• The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is the jewel of the Northumberland Coast. This week we kicked off our boots to walk barefoot across the sea on the traditional Pilgrim’s route to the island, guided by the incredibly knowledgeable @patrick.norris.581 of Footsteps.⠀ ⠀ This was a morning of sheer escapism – enveloped by all-encompassing views… lungs filled with the soft sea air… our magnificently squelchy feet… and Patrick’s enchanting tales of the people who have walked this route over the past 1,500 years. C&C approved and a must-do when in the area!⠀ ⠀ #crabtreeandcrabtree #FootstepsInNorthumberland #northumberland #visitnorthumberland #holyisland #lindisfarne #englandscoast #northumberlandcoast #summerholidays #staycation #uktravel #wanderlust #thegreatoutdoors #escapism #stayandwander #coastal #coastalliving #happiness #explore #tranquility #thegreatoutdoors #pilgrimage

  • We were delighted to host Lisa Grainger from The Times as she kick-started her dazzling road trip round Scotland’s majestic castle gardens here in the Scottish Borders. ⠀ ⠀ “Having just returned from a journey around three historic Scottish estates in Caledonia, I need no convincing about the power of gardens to enchant — and these are particularly spellbinding. Maybe it’s the contrast between the artistically planted floral beds against a backdrop of wild moorland, or the clear light and moody skies that lend them extra drama, or perhaps it’s the ruins of Pictish forts and castles that add such atmosphere. ⠀ ⠀ Certainly, in the midst of a pandemic, driving around sprawling castle gardens and staying in luxurious self-contained cottages felt like sweet relief.”⠀ ⠀ Lisa stayed at Monteviot Stables West, an inviting red-sandstone holiday house for 8 guests in the grounds of Monteviot House & Gardens - simply perfect for garden lovers ✨🌳🌺🌿⠀ ⠀ #crabtreeandcrabtree #scottishborders #visitscotland #scotlandstartshere #thetimes #timestravel #summerholidays #ukstaycation #uktravel #countryhouse #wanderlust #thegreatoutdoors #escapism #countrygarden #garden #monteviothouse #monteviotgarden #gardenlife

  • Nothing says summer like a beach break, and beautiful Farm Cottage, our newest arrival, ticks all the boxes. This traditional Northumberland stone cottage is just a short stroll from one of the North’s finest beaches: Cheswick Sands in Northumberland. ⠀ ⠀ This is one for the walkers and cyclists: explore the many footpaths that criss-cross the fields, stroll along the sands watching the kite-surfers and sand-yachters or bike the Coast & Castles cycle route, which is literally on the doorstep. This glorious sunshine won’t last forever: best get outside and enjoy it!⠀ ⠀ Farm Cottage Cheswick, Northumberland Sleeps 4 with 2 dogs welcome ✨ ⠀ #crabtreeandcrabtree #northumberland #visitnorthumberland #cheswicksands #beach #summerholidays #ukstaycation #uktravel #cottage #coastalliving #coastalcottage #coastal #wanderlust #thegreatoutdoors #escapism

  • We asked Corinne, the local owner of our holiday cottages around Reedsford and Crookham, to divulge her insider knowledge on what makes Northumberland oh so special!⠀ ⠀ "There is a certain sense of rejuvenation that this part of the world gives you. The sort of peace so rarely experienced in life today; the sort of space, so huge and uncluttered, that it will draw you in; the bird song, so clear; the light, so ethereal and extraordinary it will touch your soul. Our county – the least populated in England – is in no rush, it has no queue. Just step outside the door of your holiday cottage and look around you…”⠀ ⠀ #crabtreeandcrabtree #northumberland #visitnorthumberland #visitengland #staycation #uktravel #explore #wanderlust #countryside #countrylife #wonderful_places #england #happiness #wanderlust #stayandwander #thesimplelife #nebloggers #england #englishcountryside #livelikealocal #thegreatoutdoors
