Description
The Old School is a beautiful, single-storey house resting in Lowick, Northumberland.
This family-friendly property boasts a woodburning stove, conservatory, and enclosed garden.
With designated off-road parking for one car and further roadside parking available, The Old School is an idyllic base for a family on a rural retreat in Northumberland.
Step into your historic home-away-from-home after a successful day of adventure in the roaring hills of Northumberland National Park.
Freshen up in a spacious bathroom or en-suite shower room while the utility washing machine prepares tomorrow’s outfit.
Whip up a delicious dinner in the well-equipped kitchen/diner with help from an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, and large American fridge/freezer, while your loved ones keep you company at the breakfast bar.
Dig in at a dining table for six or, when the sun calls to be enjoyed, sizzle up some supper on the barbecue and dine alfresco in the enclosed garden.
When the evening chill starts to nip, throw your plates to the dishwasher, and curl up in the conservatory with your favourite book or the living/diner with a film on the Smart TV, toasty by the glow of a woodburning stove.
When sleep calls, answer in a king-size or twin bed eager to embrace you.
Soak up your local surroundings with a scenic stroll to Shepherdskirk Hill and Ordnance Trig Point, then grab some pub grub from the multiple eateries just a stone’s throw from your property!
Venture a little further afield to Berwick-upon-Tweed for the finest sea views from Berwick Lighthouse, walk along Berwick Town Walls, bop along the ocean at Berwick Boat Trips, and catch some live music in the evening at The Barrels.
Take that short drive to Bamburgh to treat the history buff to Bamburgh Castle and the RNLI Grace Darling Museum, then indulge in a beach day at Bamburgh Beach.
There’s something for everyone to enjoy when you stay at The Old School.

What guests are saying
This is our third dog friendly cottage this year and we certainly saved the best until last.
The Old School was just perfect. The house was very clean throughout. Comfortable bed and comfy sofas.. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything in working order. A lovely welcome pack was most welcome and appreciated. So handy to explore the area. Lots of nice walks and two pubs just a few minutes walk away serving good food. Very professional information folder unlike scratty notes on a pin board at our last cottage. There was just one small negative, the side bedroom window in the en-suite bedroom needs cleaning outside
Lovely property.
Very spacious. Sunroom was a lovely place for a morning and evening read. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we could need. Comfortable beds. Clean throughout. Very well located for everything Northumberland has to offer. Nearby shop was excellent and take-away from the White Swan of fish and chips also very good.
We had a lovely Christmas break.
The house is very comfortable and very well equipped. A few little grumbles....no starter pack for the fire as started, it had been remarked about in the guest book. Fine if it's not now included but please do let people know. It's not good to arrive for Christmas, having done your shop , to find that even the local shop has sold out. The duvets needed extra for winter, it was cold at night. Garden needs a tidy, too many broken up shed stores. All minor bits. We would definitely stay again !!
