Peaceful, cosy stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Skylark. Super peaceful, no noise or light pollution. Laura has thought of everything for her guests, everything was set up for us on arrival. Loved the log burner & watching the birds outside the window. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful cottage and hosts

We enjoyed a lovely week in Skylark cottage. It was in a beautiful location and had everything we needed for a relaxing, peaceful stay: the kitchen was well-equipped, the fireplace was beautiful and the beds were extremely comfortable. Laura - our host - was extremely friendly and helpful and we absolutely loved having the donkeys and Harry the horse at the bottom of the garden. The cottage is in an ideal location to explore Berwick, Lindisfarne, Seahouses and the Scottish Borders.

Beautiful cottage a short drive from the beach

We had a lovely few (post lockdown) days staying in Skylark cottage. The cottage is very well equipped, spacious and has a large secure back garden looking over the fields at the animals. Laura was very communicative and was available for any queries we had. The cottage is a 10 minute drive from Cheswick Beach which is absolutely gorgeous, and deserted. The road outside the cottage is virtually free of traffic so is very safe for children and pets. We hope to stay again in the future.

Warm welcome, cosy cottage with added joy of being on a working farm.

What a wonderful time we had at Skylark Cottage. From the moment we arrived Laura, Jane and Anna were incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our young children loved meeting the donkeys and collecting the eggs and playing in the play area next door. They didn't want to leave.. and nor did we!! The cottage is a great base for exploring Northumberland and Scotland. We packed loads in in 3 days...but the cottage is so lovely that we can imagine it would be a great place to relax and do absolutely nothing as well! The cottage was clean and spacious with everything we needed and lovely soft pillows and duvets. Would love to return one day soon...and hopefully for a longer break. Thanks Laura and family for making our break so special.

A quiet retreat

3 generations of us had a lovely week in the cottage. There was everything we needed in the cottage and the donkeys, pony and chicken were much admired by my granddaughter who also enjoyed telling stories to the little dog next door who was equally captivated. She also made great use of the play area. Laura was very helpful before we went over providing some different bedding, which in the end we didn't need because the duvets weren't synthetic. The beds were fantastic with very comfortable mattresses, top quality cotton bedlinen and down duvets and the towels plentiful and thick. Although the farm buildings are opposite the situation is very quiet with almost no vehicles using the road and a lovely view of the rolling countryside from the back garden. There is easy access to Berwick and all the local places to visit so it's a great place to stay.

An amazing piece of North East paradise

Beautifully fully equipped cottage in a great location. Ample size for our family of 6, clean, tidy with a great welcome from Laura, who was a pleasure and couldn't do enough. A perfect piece of paradise away from hectic life. Breath taking surroundings, the children loved feeding the horse and donkeys, then hopping over the wall to the play area. Close enough to amenities but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. We thoroughly loved our stay and will definitly be returning! Thanks Laura
