Enjoy a peaceful retreat with your loved ones at this gorgeous single-storey cottage surrounded by the rolling hills on a working farm in the Craster and Embleton area. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s an ideal retreat for families or groups searching for a quaint and quirky cottage while they explore Northumberland's stunning coastline and countryside together. In the evening, come home to the cottage's lovely courtyard garden and dine alfresco with your loved ones as the stars come out.
Step inside this traditional stone cottage and you’ll be greeted by an inviting sun-drenched lounge with an impressive skylight. Take a moment to relax on the sofa in the sitting area while you soak up the garden views from the wide glass doors, then head to the country-style kitchen to whip up some tasty dinner. Gather everyone together in the elegant dining area to eat while you take in the warmth from the glowing wood burner. Alternatively, make your way to the garden to dine alfresco while you admire the spectacular country views. After dinner, head back indoors to chill out with a glass of wine in the spacious lounge. At the end of the day, there are two beautifully styled double bedrooms with period features to retire to.
Head 4 miles to the pretty village of Craster, where you can pop into a local restaurant to enjoy a plate of the village's famous Craster kippers for breakfast – apparently they're the breakfast item of choice for the Royal Family. Spend a fascinating day exploring the medieval ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (5.5 miles), which is perched dramatically on the coastline. Alternatively, pack a picnic and head to Alnmouth’s sandy beach (11 miles). From there you can take a short drive to Warkworth Castle (4.5 miles) or Alnwick Castle (5 miles).
