You may be surprised at how far from civilisation you feel when you visit Dowie House Steading, then you remember you’re right on the A1 north and south and have the activities and attractions of Northumberland and the North East, the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh which are all within relatively easy reach. Surrounded by farmland and neighbouring the sand dunes and some of those long blonde sandy beaches that the area is famed for, you find an old farm steading with an ideal holiday home within.
The very well-proportioned accommodation includes a large open-plan living/dining room with a wood burner for those cold evenings and an arched window and door leading to the gardens and decking area. The kitchen is well-equipped and has the modern appliances included that you would expect to find in any good holiday rental - microwave, dishwasher, coffee grinder, just enough to make things that little bit easier. Both bedrooms are double size and attractively finished. One of the rooms has a kingsize bed and the other can be set as either a single bed with a pull-out bed underneath, or a superking sized bed. The bathroom was also a pleasant surprise due to the generous size and modern finish with white suite and over bath mains shower. Beach 1 mile. Shop 4 miles, pub and restaurant 5 miles.

Comfortable very clean cottage, friendly but unobtrusive owners, great location for exploring this beautiful coastline. The stretch of Cheswick Sands, just a short walk from the cottage, are lovely.

We had a great stay in this lovely cottage, which is clean, stylish and cosy - even during a very chilly week in February! We know Northumberland well, but found lots of new places to explore as well as some of our favourites. Jake and Lisa were very friendly and helpful hosts. The proximity to the railway line was no problem, we enjoyed hearing the occasional train in the distance. Cheswick beach is a short walk away, with lovely views south towards Lindisfarne and north to Berwick. A note to visitors - Jakes map to find the cottage is esential, particularly if you are arriving in the dark!
