'A unique Scottish hideaway'
Set in the tranquil foothills of the Cheviots and on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, Gypsy Palace is a beautiful detached self catering holiday cottage that can sleep up to four people and it has a fascinating history. Situated in the Scottish Borders at the most northerly point of the Pennine Way, the small village of Kirk Yetholm was regarded as the home of the gypsies of Scotland and Northern England for over 300 years; Gypsy Palace is famous the world over as the royal residence of both Queen Esther and her son and heir, King Charles Faa Blythe.
Our cottage is perfect for exploring both the Scottish borders with its stunning moors and quaint market towns, and Northumberland with its spectacular beaches and many castles. Holy Island, Alnwick and historic Berwick upon Tweed are a short drive away while Edinburgh is just 40 minutes by car.
While we have thoughtfully furnished and fully equipped the cottage to a very high standard, we were keen on retaining its unique, charismatic charm. Gypsy Palace has lots of unusual features such as its original 19th C arched window and the summerhouse which is constructed from an old railway station waiting room. These, along with its log burning stove, summerhouse, newly fitted kichen and bathroom, combined with magnificent views, Gypsy Palace makes an idyllic holiday retreat.
