple of days and had the most restful time. The cottage is in a lovely rural location which offers peace and quiet for your stay and has everything you need for a relaxing break. Laura provided us with a wealth of local knowledge of places to eat and visit, and there is a really useful information book in the cottage. The view over the fields from the lounge/ diner and bedroom is wonderful, as is the sunset. We visited Lindisfarne, Etal, Wooler and Berwick, all within easy driving distance. We had a lovely relaxinv stay and would love to visit again and definitely recommend the property for anyone wishing to have a quiet restful break away from our busy lives.

Ideal for peace and quiet.
This delightful cottage is set within a working farm but this caused no problems or disturbances at all. Everything you need is provided for you, just bring food and clothes. Sit in the garden and have a drink, see if you can hear any traffic noise.... I couldn't! It's within a short drive of Berwick and Spittal beach is ideal to exercise your dog and it's free parking here!

Quiet and convenient
A lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere but close enough to berwick and other local sites. The cottage was clean and had everything you need for a stay away from home. Would definitely recommend
