The charming Northumberland village of Lowick is home to The Smithy, a carefully renovated stone cottage offering accommodation for six guests. Inside, a large open-plan kitchen and lounge area gives access to a private garden, ideal for an al-fresco breakfast or an evening aperitif. Lowick lies within a few miles of the dramatic Northumberland Coast and is an ideal spot from which to explore this richly historic region. The village is often referred to as the gateway to the Cheviots, a large expanse of beautiful rolling hills stretching across the English/Scottish border. Horse riders, cyclists and ramblers will love the numerous footpaths and bridleways which run through the picturesque scenery. Nearby Berwick-upon-Tweed is the most northerly town in England and offers a bustling shopping experience as well as many historic attractions. Also nearby is the picturesque town of Alnwick with its cobbled walkways and world famous castle. Other ‘must-sees’ are the picture postcard village of Bamburgh, which is almost dwarfed by its own hilltop castle, and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne which is accessed by a tidal causeway. From the coastal village of Seahouses, bird lovers can take a boat trip (in season) to the Farne Islands to see the famous puffin colonies.

This is our second stay at The Smi thy and we loved it just as much as the first time we stayed. A lovely holiday cottage, well decorated and well equipped with everything you need. A lovely welcome package awaited us on arrival. The Smithy is located in an ideal spot for visiting & exploring Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. We would definitely book The Smithy again.
