    “Briar Cottage is a little “tired” in places but if anything this adds to the very homely feeling, it’s a really cosy, characterful place in a beautiful location.”

    Sharing with four adults you notice there’s only one loo, but the beds are comfortable, the bedrooms warm and the lounge is great with the open fire. It’s a shame the garden isn’t quite secure for the dogs but the courtyard is a nice addition. We had a great week and were very happy.

About the location

TOWN YETHOLM AND KIRK YETHOLM

Cornhill-on-Tweed 4 miles; Coldstream 6 miles.

The two villages of Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm are situated half a mile apart on either side of the River Bowmont, at the north end of the Pennine Way. Once providing a route through the hills into England, the villages are named 'Yetholm' after the Scottish 'yet', meaning 'gate' and the Anglo Saxon 'holm' or 'ham', meaning 'settlement', essentially 'place at the gate'. Both villages boast good pubs serving excellent food, small shops and a gift shop. Within easy reach are Cornhill-on-Tweed, a small, agricultural village and the town of Coldstream, which lies on the northern bank of the world famous River Tweed, with both offering good, real ale pubs and a selection of shops. The major visitor attractions of north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders are within easy driving distance, including the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne with its excellent shopping and night life, Edinburgh, Alnwick, with its famous Treehouse and Gardens, Bamburgh and its beaches, Holy Island and of course, the beautiful Northumberland National Park.
