The End Hoose Whitsome

The End Hoose is one of a row of cottages on our farm, right at the end. It's a working farm, mostly fields, but we've got some sheep and cattle too. You'll see us about.

It's a four star cottage. That basically means it's comfortable and well equipped. Sleeps four. Two bedrooms upstairs: a king size and a twin. Both look out over the fields. There are two bathrooms, one with a bath and one with a shower, which helps in the morning.

Downstairs is just one open room. The kitchen has what you need. The living area has a table, sofas, and a TV. There are beams in the ceiling. The stairs are typical cottage stairs, so watch your head on the way up.

You have a little private garden area out the front to sit. Parking is right outside.

The farm is busy at certain times. Harvest is August into October. If you come in April, we can sometimes arrange a visit to see the lambs. In October, you can pick a pumpkin from the field.

Location wise, you're in the countryside. Duns is about ten minutes by car for shops. Berwick-upon-Tweed and Coldstream are close, about fifteen minutes. The coast, with beaches like Coldingham Bay, is about twenty minutes away.

For history, you're well placed. The Union Chain Bridge, which is the oldest suspension bridge still carrying traffic, is five miles away. Paxton House and Manderston House are both within a ten minute drive. A bit further, you've got Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle and its gardens. Edinburgh is about an hour and a half by car.

Facilities included are: WiFi, TV, dishwasher, washing machine, cot, highchair, and stairgate. Bedding and towels are provided. The entrance is accessible for wheelchairs, but please note the bedrooms are upstairs. There's bike storage. Sorry, no pets.
