About this property
This secluded country hideaway, one and a half miles from Cornhill-on-Tweed has a beautiful outlook towards the Cheviot Hills. Originally a shepherd’s cottage, it offers comfortable modern accommodation while retaining its original features and charm.
Lightpipe is a secluded hideaway nestled in the midst of the rolling Northumberland countryside, with a beautiful outlook towards the Cheviot Hills. Just over a mile from the River Tweed and one and a half miles from Cornhill-on-Tweed, Lightpipe was originally a humble shepherd's cottage built of the local stone around 1835.
In 2005 it was lovingly restored and extended. It now offers extremely comfortable and modern accommodation whilst retaining its original charm and features. Incorporated into the walls under the eaves are roosts for the local pipistrelle bats, while a barn owl nesting box has been built into the roof space.
In the village of Cornhill-on-Tweed you will find the local pub, The Collingwood Arms and the Cornhill village shop and café which provides fresh, local produce and delicious baked goods.

This was a super cottage surrounded by rolling countryside. Perfect for spending christmas with friends. Host Jasmin made us feel very welcome with a lovely basket of Christmas treats, nothing was too much trouble, very nice lady. The cottage was decorated for the season with a beautiful tree with fresh garlands and holly….The property itself was amazing, exceptionally clean, spacious, cosy and warm. Peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of life, plenty of walks etc. A perfect place to relax and unwind. Very long journey for us from Kent coast but certainly worth every mile we travelled. Would love to return when able. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in.

A beautiful area. The cottage was too a very high standard. Very secure garden. No light or noise pollution. Plenty of places to visit which were all an easy drive too
