A Northumberland cottage has been listed among 20 of the cosiest to stay in the UK for a break this winter.
Skylark Cottage at Laverock Law Cottages was recommended in an article on Guardian Travel, and its owners have already seen a big increase in bookings. Dave and Harvest Harris-Jones have already had plenty to celebrate this year; winning gold for Ethical, Responsible and Sustainable Tourism at the North East Tourism Awards, being nominated in the same category for the 2023 awards; and achieving the "dream" of completing their heart shaped treehouse.
However, it wasn't the treehouse that took the title, instead it was one of three traditional labourers' cottages that has been transformed into a cosy cottage for a weekend away. Dave said he and Harvest are delighted to have been recognised, explaining: "Being in the Guardian was a great privilege, we had hoped that we would be picked up by them one day for our work with sustainable tourism and wellbeing."
