About this property
Resting with a central position, on the main road into Lowick, is this superb stone-built holiday cottage, ideal for touring a spectacular area on the north-east coast and Holy Island. Step into the entrance hallway, comprising lovely wooden floors and space to hang your coats, and move into the spacious sitting room, kick-back, relax and enjoy the quirky décor complete with ceiling beams and an uplifting multi-fuel stove. From here you have access up the winding staircase to the loft bedroom, a wonderful space with a nautical theme, super king-size bed and a fabulous en-suite bathroom. Back on the ground floor you will find the other two bedrooms, a lovely twin with en-suite shower facility and a king-size room with pretty colour schemes, French doors and an en-suite bathroom, each boasting wall-mounted TV's. From here you can glide out onto the patio and soak in the beautiful hot tub with unique starlit ceiling, take in the delightful ambience seeping from the village and wash away any worries you might have in this fabulous, private setup. The dining room also has access to outside, as well as the kitchen, a wonderfully appointed suite of stylish units and fittings, occupying an ultra-modern design. An impressive AGA Rangemaster cooker sits within a chic formation, easing you through your well-earned holiday break. If you fancy a night off from the cooking, perhaps you might like to try one of the local pubs serving a selection of delicious food; Lowick also offers a range of other amenities right on the doorstep. You have easy access to Berwick-upon-Tweed and Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, not to mention Holy Island, a superb destination waiting to be explored along Northumberland's fabulous coastline as well as the Cheviots for hill walking and mountain biking. This is a wonderful getaway not to be missed!

From the moment we arrived it was warm, comfortable and spacious with everything you could need. We had a welcome message from the caretaker before our arrival and found a welcome pack at the cottage which was very nice. We stayed in the upstairs room and found the bed comfortable (there had been a few negative comments about it), although the downstairs double has been decorated to a high standard including a twinkly star ceiling, we preferred the super king bed upstairs. Such a shame the place is up for sale as we definitely would have returned. We have stayed in many holiday rentals but this was up there with the best! Lowick village was nice too with two pubs which both serve food, as well as a well stocked village store - the tray bakes were gorgeous. The locals were all very friendly. All in all, a fantastic stay and we would definitely recommend.

The cottage was very clean, the comfort of the cottage was generally good except for the towels rail in one of the bathrooms which did not work so was very chilly. Although most of the cottage was well maintained the hot tub was not and the owner could not be contacted by us or Sykes, despite this being a deciding factor when we booked.

3 adults and 3 dogs on a week's stay end of Jan '24. Perfect location for numerous dog friendly beaches in the area. Hot tub a lovely addition. Enclosed garden, on 2 levels, with high fence. Cottage is a tardis! Location of the 3 bedrooms adds that bit of privacy for guests, especially as all are en-suite. Wasn't too keen on the child safety gate at bottom of stairs, this was a bit awkward when stepping on/off bottom step. Mattress in the loft bedroom, not the most comfy, but certainly big. Each room on different levels, just one or 2 steps so would not recommend for anyone who prefers a level footing throughout, but for us lovely and quirky. Pubs in village a bit quiet, but probably as our holiday off season. Village shop lovely. Highly recommend and we are aiming to visit again in the future.
