Sunday Times Where Was I? competition

The prize:

The winner and up to nine guests will stay at The Boathouse, a secluded self-catering property on the banks of the River Tweed, in Northumberland. This dog-friendly, five-bedroom house sits at the end of a no-through lane, with the river flowing out front, and has open fires, a farmhouse kitchen and a slate-floored dining room inside. Outdoorsy activities beckon: exploring Berwick’s Elizabethan fortifications, going for moody walks on Bamburgh’s beach, or maybe even painting Norham Castle as Turner did. The pretty village of Norham itself is half a mile away. Scotland is just across the river.

The Boathouse is typical of Crabtree & Crabtree’s portfolio in Northumberland and the south of Scotland. Properties include seafront cottages, castles and barn conversions.

The prize must be taken before the end of 2021, subject to availability, excluding July and August, the May and October school half-terms, and the Christmas and New Year periods of both years.
