  • "We loved the house and were very warm and comfortable there."

    It’s well appointed, and the big windows make the most of the view.

  • "Such a great house for us - a group of old friends."

    It was warm, clean, loads of sociable space and helpful owners. Also there is a wonderful bath, fantastic showers, and we saw an otter and loads of interesting birds. Highly recommend this place. Only thing we could think of to improve it is some more chopping boards :) Thank you again.

    Thank you so much - it means a lot to get such good feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again! Jess and Andy Property Owner

  • "We had a few days at Whiteadder bank, we all thoroughly enjoyed it is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in, very well equipped and so peaceful but not far to nip to Berwick if you need anything."

    On arrival we had a lovely welcome pack with refreshments and local honey and jams which we all enjoyed. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. The patio area is great if you get good weather it would be nice to sit out in the summer for a barbeque, we just settled for a cup of tea!. There are some binoculars which were very useful to look at the birds feeding on the river, we were not lucky enough to see a seal or otter but maybe next time. We will come back again to this lovely house with the family in the future

    Thank you so much for your kind comments, we really appreciate it. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again! Jess and Andy Property Owner

  • "Loved Whiteadder Bank - 5 Stars Ours was a very last minute booking, due to the fact that we had walked away from sub-standard accommodation provided by another company!"

    Sykes Cottages to the rescue and luckily for us, Whiteadder Bank was available. Our intention was to originally stay in Bamburgh, but after finding Whiteadder, the location was perfect. Literally a few mins drive from the main A1 route South & North, but in such a tranquil setting. We loved sitting out on the terrace listening to the sheep talking loudly to each other. Beautiful views. The property itself has been refurbished to a really hi-spec and we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely return in the future. Thank you to owner Andrew for hosting our last minute booking and for being in contact with us regarding a few questions we had. Highly recommended.

    Thanks for the kind comments, Stephen. We're really pleased you had a good stay and look forward to seeing you again! Andrew Property Owner

The property

Whiteadder Bank is a superb four-bedroom holiday home.

It is ideally situated beside Whiteadder Water with views of the river and the farmland beyond from every room.

The river is home to heron, salmon, otters and even the occasional seal.

It may feel like a true escape from city-life but the friendly, historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with its numerous attractions and amenities is just a short drive away. Recently renovated, this former pair of shepherds’ cottages has been turned into an immaculately laid out, luxurious family retreat.

All four bedrooms have an excellent views over the river making them the perfect place to take a pair of binoculars and spot some wildlife!

Downstairs is a large well-equipped kitchen, whilst the spacious living and dining rooms have large French windows that open onto the suntrap terrace and extensive garden so that, in the summer, you can enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor living.

To the side of the house, a patio with a rustic table, seating eight, makes it easy and enticing to eat, drink and relax outside.

In the winter, the thick lined curtains and wood burning stove give the house a homely hideaway feel.

Whiteadder Bank is situated at Canty’s Brig, a quiet hamlet between Berwick-upon- Tweed and Paxton village.

There is a beautiful river walk through the woods to the nearest pub, The Cross Inn, just across the border in Scotland.

Alternatively, take the path along the River Tweed to Paxton House, a Georgian mansion open to the public set in 80 acres of woodland and gardens.

Take a long walk in the other direction along the Tweed to Berwick and visit the impressive Royal Border Bridge. More adventurous guests can head to the Cheviot or Lammermuir hills for more challenging hikes.

Nearby are beautiful beaches, coastal paths and many tourist attractions; the wide expanses of Cocklawburn, Cheswick and Goswick beaches are a short car journey away.

Lindisfarne is 15 miles away, Bamburgh Castle is 22 miles away and Etal Castle with its popular light railway is 12 miles away.

A scenic minute drive north brings you to the stunning coastal paths at Coldingham and St Abbs Head.

Berwick-upon-Tweed only 2.9 miles away offers a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, as well as the Maltings cinema and theatre.

The station is on the main railway line between London and Edinburgh.

Whiteadder Bank is in a great destination perfect for both relaxing and exploring the whole of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
