🔥 Log burner for cosy evenings in with fuel provided
🛌 Sleeps 6 - 3 bedrooms - 2 upstairs onto large balcony - 1 downstairs for easy access
🛀 2 bathrooms - bath & standalone shower - 1 downstairs
☕️ Well equipped kitchen including dishwasher - dryer - full fridge freezer
⚡ Fast Wifi throughout
📚 Smart TV, and a selection of books, guides and board games
🚘 Parking for 2 cars

The cottage is a short walk into the village (3/4 mile) and surrounded by some fabulous countryside and river walks.

It has its own enclosed and secure outside space, with seating areas ideal for relaxing, eating and enjoying the sunshine at the front and a further grassy seating area at the back.

There is parking for 2 vehicles.

On the ground floor the property consists of a dining kitchen area fitted with cooker/hob/fridge freezer/microwave and dishwasher.

A double bedroom and a bathroom with bath and overhead shower and WC.

Also on the ground floor is a cosy living room with a wood burning stove.


On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one with 2 single beds.

Both bedrooms have access to a joint balcony area with outside seating where you can enjoy the sunshine or even sit and gaze at the stars. Both bedrooms have a television with Freeview.

There is also a walk in shower - with toilet and sink.

WiFi and a selection of books and games are available. Bed linen and towels included. First firewood provided with further to purchase on site or from local shops.


Check in is 3pm onwards - check out by 11am (we may be able to accommodate early check in / late check out if you let us know in advance).

We do not allow smoking inside the property.

Dogs are very welcome - and we are more than happy to dog sit if required.


The village boasts 1 pub, a fantastic butcher (renowned in the area), bakers (also very good), as well as a local shop/newsagents (which is very well stocked). The historic village is one of the most northerly in England. Situated on the south bank of the magnificent River Tweed, steeped in history, it is a magnificent place to live or visit.

I must mention this before I forget - do not miss the chip van every Thursday night outside the pub at 6pm - you will not get better fish and chips :)

Norham sits on the southern bank of the Tweed, the river forming the national boundary between England and Scotland. Norham has an historic Castle and Church and is a wonderful centre for visitors, with a wide range of fascinating locations and attractions within easy travelling distance.

Dominating the village, sitting on a bluff overlooking the river, the castle featured in many Border conflicts until the Union of the Crowns. It was a favourite subject for JMW Turner, and many artists since, on their Borders visits.

Ideally situated for fishing enthusiasts. Take a riverside walk and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the scenery. You can obtain a trout fishing permit or just spend a lazy day watching the salmon, swans, herons, ducks and numerous other varieties of birds that share this beauty spot.

The River Tweed has always been famous for its salmon and is still regarded today as one of the best salmon fishing rivers in the country, with Berwick still having a very small fishing fleet. Fishing, golf and riding are all available locally and there is a leisure centre in Tweedmouth offering a pool with waves and flume. One mile away from the centre of Berwick is the seaside resort of Spittal, with its sandy beaches.

Berwick has excellent public transport and there is a frequent train service to both Newcastle, Edinburgh and Durham.

The cottage is within travelling distance of the beautiful Northumberland East coastline including Berwick Upon Tweed, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Seahouses and Wooler to the West for the Cheviots and the Northumberland National Park.

The area is surrounded by countless walking and cycling routes including The St Cuthberts Way.

Moving just over the Scottish border, it is also only a short drive to Eyemouth, St Abbs and Coldingham which are also well known for their beautiful beaches. St Abbs is a picturesque harbour village with a sandy beach and very popular for windsurfing.

The cottage is perfectly placed for a trip to the cities of Edinburgh or Newcastle. You can either enjoy a train ride from Berwick which takes around 45 minutes or by car which will take you just over an hour.

The cottage is an ideal base to explore Northumberland’s many fabulous castles dotted along the coast and up into the Scottish Borders where there are many stately homes to visit.

Have a truly wonderful stay.

Four fantastic days
Beautiful, peaceful, cosy. I could go on. The cottage was modern and cosy at the same time. There was a welcome hamper which contained a variety of items which would allow you to eat if you’d brought nothing with you including a cuppa or cappuccino ( with pain au chocolat). The host welcomed us and was available and asked how things were in passing. I would recommend this property and location to anyone. We had a wonderful time.

Fantastic accommodation
Fantastic accommodation, Lee couldn’t be anymore accommodating if he tried. He provided a lovely welcome hamper. It’s a great location about 3 miles outside Berwick on Tweed and about a mile from the river Tweed & the boarder with Scotland. Great to get to many tourists attractions, holy island, Kielder forest, Bamburgh castle, Edinburgh etc. Hope to come back at some stage in the future.

The property is exactly as shown and Lee is a welcoming and helpful host. The welcome basket was a lovely touch with everything you need for the first day and beyond. The property is immaculately clean and well equipped with the addition of tvs almost everywhere to allow people to watch what they like. The location is excellent for visits all over the border area and visits to lindisfarne and Bambaugh castle are a must. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Superb holiday let
Three sisters and spouses celebrated the youngest member of the party's 70th birthday!!! What a brilliant location for a quiet and restful holiday! Loads of interesting visits. This part of Northumberland should not be neglected as a holiday destination! What a superb cottage: very well resourced, clean and comfortable. Amazing care and attention from our friendly host, Lee. The warm greeting was capped by an amazing Welcome Pack. So grateful for the thoughtfulness. Couldn't have been better.

Quiet, rural getaway but close to the A1.
A well equipped, modern and dog friendly cottage. Excellent welcome hamper on arrival from Lee who was very helpful. Lots of information available on local walks and trips available in the cottage. Only issue we had was that the downstairs toilet is a very low child height one which my elderly mother in law couldn’t use and her bedroom was downstairs.

Wonderful cottage with everything you could ever need. Lee was super helpful and gave us some great tips for places to visit. We visited Eyemouth, Bamburgh, Holy Island and Berwick for a lively walk around and a fab meal at Foxtons. We loved the outdoor seating for the stargazing and the visits from the deer in the surrounding field. We will definitely be returning.

Our fortnight holiday at Morris Hall Cottages
When we booked this holiday we were not sure what to expect as it was the first time we had used vbro but the holiday turned out to be exceptional. The cottage was excellent and so was the host Lee who welcomed us and offered any support we may have needed. Not that we needed any support. I would recommend Morris Hall Cottages with a rating of 10/10.

Wonderful home from home.
We had a truly wonderful stay here at Morris Hall Farm holiday cottages. The cottage itself was very comfortable, warm, plenty of room and very well equipped. The shower upstairs was really lovely and powerful! The kitchen is well equipped which made for an easy week of eating in. A lovely touch that dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid were provided, not a common occurrence on many of our previous self catering holidays. Wifi was great and a nice surprise that there was Netflix, prime etc available on the main tv in the lounge. Lee was a very friendly host, helpful and happy to chat/give advice on things to do in the local area. The peacocks are very friendly and an usual thing to see outside the kitchen window! As for the welcome basket, what can I say apart from wow! The best we have ever experienced thank you Lee!! Norham itself is a great location for a trip around the sites of Northumberland, we enjoyed the coast, Holy Island, Duddo stones, Alnwick castle and Berwick upon Tweed. Norham castle is a lovely walk from the cottage and even kept our 10 year old interested. Thank you again Lee for a lovely half term break.
