Overlooking Sir Edward’s Lake in Capheaton, Northumberland, this is the first of three recently refurbished cottages in one of Northumberland’s most picturesque and peaceful locations. This end-terraced cottage is called ‘Edward’ and is part of a spectacular conversion of a line of the earliest built cottages in the village. Externally the cottages all retain their original frontages but have been converted to the rear to provide warm, modern and spacious accommodation.
Edward has one spacious double bedroom, complete with enormous copper bathtub, and door opening to the patio area. Cosy living room with wood burning stove and kitchen dining room with fabulous views to the rear of the cottage.
You can book all of our properties together if you are planning a trip with friends or family.
You are welcome to enjoy walks around the Lake, or come and see the gardens at the Hall.
There may occasionally be private functions and events at the Hall so it is probably wise to check with the Estate Office at the time of booking.

Another wonderful week in Capheaton! We enjoyed 3 bookshops(!) - Barter books, Alnwick, Cogito books, Hexham and Forum Books, Corbridge (highly recommend a treat from Grants Bakery!), a walk around a frozen Bolam Lake and a spot of beachcombing at Druridge Bay, as well as lots of cosy times by the fire reading, playing board games and best of all the amazing bath! Edward cottage was as always the perfect getaway and we've had such a relaxing and restorative week - thank you!

An amazing place. Perfect for a New Year getaway. Loved the walks, will definitely be back it was so good!
Sarah & Grayson the dog - December 2025/January 2026
We have thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay here. It has been just what we needed. Relaxing, peaceful and stress free. There are so many nice walks nearby plus it's only a short drive from so many cosy pubs, restaurants, activities etc. We loved cooking on the evening then relaxing in front of the fire/in the huge bath. Thank you so much.
Lee & Nicola - December 2025
What a wonderful place. Truly relaxing. Great cycling from the door. Simonside and Dove Crag circular walk involves a bit of a climb but well worth it. Make sure to visit the garden - the atmosphere is serene!

When we were here in June for our first visit, we said to ourselves "wouldn't it be lovely to come away here in the Winter, with the wood burning stove and fantastic bath and great views... we could do some jigsaws, play board games, read books... wouldn't it be cosy?!" So we did, and we have, and it was! Thank you again for providing such a wonderful place to escape to. We've had a very relaxing and restful week.

We've had a wonderful week here in your peaceful cottage... comfy, cosy and clean, with fantastically non-bland decor and crockery, we especially appreciated the luxurious bath tub!

Our first family holiday with 8 month old Frazer. We loved looking around the walled garden and chapel and meeting Willy and three dogs. The cake at the village hall was divine! Frazer enjoyed meeting the inquisitive cows over the road.

Steve, Lisa and Nolly - September 2023
Just what the doctor ordered which is ironic as my father was Dr Jack White and was the GP for this area in the 1960's-1980's! Beautiful cottage, fabulous landscape - no doubt we will return.

Our 4th visit now. As always we enjoyed the peace and quiet and the lake walks. Not too far to come just to get out of the city and into the amazing Northumberland countryside.
Tracey and Harry - January 2023
We had a fantastic stay – very relaxing. Enjoyed some lovely wintery walks and appreciated the fire after. Highly recommend the Beresford Arms for a meal and lunch at Kirkharle Coffee House. Ruby (our rescue Staffie) appreciated the little touches for her too, thought mostly loved the fire!
Mr and Mrs Jones - January 2023
A whisk missing for the chef – soon remedied! Lovely week albeit a bit wet. Our border terrier now an old lady so we did some gentle walks. Hareshaw Linn, circular walk around Wallington Hall, over to Amble and Druridge Bay. Also visited Housesteads Roman Fort and Corbridge. Morpeth, Cragside although discovered it was closed until end of February. Lovely grounds and interesting power house – still well worth the visit. Lots of hot water and Eva loved the treats!
Mr and Mrs Willems and Eva - December/January 2022/2023
The perfect wee escape to hibernate during the coldest spell on Earth! That bath though! We’ll be back.
Marc and Averyl - December 2022
Amazing cottage and lovely location. Very enjoyable and relaxing time spent in Edward. Louise was very pleasant and helpful. Many thanks.
John and Elizabeth - November 2022
Thank you so very much for your hospitality. I have enjoyed your woods and gardens so much (what a wonderful walled garden). What a marvellous conversion, beautiful décor and so much comfort and attention to detail. Particularly appreciated was the continuous hot water, warm towels, supply of wood and thoughtful bits for the dog. Also your cleaner is a gem, the cottage was spotless. Thank you also for the bottle of chardonnay, crisps and biscuits.
Heather and Poppy the Lab retriever - October 2022

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location. The cottage has everything you need and has been restored to a very high standard.
Andrew and Suki - August 2022
Where to start! What a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Everything is beautiful quality. We were lucky enough to explore the gardens of Capheaton Hall and met Eliza who invited us to explore. The green house was out of this world. Northumberland is stunning.
Julie, Paul and Jax - August 2022
Fabulous cottages, loads of character and all the mod cons. That bath is awesome!! Had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend.
Dave and Debs - July/August 2022

AH - March 2022
Beautiful property with a very high standard of decor and furnishings. Would highly recommend.
GN - December 2021/January 2022
Again a great find for us on our trips around the UK. Super well appointed cottage, quiet, clean, in a remote area but within easy driving distance of all the highlights of beautiful Northumberland. If it's discreet luxury and peace & quiet in a place all to yourself you're looking for, this is it!
RP - September 2021
What a place!! This was so much better than I had anticipated! The cottage is lovely and definitely ticked all the boxes for me. It was very peaceful despite being in a row of three cottages and is much larger than the pictures would suggest. The instructions and communication from the hosts were excellent and very clear. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it!
SM-W - September 2021
Lovely couples getaway, even with a couple of cottages around you would never know they were there with how peaceful it is. We messaged Willy & Eliza asking if we could access the gardens and within a few minutes we had a response, when we went into the gardens Willy came to introduce himself and explained the different areas we could go within the grounds. Would highly recommend!!
DS - August/September 2021
Fantastic little cottage in a superb location
IR - June 2021
A stunning cottage with amazing views. It had everything we needed and was so comfortable and very spacious. The complimentary bottle of Prosecco was an unexpected treat. Our dog Lily enjoyed special treats and toys. Her large dog crate easily fitted into the kitchen so she felt at home. There is a wonderful walk across the opposite field and through the gate. This takes you to the lake and wood where dogs can be off leads safely.
AP - May/June 2021
What an amazing place. We has a fabulous time. The location is perfect if you want a peaceful and quiet time. We will come back.
Name and address supplied - May 2021
What a great weekend away! Unfortunately we only booked for 2 nights and we were gutted when we had to leave. The photos honestly don't do this place justice. The thoughtful touches such as dog bed, treats, prosecco were a lovely surprise! Situated in a lovely village in beautiful countryside it's really quite idyllic!
LH - May 2021
I couldn't have been happier with my stay in the Lakeside Cottage Edward. The only downside was I didn't book it for longer as there is an abundance of things to see and do in not only the surrounding areas but Capheaton itself too. The cottage is beautiful the interior design was simply incredible and clearly had a lot of thought and attention put into it, the pictures do not do it total justice, it has a cosy yet spacious feel combining the old with the new. It's hard to sum up just how astonishing this place was in just this review but I can say I will be booking again as soon as possible. Thank you to Willy and Eliza for giving us the best start to summer.
BB - May 2021
We stayed in the Edward cottage. It has a lovely feel about it and is very spacious for two. Capheaton is a lovely quiet and peaceful small village with nice walks from the door step. Well worth a visit if you need some quiet time.
TC - April 2021
Just returned from a wonderful relaxing stay in Capheaton. Edward is a fabulous cottage with every home comfort. Mrs L particularly enjoyed the huge copper bath. And lovely to meet Willy and Louise too.
Mr and Mrs L - April 2021
Idyllic scenery, outstanding location, thoughtful touches, fantastic cottage... couldn't really have asked for more... highly recommended we'll be back!
AB - April 2021
An immaculately clean, luxurious property finished to an outstanding standard. Beautiful designer kitchenware, interior design is elegant with lots of thoughtful touches, even our dogs had their own dog bed, toys and a tin of treats. The surrounding views from the front of the property overlook a stunning lake and from the rear of the property across fields. We enjoyed a walk around the gardens at the Hall and Jane the Head Gardener was very friendly and knowledgeable telling us of the history of Capheaton Hall and its gardens. We would highly recommend a stay in this property for its beautiful location and a hint of luxury.
