Cottage in Northumberland

Nestled in the lovely Northumberland countryside just a short walk from stunning sandy beaches, this secluded complex of four cottages is built on the site of the old colliery buildings in the village of Scremerston, just a few miles from the lively coastal town of Berwick. This is a region steeped in history, with the Roman forts of Hadrian's Wall and the heritage castles of Alnwick and Norham within easy distance. Keen cyclists and walkers can follow the Lowry trail around beautiful Berwick with its independent shops, restaurants and cafes while the birds of prey centre and Chain Bridge honey farm are ideal for family days out. The Borders region is renowned for its historic houses and abbeys, set in glorious rolling countryside, while the unspoiled beaches and picturesque coastal towns are perfect for picnics and water sports.
