You'll find this cosy home in Norham, a quaint village on the banks of the River Tweed. Close to Berwick (fifteen minutes by car), Edinburgh (a forty-minute train ride from Berwick) and the Northumberland Coast (a twenty-minute drive), we think this area is perfect if you fancy countryside walks through The Borderlands, sunny days on the beach and salmon fishing in the river. There's plenty to keep you busy in town, too, with two charming pubs, an award-winning butcher and a local bakery. On Thursdays, grab fish and chips from the van and gather for a picnic on the village green (it's right across the street) or take it home to enjoy on your private patio with a bottle of local ale. Inside, the living area is cosy and warm, with an electric fireplace perfect for chilly evenings and plenty of snuggly seating. The kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up homecooked feasts (using ingredients from the local butcher, of course), while upstairs, the two comfortable bedrooms promise a good night's sleep. We think it feels like a true home-from-home, making it an excellent option for a family getaway to the Borders.
