Set in a small village location with clear views across open fields towards the Kyloe Hills and the Cheviots, Fircones is a delightful and cosy cottage ideal for a quiet getaway or retreat. Two excellent village pubs and a general store within a short walking distance mean you can easily park your car on site and stay home! There are any number of great walking opportunities from our doorstep. However, you are only a short drive from some wonderful places to visit should you choose to explore the beautiful north Northumberland coast and countryside.

We ran a successful B&B on Holy Island before the pandemic and, when we decided to move on, we very much wished to stay in this wonderful part of the world and still have the opportunity through our cottage to share it with others - but let you organise your own breakfast! Our involvement in the local community has been a high priority - Kevin chairs the local history group, Tracey is part of a thriving weekly quilting group and together we run a monthly open-mic evening in our village hall as well as joining with friends and musicians each month in other local venues. We also have a large studio on site which used to be the village pottery. Last year we have been busy with a complete renovation and expect it to be ready in early 2023 for crafting and teaching activities both for the local community and for the benefit of guests staying with us. Hospitality is very important to us and we hope that your stay at Fircones will be a memorable one.

Lowick has a church, two very good pubs serving food, a very handy village store and newsagent and a garage - all within a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. You are spoilt for choice for places to visit and we're very happy to offer our local knowledge. We are a 15-minute drive from the historic walled town of Berwick, a similar distance from Holy Island and about a 30-minute drive from Alnwick Castle and Gardens There is also a regular bus service to Berwick and south to neighbouring Wooler.
