    “The cottage location is amazing in a lovely village with shop, butcher and good pub (Mason's Arms).”

    The cottage is well furnished and equipped, but the outside space was unkempt with old, wobbly chairs. There was no pre-arrival communication from the owner, no milk in the fridge on arrival, and the bed linen had not been ironed. Charging sockets are at skirting board level.

    - Frances, June 2026

    I thanks for your feedback. We always strive to make everyone’s stay a pleasant one and we are sorry that this didn’t seem to be the case for your visit. The garden chairs are slightly wobbly but still very much safe and usable. But we have just replaced them today. Sykes property gives you all the pre arrival information you require we as owners are not required to reach out to incoming guests. (This is not Airbnb) we don’t provide milk never have and have never advertised this but I see you enjoyed all of the welcome pack. Crisps, biscuits and chocolate. The bedding was absolutely ironed as it comes from our laundry company that we have used for several years and not once have we had any issues from them. And yes the sockets are low down as this is a quaint 200 year old cottage but you must have missed the high positioned sockets in the kitchen. We hope this answers your concerns and again many thanks for the visit Property Owner

The property

Settled in the conservation area of the historic village of Norham, in Northumberland, rests this stone-built terraced cottage, Castle Keep.

Brimming with character dating back to the 1850's and enjoying an idyllic position close to the border of Scotland, Castle Keep promises a wonderful getaway for families, friends and couples alike.

Stepping inside your new home-from-home, you will be welcomed by a delightful hallway, where you can remove any shoes and coats and store your belongings away from the main living areas.

Moving through the property, enter into the beautifully-presented sitting room, where a warming woodburning stove provides a cosy ambience from morning, noon to night.

A characterful hatch window overlooks the kitchen area, ideal for socialising with your loved ones as you prepare a range of hearty, homecooked meals that can be enjoyed at the nearby dining table.

In the summer months, why not make mealtimes an alfresco affair and venture outside to your private garden?

Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom, whilst a stylish family bathroom can be found upstairs; pour in the bubbles and enjoy a moment of peace with a blissful soak in the tub.

When sleep calls, choose between a king-size and a single bedroom, each offering handy storage to unpack your belongings and make yourself at home.

The delights of Norham are set a short walk away from your holiday home; take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved ones to an indulgent meal at one of the local pubs, or stock up on fresh, locally-sourced produce to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home from the local butchers and bakery.

The border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is within easy reach, settled at the northern tip of Northumberland's spectacular Heritage Coast, brimming with an abundance of facinating history to be discovered at the ruins of Berwick-upon-Tweed Castle and the Berwick Town Walls.

Avid golfers will delight with a visit to Magdalene Fields Golf Club, whilst those looking for a change of pace can catch the train to the vibrant capital cities of Edinburgh or Newcastle upon Tyne.

A holiday to remember awaits at Castle Keep.
