More About the Cottages

Our Northumberland cottages were developed from an 18th century byre and granary using Charles’s skills as an engineer and Dee’s creative background in fashion and textile design. Their work sympathetically retains many original features and the historic feel of the place combined with very comfortable and high spec modern building design. All four cottages form part of one traditional Northumbrian sandstone building, with a paved patio area outside including original feed troughs overflowing with cottage flowers. Each cottage has its own front door leading into its open plan ground floor space. The parking area is immediately beside the cottages. These are very comfortable and cosy houses that work equally well individually or taken together to accommodate larger groups.

At Southlands we pride ourselves on the cottages squeaky clean finish and warm welcome. Our  dedicated cleaners help Dee to achieve the spotless finish and crisply ironed sheets we know our customers love, and is a valued member of our family team. Guests can look forward to fresh flowers and a welcome basket full of locally produced goodies on arrival.
