Whiteadder Cottage is a lovely place to spend some quality time in Northumberland. The house is in a quiet street that backs on to the beach at Spittal with a nice walled garden. The kitchen is well equipped for those who like cooking. The beds are comfy. The house is tastefully decorated and the owners Robert and Angela are lovely, helpful hosts. Highly recommended. A bonus that it's dog friendly. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay near the Tweed ( local walks are excellent).

A really lovely place to stay. The appartement is so comfortable, and such a lovely space to be in and so welcoming. The wood burner and comfy seating were so lovely for relaxing in the evening. The whole property was spotlessly clean and tidy and beautifully furnished and decorated. The owners, Rob and Angela, are a really lovely couple, friendly and welcoming and so kind and helpful, whilst also discrete. Their three dogs were a joy too, they were really friendly and well behaved. The property is less than a minute away from Spittals beautiful beach and promenade and within, for us, walking distance of everything Spittal and Berwick has to offer. I am really hoping to visit again in the future. There was really nothing we could fault nor suggest that would have improved our stay. Thank you. Highly recommend a stay there.
