A character cottage in the traditional village of Norham, this location offers activities for all of the family.

The beautiful Norman Castle ruins overlooking the River Tweed, painted by Turner in 1845, are the most recognised feature of the mediaeval village of Norham. The village contains a good butcher and bakery, as well as a Post Office, grocer, newsagent, and two pubs, one of which, the Wheatsheaf pub in neighbouring Swinton, has an award-winning restaurant. The Cross Inn in Paxton, as well as two fine restaurants in the town of Allanton that are great for fishing and shooting parties, are also close. Berwick-upon-Tweed, on Northumberland's picturesque Heritage Coast, is just 7 miles away, with many restaurants, cafes, bars, and a local links golf course. Berwick is only 40 minutes by train from Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, or Newcastle, its largest city. A fantastic base for seeing everything North Northumberland has to offer.
