About this property
A beautifully appointed, early 19th century former coach house, situated in the attractive village of Lowick, 11 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. Sympathetically converted to a particularly high standard, this property offers a spacious open-plan living area with woodburner, three lovely bedrooms, two with open roof trusses, and a lovely garden parlour room leading to a secluded rear garden. The Coach House is ideally located for all that this impressive holiday destination has to offer. Within easy driving distance are Berwick-upon-Tweed on the Scottish Border, the market town of Alnwick with its impressive castle and gardens, the Heritage Coast to the east and the National Park to the west. A fabulous base from which to explore this delightful area.
The village of Lowick is well placed for a holiday in the unspoiled region of Northumberland. The village has a store and two public houses and is only two miles from the village of Ford and the Etal estate, with its castle and craft shops. The Etal Estate offers activities such as fishing, cycling and a mini railway, making this an ideal day out for the whole family. There are eight golf courses within a 20-mile radius, and many other attractions including the border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Lindisfarne on the Holy Island and the spectacular Cheviot Hills.

Clean, comfortable and cosy, especially as we travelled up during storm Darragh whichade the journey interesting!! Lovely welcome pack too! The location is great for long beach walks with my dog, Yogi, and the kitchen fully equipped for some pre Christmas indulgent cooking, which the local birds also did well out of!! The cottage would perhaps benefit from a lick of paint and the replacement of a few soft furnishings, but wouldn't we all!! Many thanks for another great holiday, Sarah, Mark and Yogi

There was a lovely welcome pack and everything was as expected. Lowick is the perfect location for exploring this area of Northumberland. Coach House is just a short stroll away from the Black Bull Inn which serves a great breakfast and evening meals. Would definitely stay here again.

Fridge was dirty on arrival.Bathroom upstairs was not clean especially in the corners. We have never had problems with other properties and we regularly take breaks. We will not be returning.
