About this property
This attractive stone barn conversion is set on a former dairy farm with residents-only access from the road and is one of a small group of properties that are surrounded by wonderful countryside.

Step into this delightful, bright, and airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area where you can all spread out to relax after your days out exploring this fabulous area. Unwind in the evenings with the warmth of the lovely wood burner while watching your favourite movies on Smart TV. French doors lead to the south-facing patio garden to the front so you can enjoy spending time indoors and outside in the warmer months. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything the family cook will need to prepare a range of meals, with plenty of space for food and drinks in the tall fridge and an additional fridge/freezer in the utility room where you will also find the washing machine and back door. Sit at the kitchen island with a drink or breakfast and for more sociable meal times there is a large dining table and comfortable chairs. There is a downstairs WC off the utility room, perfect for when you are spending time in the rear garden, and a cupboard with coat hooks for hanging your outdoor clothing. At bedtime, head up the iron, open-tread staircase in the lounge to the first floor for the three well-appointed bedrooms, each with plenty of storage for your things. There is a king-size with a Smart TV, a twin bedroom with a comfortable chair, and a generous super-king-size with an en-suite shower room and WC. The spacious family bathroom has a freestanding bath for a relaxing soak in bubbles, a separate refreshing shower, and WC.
Outside there are two gardens, to the front, there is a south-facing patio garden with garden furniture accessible from French doors in the lounge, and to the rear, there is an enclosed garden with trees forming a small wooded area with wildflowers, perfect for games of hide and seek for children and dogs. Enjoy alfresco dining sitting on the garden furniture. Relax with a morning coffee to watch the visiting birds and in the evening, gaze up at the dark, super-starry sky.

Mr Docherty
This is an excellent property enough room for 6 comfortably - though I noted a pull out under one if the twin beds so maybe a 3rd child in that room is possible too . Comfortable seating area and wood burner - with a full weeks supply of logs in the shed - we used it every day , Great kitchen area with enough pots pans and cutlery etc , we appreciated the welcome pack of tea and coffee. The beds were very comfortable we slept well . It benefits from 2 heating zones which meant we could keep upstairs cool for sleeping. Both front and rear gardens are private and fenced the bird feeders were well attended and we topped them up over the week . Easy parking for 2 vehicles was appreciated . The very new leisure centre in Berwick is under 5 minutes drive and with a main pool , kids pool , water slide/play zone and soft play is great for a family visit or you are just wanting to keep it - we used it most days . Exploring the walls and some quirky shops and various eateries was worthwhile . The walk to the pier end was excellent . In terms of the location the property is located between the main A1 and the East Coast main rail line so with windows open you can expect some back ground noise - with then shut we didn’t notice it . We came back from the week fully refreshed . We will certainly be revisiting this property

What a beautiful well presented home! Definitely big enough for a family or small group. We were just a couple and it was really too big, however our dogs had the choice of 2 enclosed garden areas and parking is right outside the door. Superb location for the Northumbrian Coast and to pop over the border via the chain bridge or cross the causeway to Lindisfarne.

Had a 3 night stay (6 adults and 2 dogs), accommodation was very comfortable and the open plan living made it a very sociable occasion. The gardens were nice and secure, meaning dogs could be let out safely. Lovely quiet location within a short drive to lovely beaches. We would definitely recommend this to others and would happily return.
