Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

When we first visited Northumberland on a family holiday in 2000, we fell so in love with the region that we bought a house here, Charlies Place.  

Since then, we have welcomed over 1,000 visitors, and it has been our pleasure to share with so many people the outstanding natural beauty of Northumberland's countryside and coast. 

Charlie's Place has now become Charlie's Cottages - and from 2024 we have three cottages for our guests to choose from, catering to different guests' needs.

Owner of Charlie's Cottages

Buying a little cottage in our absolute favourite county was one of the best decisions we have made.

To share this special place with others is a must and a joy.

Northumberland is magical...

Katherine Whitworth

Owner of Charlie's Cottages

We hope to move permanently to Northumberland in the future but until then we make the most of any opportunities to visit this beautiful county and it is a privilege to share our love of this special place with so many others.

Ray Whitworth

Owner of Charlie's Cottages

I have loved Northumberland ever since my first caravan holidays, when I was at school. I really enjoy sharing this wonderful county with friends, family and guests, it's a true privilege!
