Good to Know

The Tea Cosy is the daytime tea room at 23 Northumberland Street, run by the same family as Bistro 23, which takes over the room on selected evenings. Expect brunch, fresh coffee, homemade cakes, soups, sandwiches and afternoon tea.

Why it's on our list: it's consistently one of the best-rated tea rooms in the village. Reviewers mention big teacakes, excellent crab sandwiches, good carrot cake and young staff who are friendly and helpful.

Worth knowing: it's closed on Tuesdays, and opening hours vary through the year, so ring ahead if you're making a special trip.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
