About this cottage rental

A very pretty stone cottage set in a peaceful location with far-reaching views over farmland to the hills beyond.

Perfect couples' retreat in a super location
The perfect couples' retreat, the cottage offers well-presented, spacious accommodation in a super location at the end of a private road on the Swinton Hill Estate.

Here you can unwind and listen to the gentle sounds of nature taking in fresh country air or head out and explore the stunning Northumberland coast or the rolling Border heartlands. Alternatively for those who prefer their leisure time on two wheels, two complimentary bikes are available for guest use on request.

Inside, the sunny open-plan living space is the convivial heart of the house. On warm days, French doors let the fresh Borders air in, or simply relax mind, body and soul in front of the dancing flames of the wood burning stove for those lazy days or cosy evenings when the seasons change and the days grow shorter.

The smart kitchen is well equipped with plenty of thoughtful extras which make this a real home-from-home. The bedroom is warm and comfortable with crisp linens and pretty cottage detailing to ease you into a lovely sleep after a day in the great outdoors.

Outside the seating area is a super spot for an evening drink watching the sun set over the distant hills with little to interrupt the moment and an overall sense of peace-perfect-peace.

The house was lovely, set in a secluded area but not too far from a town. Everything has been thought of to make the stay enjoyable and the arrival tray of bread milk and cake, was very welcome. Fresh flowers were also a nice addition. The Bothy provided the ideal base for discovering the surrounding area of the Borders and Northumbria. The owners were not intrusive, but were available should we have needed them. It was easy to book the accommodation and communication between the agent was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stop here again.

The Bothy is a beautiful cottage which has everything for an enjoyable holiday. Owners friendly and available if required. We would certainly recommend a stay to Unwind and recharge the batteries Alan & Roberta Martin

Lovely quiet location in the countryside with nice walks around about, accessible to the Berwickshire coastline - you could open the door and go straight out for a walk, or at night just look at the stars. A very dog-friendly environment. We had a nice meal in the local pub - probably walkable in the summer, also not a long drive from Lindisfarne. Very comfortable accommodation with everything that we needed. Nice to sit outside and have a coffee in the sun during the day, and sit in with the fire in the evening. The hosts were very welcoming and provided a nice welcome pack which was much appreciated.

Beautiful cottage finished to a very high standard....spotless and well maintained, equipped with everything you could possibly need...and more. The owners, who live close by, are non intrusive but are delighted to offer advice or help if needed. Perfectly situated for exploring either the coast or the lovely border towns or, if you prefer, to just chill out and relax in. I would certainly recommend this holiday let to others.
