An elegant farmhouse cottage with tranquil sweeping views across the Northumbrian coastline, this seaside oasis is the perfect hideaway for small families seeking a peaceful retreat. Pack a picnic and stroll along the St. Oswald’s Way trail to nearby Warkworth Beach, then grab some snacks and unwind on the patio to watch as the sun dips below the horizon.
This charming property is brimming with character and features local artist pieces, arched windows, and exposed wooden beams. Kick off sandy shoes after a long day of adventuring and pad into the light-dappled, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Whip up a well-earned supper in the sleek shaker-style kitchen and then wine and dine around the round wooden table overlooking the leafy garden. Retreat to the inviting lounge and fire up the wood burner-effect gas fire then sink onto the plush leather sofas with an evening tipple and a sweet treat. There is also a handy utility space for refreshing mucky outdoor accessories. Retire upstairs to the inviting sleeping areas, consisting of a king-size and a twin, each with beamed ceilings and cosy soft furnishings. On balmy afternoons, get lunch sizzling on the charcoal BBQ in the lawned garden or settle in for an astronomical treat beneath the acclaimed Dark Skies. Take advantage of the path leading directly to the beach below and enjoy crisp morning strolls along the shoreline.
Venture to nearby Amble to saunter by the harbourside and listen to the fishermen’s boats clinking in the water then refuel with an al fresco lunch at one of the rustic seafood shacks, 3 miles. Load up on your local knowledge with a visit to the opulent Alnwick Castle and Gardens, 6 miles, or explore Craster and trial the local delicacy of smoked kippers, 10 miles.
