A warm welcome from
Trysha & Graham

Graham and Trysha moved to this special quiet corner in the Northumberland National Park 25 years ago and began to carefully develop and nurture Cheviot Holiday Cottages within the secluded 4 acre grounds of their C18th rectory – such an idyllic and unique setting. The couple are unobtrusive though always pleased to ensure a warm welcome and deal promptly with guest needs and now specialise in providing a bespoke high quality holiday experience in The Retreat, Gate Lodge and a refitted Coach House.

We stayed at Gate Lodge for our honeymoon and it was the best experience we have had in the UK. The cottage was immaculate, fantastic facilities and had delicious food. For any couple looking for a romantic stay or just to relax in a beautiful area with incredible starry nights, we would definitely recommend Cheviot Holiday Cottages.

What a beautiful place to stay!! This is our first visit to Cheviot Holiday Cottages but will certainly not be our last. We have loved every moment, from first enquiring we received a very quick response to our warm friendly welcome when we arrived. Trysha is a fabulous cook and would thoroughly recommend trying the pizzas and her delicious crumble!

Wow! Its almost as if we've been holding our breath since leaving the A1 and heading up the A697. Nothing could have been any nicer during our fabulous week, our first in Northumberland. The people, the places, the cottage and even the weather have been absolutely perfect. We have to agree with at least one previous comment about the delightful lack of traffic. We didn't think anywhere like this still existed in England. One week is nowhere near enough to even scratch the surface, so we will certainly be back. Very rarely do you find somewhere you feel deserves more stars than its been awarded. This is a real gem of a place - well done Graham & Trysha and thank you for making it all possible.
