About this property

Skylark Cottage (Thornton Farm Cottages - Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland)

A cosy pet friendly cottage comfortably furnished throughout and set in peaceful surroundings. All on groundfloor level it is accessible and has parking for two cars. There is a large garden with unspoilt views of countryside.

Skylark has a large sitting-room with two large sofas, 32" TV with netflix, log burner (two baskets of logs included with rental price) and dining-area seating six people. Kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, cooker, microwave and high quality cutlery, crockery and utensils. Utility room with washing machine, tumbledryer and boot drying area. Bathroom with over head power shower, large bath and complimentary toiletries. Two double bedrooms with double beds, plenty of hanging space and storage. One twin bedroom with two single beds and loads of storage.

All heating and electricity is included in the rental price. With regards to Electric Car Charging an additional fee of £5 per night of your stay will be added to your booking. Unlimited WiFi access is provided. High quality bedlinen and fluffy towels are provided. We also provide a dog water bowl and pet towels.


Thornton Farm Cottages are perfect for a get-away-from-it-all holiday! There will always be fresh flowers, our own eggs (hen-laying dependent) and a pint of milk in the fridge ready for your arrival.

Everything is to a high standard, for example we believe in good quality beds and John Lewis bedlinen. All the bedrooms are comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. We have fitted the kitchens with everything you need during your holiday, from coffee plungers to Alessi cutlery. Our cottages have a home from home feel and all our furnishings are to a high standard.

Thornton Farm is 5 miles south west from Berwick-upon-Tweed. It is an organic arable farm run by the Smales Family. Thornton is 50 miles from Edinburgh and 50 miles from Newcastle. It is a short drive from Norham Village with Norham Castle, a great pub and local shops.

We have space for securing your bikes so you can head out along some wonderful cycle routes. Cheswick Sands is 15 minutes by car and offers fabulous walks along some of the most deserted and beautiful coastline in Great Britain. We can offer guest passes to Paxton House where you can picnic by the River Tweed, visit the art gallery or walk along to the Chainbridge.

Guests are welcome to meet our miniature donkeys or help collect eggs. We like to leave you in peace and so everything is on offer, but never put upon guests. There are wonderful walks around the farm and guests love to bring their cameras for wildlife watching. For those with children we have a wonderful play park next to Skylark Cottage with wooden swings, see-saw, slide, climbing frame and willow playhouse. Perfect for little monkeys and den building.
