Old School
Once the school for the village of Howick, this pretty one bed cottage has retained its charm and character, with spacious living accommodation over two floors, set in a peaceful village location, with a large enclosed garden to enjoy the sun.
Having walking access to Howick Hall’s Arboretum from the cottage, you are welcome to walk dogs before 10.30am or after 6pm in the arboretum and have direct access to the gardens where dogs are permitted Monday to Wednesday during seasonal opening hours. A short walk from the cottage and you are on the Heritage Coastline with walks on the Northumbrian Coastal Path heading north to Craster, a pretty fishing village or south to Alnmouth.
Slightly further afield is Alnwick, a market town with a range of eateries and the fabulous Alnwick Castle and Gardens.

The Douglass's - August / September 2025 "Lovely cottage, this is our 3rd visit and more to come."
The Webbs - August 2025 "The cottage is comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is in a very peaceful and picturesque area with lovely walks straight from the cottage. Having access to Howick Hall gardens was a real bonus. It certainly provided us with a holiday to remember."
The Mellers - July 2025 "The Old School House is very comfortable and homely with everything you could possibly need. Lovely and totally enclosed garden which is ideal if you have dogs. The village of Howick is idyllic and very close to the coast path and some lovely beaches especially Sugar Sands. Having access to Howick Halls arboretum is a bonus for some lovely walks and Deer spotting."
