The Experience

This Grade II listed cottage feels remote but is only four miles from historic Alnwick. Delight in unbroken views of grazing sheep, the rugged Cheviots and open skies – it’s dramatic even when the weather is dull.

Cooks work in an uber-sleek kitchen and extra family or friends can join in comfortably at the large Mousey Thompson table. Lydia leaves you with a welcome hamper of wine, fruit and local cake, and can arrange all kinds of concierge services – a private chef, foodie hampers, organic spa treatments and guided walks with an ex-shepherd.

Sit out in the garden, go for walks, take a picnic into the woods or hop into the car for the delights of the Northumberland coast – sandy beaches, historic castles, seaside villages and quaint harbour towns are within half an hour’s drive.

Reviews

Beautiful cottage and great location. Lovely welcome basket with thoughtful touches. Spotlessly clean and starter basket of logs and kindling most welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for Lydia. Highly recommended.

Malcolm, Wirral

After our first visit in 2019 we were desperate to return to Northumberland and Keeper’s Cottage.The very comfortable Cottage is of the highest standard with all we needed for a wonderful holiday. Having spent the last thirty years enjoying some of the best holiday accommodation in Devon and Cornwall we were thrilled to find an area and Cottage that has surpassed all our expectations.

Luigi, Blandford

Thanks for creating a gorgeous and peaceful place to come back to after endless days of beach walks, castles, big skies and great food. We've fallen in love with Northumberland and will definitely be back. All the walks in the little books are great (Happy Valley, Craster, Holy Island). Alnwick Castle is the best we've ever been to (not just for Hogwarts fans), and Alnwick Brown Ale is worth the trip on its own

Louise & Andy, London

We know the area well but Keeper's Cottage is the best accommodation we have experienced - and all the treats got our holiday off to the best possible start. Thank you!

Hi Lydia, On behalf of my family, I just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed our stay at Keepers Cottage last week. A really cosy and extremely comfortable cottage,all of us felt most at home there! I admit the weather could have been a bit warmer but that did not prevent us from visiting Northumberlands beautiful coast and countryside. At least we had a fantastic log fire to warm ourselves in the evenings! A special thankyou also for the flowers, wine and delicious carrot cakes, they were much appreciated. I'm sure we shall return for future holidays!

Location

The neighbourhood

You’re in a peaceful corner of a private county estate - all you will hear is birdsong and the sound of sheep bleating, and there are lots of great walks in the area. The nearest town is Alnwick, four miles away and famous for its castle and gardens; you’ll find a range of shops and restaurants including the renowned Treehouse Restaurant. You’ll also find Barter Books – a magnificent bookshop with open fires in the winter and great food.

Local points of interest from Abbe Van Driel

  • Northumberland offers wild coastline, a string of sandy beaches, historic castles and forts, secret surf spots, chocolate box cottages and quaint harbour towns combined with dynamic mountain range scenery that will take your breath away.
  • Head to the picturesque seaside village of Alnmouth to discover bijou galleries hidden down cobbled streets. Don’t miss the renowned Art Festival in the summer which showcases over 70 artists, live music, street food and children’s workshops.
  • Enjoy a boat trip to the Farne Islands, one of the best spots to see a wide range of sea birds in the British Isles. It is the biggest Grey Seal sanctuary in England and one can find Puffins more plentiful here in season than almost anywhere else in the UK
  • Saddle up and enjoy country hacks near the banks of the nearby River Till to galloping in the heather on the moors overlooking the Cheviot Hills and cantering along the white beaches of Holy Island with one of the friendly local riding schools.
  • Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England. Many of these castles, including Warkworth, Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, stand guard along our dramatic coast.
  • With more than 30 miles of beaches, a galapagos of islands, hidden coves and designated areas of outstanding natural beauty. Head over to Beadnell beach, a hub of activity where you can enjoy windsurfing, waterskiing, coasteering, canoeing and sailing.
