This lovely two-storey stone property, located on a farm steading and perched above the glistening Embleton Bay, is ideal for couples looking for a restful and active coastal retreat. Enjoy the magnificent views of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from inside the cottage and from the patio area. Saunter down to the spectacular sandy beach below, 500 metres away, and stroll along the shoreline, exploring the rocky outcrops and taking in the views of Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance. Venture to the unspoiled fishing village of Craster (3.5 miles): taste the local delicacy of oak-smoked kippers, walk around the tranquil cove, and visit the local art galleries.
This pretty cottage is brimming with traditional charm and contemporary comforts and boasts large windows that flood the property with natural light. There are soothing coastal tones throughout. Downstairs opens onto a compact kitchen with all the appliances you need to prepare a romantic meal to share in the cosy dining space. The en-suite double bedroom with French doors opening onto the patio is on the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find the light and airy lounge where you can relax on the plush seating and watch TV. Throw open the balcony doors and breathe in the salty ocean breeze, or in the cooler months, pop a log on the open fire and bask in the warmth and relaxing glow. Outside, spend warm afternoons sipping a drink on the patio, admiring beautiful coastal views, and unwinding on the outdoor furniture.
This section of the coast has endless sweeps of beautiful beaches to discover, and the sandy stretch at Warkworth (13.5 miles) is must-see. Discover the area’s history at Bamburgh (11.5 miles) with its magnificent castle, then enjoy a bite to eat at one of the local eateries. Wildlife lovers should head to Seahouses (8.5 miles) and take a boat trip around the Farne Islands, famous for its seabird colonies.
