The
site of the 4 luxury 5 star self catering cottages holiday
properties was originally an old colliery yard building which closed in
the mid 1900’s after fifty five years as employer to many people of the
Scremerston community. The colliery building was sold and re-opened as a
service garage for cars and agricultural vehicles. In 1996 a bungalow was
also built on the site.
Following
re-routing of the A1, the once busy road in front of “Woodlands” became
a minor access road to the local Cocklawburn Beach and returned the area
to a peaceful and tranquil location, surrounded mainly by woods and farm
fields
In
2000, a new owner set about landscaping some of the meadow and surrounding
areas, reinstating the stone walls of the main drive. In September 2004,
the present owners, Dee and Martin Colam, purchased the site, continued
developing the estate and gained planning permission to build a new full
timber office and 4 musical themed holiday properties.
Each property
pays homage to well known composers, namely Elgar, Vivaldi, Bernstein and
Chopin, all given a different feel through the subtle use of materials,
colours, decoration, fixtures, fittings and furnishing
At the heart of “Composers” is the passion of its owners to create something unique and very special for their guests. A destination where visitors quickly feel at ease be it for a weekend break, a longer midweek stay or a full holiday
The completion
of the “Composers” project provides the ideal place in which to relax, to
take advantage of luxurious holiday facilities whilst enjoying the beauty
of the surrounding coastline and countryside in a holiday destination which
is “simply superb”
