Wagtail Cottage is a spacious and cosy farm cottage. It's all on the ground-level and ideal for families. Wagtail is a pet friendly cottage which can accommodate up to two pets. There is a large enclosed garden with views out to fields and our miniature donkeys. We have storage for bikes and the barbeque. With unlimited heating, large sofas and a log burner, it is the perfect base to get away from it all.

We are a farming family who have been welcoming guests to Thornton Farm since 2009. We are respectful of your space and privacy, but live on the farm and can be reached any time if needed.

Thornton Farm is only 10 minutes from Berwick-upon-Tweed, 20 minute walk from a pub and 15 minutes by car to the beach. It is ideal for those wanting to explore Northumberland, yet enjoy some peace. Cheswick Sands and Cocklawburn beach are our nearest coastline for amazing walking from Berwick to Holy Island. Pop into the Barn at Beal for lunch or a hearty breakfast. The Plough on the Hill is our nearest pub. It offers local food, gin bar and a live band most Saturday evenings. The pub is also dog friendly is certain parts of the bar. Berwick is a hidden gem of Northumberland. We love to walk around the Town Walls exploring the bloody history and inspiration behind the art of Lowrie. The River Tweed also has beautiful walks under the Berwick bridges. You can dolphin-spot in the River Estuary. Further down the River Tweed you can find the Chainbridge Honey Farm and Paxton House, two of our family favourite places to visit. There is so much to see and do, yet without the crowds of other parts in the U,K. We are only 45 minutes by train from Edinburgh and 45 minutes from Newcastle. Situated in rural Northumberland you can enjoy stunning landscape.
