The Orvis

Gather the whole gang together at this luxurious, three-storey contemporary-style cottage sitting on a pretty complex of properties in the charming town of Amble. Sleeping eight people across four bedrooms, this is a sophisticated accommodation option for large families or groups of friends in search of a chic cottage to call home while they explore the beautiful Northumberland countryside together. Spend happy days exploring the quaint fishing harbour at Craster Village – and make sure you sample its famous kippers. In the evening, come home to the cottage’s lovely garden and host a sumptuous al fresco dinner before heading to the cottage’s second-floor balcony to take in the wonderful view of Warkworth Castle.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a generous hallway that leads you to the chic lounge, which offers some lovely views of the shared garden. Pass by the two-way electric flame-effect fire set in the dividing wall to get to the sleek open-plan kitchen/dining area to cook up something tasty for your loved ones. Gather everyone to eat at the elegant dining table or open the French door from the dining area to enjoy an al fresco dinner in the enclosed courtyard garden. After dinner, relax with a glass of wine in the cosy chalet-style lounge on the second floor. Don't forget to check out the balcony and the wonderful view of Warkworth Castle. Alternatively, pamper yourself in the sunken Italian spa bath – you can even watch TV as you enjoy your soak. The property has four stylish bedrooms – two king-size and one double on the first floor and one king-size bedroom on the second floor. Four en-suite shower rooms with walk-in showers, as well as one handy separate WC complete this stylish cottage’s layout.

Pack up a picnic for a day of traditional seaside fun at Alnmouth Beach (6 miles). Take your binoculars and you may be lucky enough to spot oystercatchers, curlews and redshanks. Alternatively, head off to explore Dunstanburgh Castle (12.5 miles). Perched on a dramatic headland, it was built in 1313 by Earl Thomas of Lancaster. Today it offers breathtaking views of the Northumberland coastline.
