OK, so you’ve tried one of our Coastal Retreats, but have you ever gone the Retreats country way? We have a small, but perfectly stylish collection of Country Retreats that are just as refreshingly different as our coastal ones…
A 200-year-old traditional whitewashed Scottish Borders cottage, sleeping four, Tweedswood is a wonderful fusion of old and new. Its original architectural features have been enhanced by squashy Loaf sofas, White Company linens and a contemporary fireplace with slate hearth. Find out more
A charming Retreat with views of the Northumberland National Park, Rosebud’s tranquil exterior and richly-coloured interior are truly refreshing. With its beautiful exposed roof trusses, this two-bedroom cottage near the Northumberland villages of Belford and Chatton is also just 20 minutes from Bamburgh if you’d like a coastal fix too.

Half a mile down a small woodland track in County Durham lies this delightful 250-year-old renovated stone mill. A secluded couple’s cottage, ideally placed for visiting the cities of Newcastle and Durham, and the famous Beamish Museum, it makes a great base for days out before coming home to a slice of country life.

New to our collection for October 2019, Number Nine is a former iron worker’s cottage which has been transformed by its owners with a flawless, high-end interior and professionally landscaped garden. Sleeping four, it has rolling countryside views and is in walking distance of the County Durham village of Lanchester. The heritage sites of Durham city are 15 minutes’ away by car. Find out more
If you’d like a Country Retreat but still want to be close to the coast, you might like The Fold@Rock, The Lodge@Shirewater or any of our Tughall Steads cottages.
