Property Description

Silver Award from the Green Tourism Scheme.

Relax amid spectacular and dramatic scenery in this gloriously unspoilt part of Northumberland. Lying within the Northumberland National Park and enjoying panoramic views over Whitelee Fell National Nature Reserve, the cottages are former shepherd’s cottages on the owner’s sheep farm, renovated to a very good standard and retaining lots of character. Oak (ref 16498) and Birch (ref 15841) have beamed living room ceilings and all three have inglenook fireplaces with multi-fuel stoves for a warm and cosy atmosphere as well as power showers in the bathroom. There are wildlife cameras which feed live pictures direct to the flatscreen TV in each cottage, so you can watch barn owls, badgers and other wildlife. The area is rich in wildlife and ideal for walkers. Whitelee Farm is an idyllic base for exploring the Roman wall, Lindisfarne, Alnwick Castle, Kielder Forest Park and the Scottish borders. Newcastle and Edinburgh are within an easy drive. Shopping in Otterburn and Jedburgh, both 15 minutes away. NB: 15841, 16498 and 80119 are in close proximity to each other and can be booked together to accommodate up to 13 people.

  1. Birch Cottage is simply beautiful, in a location where the views are breathtaking. The cottage owners are so friendly and welcoming, it was like we had known them for years. There is so much to do in the local area. May 2012.
  2. Very remote and quiet location - owners hospitality excellent, best we have ever had. Had a really relaxing time. March 2012.
  3. Idyllic location with easy access to the whole of the national park and parts of Scotland. Hosts very warm and welcoming, but not at all intrusive. A beautiful, peaceful escape, with the only draw back being, it is very hard to leave! March 2012.
  4. Warm, cosy cottage in peaceful location. Owners very friendly and helpful. Feb 2012.
  5. We found the owners, the most welcoming hosts, with genuine regards towards your stay and enjoyment. They set a shining example to all. Information on local walks and interests was plentiful. The wild life camera views on the TV were an added bonus. A place I am sure we shall return to in the future. July 2011.
  6. This was our 2nd stay at this property, it was nice to walk in and feel at home straight away. The addition of the wildlife camera’s is an added bonus. Thanks to John & Jill for the Wine and the warm welcome . A great area for walkers and dogs. March 2011.
  7. Absolute peace and quiet, we were there in January, the cottage was warm and well equipped, all fuel included in the rental. A wood burning stove or an open fire are a must for us at this time of year so this was ideal. Nov 2010.

  18. As soon as we arrived we felt at home. The cottage was outstanding and was only out classed by the views. We were given a guided tour of the cottage and talked to Jill and John as if we’d known them for years. We watched in amazement at the Barn Owl and her chick, badgers and foxes on CCTV, what a great idea! May 2009.
  19. Clean, well equipped and very comfortable cottage set in a quiet location. July 2009.
  20. Our break to Birch Cottage was fantastic. The cottage was warm and welcoming on our arrival with the log burner lit and the cottage feeling cosy and warm.
