Seize the opportunity for a relaxing seaside retreat at this four-person lodge on Northumberland’s jaw-dropping coast. Located in Newton-by-the-Sea (considered to be one of the prettiest villages in Northumberland), it boasts a whole range of brilliant on-site amenities, as well as great proximity to local attractions, it’s 0.5 miles from the local pub and 100 metres from a huge sandy beach. A year-round haven as perfect for summer retreats as winter escapes, this property will appeal to all generations looking to unplug and recharge.
Head up four steps to the raised veranda and enter the light, spacious hallway of this single-storey cottage. Upon your entrance, you will find a long, galley kitchen/diner with a range of appliances and accoutrements waiting off the hall. Further on, there is a separate lounge area with wood burner-effect electric fire and windows overlooking the gardens. Great for chilled mornings and early evenings, two comfortable sofas beckon here to take the weight off as you flick through the pages of a book, listen to music or watch TV. Completing the picture, this lodge also has two bedrooms and a bathroom.
On days when you want to stay close to your home-from-home, you can sit out on the veranda and wander the shared gardens to the outdoor children’s play area, where youngsters will have a whale of a time playing on the swings, slide and climbing frame. To discover all about the area’s history, Dunstanburgh Castle is only 6 miles away, Bamburgh Castle is 9 miles and Alnwick Castle is 10.5 miles away. For a great choice of eateries and the chance to take a boat trip to the Farne Islands, visit Seahouses (7.5 miles).
