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.

On arrival there was no welcome pack, which put us having to seek provisions such as milk and bread etc... and finding shops in area which we did not know where. A television would have been welcomed in kitchen as having to go to living room upstairs wasn't always acceptable. The cottage provided ideal base for local amenities, entertainment and attractions to Berwick and surrounding areas. We enjoyed our stay.

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 🙂
