An attractive, two-bedroom cottage, this delightful retreat nestles between Seahouses and North Sunderland. Sleeping four guests, the sun-soaked holiday home is perfect for couples and small families wishing to be close to the beach. Bring your canine companion and walk less than 1 mile to reach the dog-friendly sands. From here you can pick up the picturesque Northumberland Coast Path or head 3 miles along the beach when the tide is out to Bamburgh. Visit dramatic Bamburgh Castle, in its commanding position up on the rocks, while you are here. Seahouses offers a good selection of interesting shops and eateries. It also has a harbour where you can book wildlife-spotting boat trips out to the Farne Islands. Take time out to visit Alnwick, 15 miles away, where you can tour its castle, made famous by the Harry Potter movies, and stroll around the beautiful Alnwick Garden, with its impressive fountains.
Step into the cottage via the foyer, where you can pull off shoes, then head down the hall. Wander on in to find accommodation filled with sunlight. The lounge, with its bay window, is to the front of the house. Here you can fire up the wood burner during autumn and winter stays and recline on the comfortable seating as you plan the following day’s exciting activities. Play a game or watch TV instead. A door from here leads through to the stylish lounge/kitchen/diner at the rear of the house. There is additional soft seating where you can sip a cup of coffee as you chat to the chef. Open the doors to the large, glass-fronted patio so everyone can wander outside with ease on fine days. The immaculate, south-east-facing kitchen space enjoys glorious sunshine, making it a pleasant place to prepare snacks and meals. Gather at the wooden table to enjoy your feasts. There is also a utility room and a separate WC downstairs. As each superb day draws to a close, climb the stairs up to your relaxing bedrooms. The king-size room benefits from a large window and is filled with natural light. There is good storage in here. The twin is smaller but also enjoys lots of sunshine. The family bathroom has both a bath and a shower to ensure you have the choice of a long soak or quick rinse.
The beautiful garden is the jewel in the crown of this appealing retreat. Unwind on the large patio over a cold drink or delicious meal out in the fresh air. Grill local produce on the BBQ. Take a few steps down to the luscious lawn and pretty flower beds. There is private, driveway parking for one car, with additional on-street parking close by, subject to availability.
