Marshall Meadows Country House Hotel

Top choice in Northumberland Coast


England's most northerly hotel, just 600m from the Scottish border, sits amid 6 hectares of woodland and ornamental gardens. The Georgian manor's 19 rooms (including a ground-floor family room) have countrified checked and floral fabrics. There are two cosy bars with open fireplaces, a conservatory, and an oak-panelled restaurant serving breakfast (including kippers), and evening meals by candlelight.

The Berwickshire Coastal Path walking trail runs alongside the property.
