A former smithy in an idyllic rural setting near the coast with views to the Cheviot Hills Set amidst a smattering of farm cottages in the rolling Northumberland countryside near the picturesque village of Cornhill-on-Tweed, The Smithy is the essence of blissful isolation. Despite its sense of rural seclusion, however, the cottage is less than half an hour’s drive from Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, making it the ideal spot from which to explore both coast and country. Known as the first and last village in England, Cornhill sits on the border with Scotland where it follows the River Tweed, bordered by the Cheviot Hills to the south. This setting ensures that The Smithy is remote enough to deliver a sense of blissful rural isolation while also being close enough to Cornhill to easily pick up provisions and enjoy a pint in the village shop and Collingwood Arms Hotel. The Smithy’s bespoke sage green country kitchen is bathed in light thanks to a double skylight and window to the surrounding fields and features a wooden dining table for cosy meals à deux. Follow a couple of steps down from the kitchen to find yourself in the magical sitting room where you can get comfy and snuggle up on the leather sofa in front of the tremendous inglenook fireplace and towering timber trusses. The bedroom features a super king bed with views across the surrounding countryside while the contemporary bathroom offers an indulgent walk-in rainforest shower. Enveloped by an enclosed garden, The Smithy features a gravelled garden area to the front of the house with sweeping views across fields to the Cheviot Hills, a picnic table and charcoal kettle barbecue. Nearby you’ll find walking and biking galore in the Cheviot Hills, fishing on the River Tweed, historic castles to visit at Norham, Ford and Etal, and the nearby Battlefield of Flodden to explore. GROUND FLOOR Kitchen with dining area incorporating fabulous, handmade, fully equipped kitchen with 5 ring electric hob and double oven, microwave, fridge with icebox, washing machine and dishwasher. There is an adjoining lockable outhouse with freezer. Sitting room with exposed beams and wood burner with logs provided, sofa and double sofa bed. A sideboard provides the option for extra guest storage. There is plenty of indoor entertainment provided including Smart HD TV with Freeview, iDock and a selection of books and board games. Bedroom with 6' super king double bed, dressing table and built-in wardrobe. Shower room with rainforest power shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. OUTSIDE To the front of the property is a private graveled garden area with picnic table and charcoal kettle barbecue. This leads on to a lawn stretching round to the side of the property. The front aspect of the property looks out over fields and offers guests privacy. The rear of the house looks out onto the driveway (the access to the property) and further afield towards the farm itself. Please note that the windows of the living areas of The Smithy all face away from the farm. The garden is fully enclosed when the gate is closed. There is an adjoining lockable outhouse with freezer. The outhouse also provides space for storage of bikes, etc. PARKING There is private parking to the rear of the house. BABIES & CHILDREN A travel cot and highchair are available on request.

We enjoyed some beautiful driving through the national park. Bamburgh, Seahouses, Kelso and Flodden all within easy reach. The sky at night is littered with stars and hardly any light pollution. Very quiet at night for a perfect to sleep. ##### Julie H.
