The Nurse's Cottage is a cosy, 2 bedroom cottage situated in the quiet village of Lowick in North Northumberland. The Cottage has recently been renovated. A spacious family living with a wood-burning stove and dining space, kitchen and bathroom occupy the ground floor. Going up the stairs in the living room, you will find 2 bedrooms on the first floor. There is off-road parking to the front and a paved, private garden to the rear of the cottage, with seating facilities. Our guests have exclusive access to the whole property. We leave you to enjoy your stay and operate a self check in / check out system. However, if there are any issues, we are usually around. You will be provided with our personal mobile number and key safe info after booking. At the top of the village, on walking distance, there are the Black Bull Inn and the White Swan Inn, which are both open for food and drinks. There is also a village shop selling local produce, as well as everyday essentials. In the middle of the village is a lovely play park for our younger guests.
