Guests say
Guests generally find the cottage to be a delightful and peaceful retreat, well-situated for exploring local attractions and enjoying nearby beaches. The spacious accommodation is appreciated for its comfort and the enclosed garden is a bonus for pet owners. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the positive experiences far outweigh the negatives.
Most guests found the cottage to be enjoyable and did not raise cleanliness as an issue. However, one review mentioned the need for a general clean, with specific references to dirty sinks, a puddle on the kitchen floor, and mould in the shower, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, rural setting with easy access to Berwick-upon-Tweed, local shops, amenities, and beautiful beaches. Its proximity to attractions like Holy Island and the A1 is also appreciated, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, with a special mention of warm and comfy beds. However, one review suggested that the mattresses, particularly in the single beds, could be replaced due to being squashed down on the sides.
The cottage is well-equipped with a large kitchen, ample crockery, and an enclosed garden. Some guests suggested improvements such as cutting the grass, painting the garden gates, and addressing parking conditions. A deep clean and minor maintenance were also recommended.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Murton Whitehouse Steading is a U-shaped steading, sympathetically converted into six cottages, all with private gardens and grouped around a central courtyard. An ideal getaway for a family or a small group, this cottage at Murton Whitehouse Steading will comfortably sleep up to six people. On the ground floor of this charming house, you’ll enjoy preparing meals and snacks in the kitchen/dining room, utilising the door out to the garden while the kids play, and whoever isn’t cooking can enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine. If it’s not as sunny and warm; the view is equally as nice. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs, including the largest of the three, which has an en-suite shower room. Also on the ground floor is a very useful shower room, accessed from the spacious hallway. The remaining bedroom on the grounds floor is a twin room. Upstairs, the main living room shared the floor with the third bedroom. The main bathroom completes this floor.
Within 100 yards of the property is a riding school and there are various walks available through the beautify countryside from the steading. The historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is approximately 3 miles away, with the Elizabethan town walls, well worth strolling arounds. Berwick has a thriving compliment of restaurant and pubs – you may be surprised to learn that ‘Lowry’ painted many pictures of the area. This park of Northumberland is famed for the spectacular coastline beached with views of the turbulent past within close proximity. Unmissable places to visit include Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Bamburgh Castle and Chillingham Castle. Edinburgh is 60 miles away, as is Newcastle. The Cheviot Hills are close by with numerous walking routes, whilst the Scottish Border is within 5 miles and the pretty coastal village of Eyemouth is less than a 20-minute drive. If you are lucky, you might be able to see the dolphins in the harbour.

Very spacious and warm, comfy beds and great location. Enclosed garden at front and back for dog. Lots of crockery, glasses and cutlery which is fab as many holiday rentals only give you the bare minimum 🙂

Great cottage in a good location, well equipped and very roomy.We stayed over Christmas and would have loved the cottage to be decorated for the season (we did take our own).The only criticism is parking very muddy and lots of large potholes. A delivery of hardcore would improve this
