The Granary is a one bedroom, ‘upside-down house’ located at West Moneylaws just outside Cornhill-on-Tweed on the English side of Border Country. With quiet countryside surrounding you, yet just minutes from Berwick, this is the ideal place to go to get away from it all, or use as a base to explore the attractions and sites of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.
The front door is right the front of the property, given this is an ‘upside down house’ this door makes the loading and unloading of luggage straight into the bedroom as easy as possible. The double bedroom enjoys a kingsize bed and the bathroom with a luxury style suite and larger shower is located off the bedroom. In addition to the bedroom entrance there is a more formal entry to the side. The main living space can also be accessed from the side of the building by stairs. The open plan space has a wood burner and yet has a real contemporary feel about it. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare and enjoy meals before or after your Northumberland adventures. There is a private patio which is perfect for summer nights and the surrounding area is ideal for walks. Why not arrange to take the owners alpacas for a trek round the grounds? Don’t forget the selfie!
One of the real bonus features of this property is the location. With Berwick nearby you may be surprised that you can be in either Edinburgh or Newcastle for a day in the city in just over an hour by car. The beaches in Berwick and the gorgeous long stretch of blonde sand at Goswick are recommended for walks as is Holy Island and nearby Bamburgh, just remember to check the tide times and don’t get caught out at the causeway on Holy Island!
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 6 guests.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Granary. It is a beautiful property, very peaceful, comfortable and spotlessly clean.It is a rural location, ideal for walking in the Cheviots hills, visiting the local castles, towns and villages. Also great for venturing to the beautiful Northumberland coast.Jo provided us with some good recommendations and lovely welcome basket, which was very much appreciated.We would definitely recommend this accommodation and would love to stay again.

There was no bottom drawer on fridge for water milk wine etc it was broken and had not been fixed. But that was not really a problem. Hairdryer was also broken but Joanne replaced this immediately The real issue was there was lots of building work right outside so the quiet countryside location was not really quiet. In fact tbe two times we tried to go for a walk round about the farm and countryside etc we were approached by barking dogs running free. There was drilling and obviously men shouting on the building site right across from where the balcony was where we had hoped for a quiet retreat and to sit outside and read but that was not possible. Very disappointed so we came away three days early. We have been there previously and did enjoy the place but the building work going on right next to us should have been made clearAnd we could have made a decision then
