About this property

Chirnside 1 mile.

An attractive, stone-built, semi-detached property, part of a pleasant courtyard complex in the rural hamlet of Allanton, 1 mile from Chirnside. Tastefully renovated, with a woodburner set in a stone-walled corner of the sitting room, this Chirnside cottage truly retains some of the character of the original building. There is a traditional Chirnside cottage garden leading to lovely walks, which complements the restful feel of the house, and helps make this an ideal romantic venue for two. This Chirnside cottage is also well equipped, and decorated to a high standard. Set just a short distance from rolling hills and expansive beaches, this charming Chirnside cottage is very well placed for those who prefer outdoor pursuits. There are several outstanding golf courses nearby including Bamburgh, Roxburgh and Goswick. Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands are only 30 minutes' drive away. This Chirnside cottage is across the courtyard from Ref. 4276 and Ref. 4278, together they accommodate 10. EPC Rating: Band E

The village of Chirnside occupies an elevated position overlooking the River Tweed and offers stunning views across the magnificent Cheviot Hills. A number of interesting landmarks depict the village's long history, including a 16th Century dovecot and a beautiful parish church, believed to date back to the 12th Century. Each summer, the Jim Clark Rally, the only 'closed roads' race on mainland Britain, takes place in and around Chirnside as a memorial to the village's home born champion. Just 9 miles away lies the charming, coastal town of Berwick, boasting narrow streets enclosed within Elizabethan walls, excellent shopping and dining facilities and an interesting arts centre. The local area affords fantastic fishing, golf and riding opportunities and a fun-packed leisure centre, whilst the nearby resort of Spittal offers soft, sandy beaches, ideal for a relaxing afternoon.

    However the location was marred by the frequent dog barking and piles of dogs faeces in the shared courtyard. Also in winter with the late access the cottage was extremely difficult to find. We always use Sykes when booking cottages but was disappointed on this occasion.

  • Malcolm

    Great parking. This is not a criticism because everything is operational and a very good standard. Any changes I would make would be improve pressure in shower and heavier duvets. Thank you but would definitely stay again. This note has come from someone with Cottages with Sykes.

  • Helen

    It is a well-equipped cottage and is nicely decorated. The owners are very friendly, but not intrusive. The grounds are lovely.
