Designed to complement the characterful original features with stylish contemporary interiors and charming coastal touches, this beautiful barn conversion nestled in the sleepy hamlet of Tughall Steads is a haven of pure tranquillity. This is the perfect base for families and groups of friends looking to discover the delights of the Northumberland coast.
A high vaulted ceiling, coastal colour palette and roaring wood burner in the homely lounge create a warming ambience that beckons weary travellers to unwind on the plush sofas and share stories of the day’s adventures. If you decide to eat in, the contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner offers plenty of space for culinary geniuses to get creative with new local flavours and enjoy their efforts with the whole gang seated around the rustic farmhouse-style dining table. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, retire to the crisp linens of the ground-floor double bedroom, or head upstairs to find an en-suite king-size bedroom, and a quirky mezzanine twin room with low ceilings, a glass front and theatre-style curtains. Outside, soak up the last of the evening sunshine by dining alfresco in the decked courtyard amongst the cottage-style planting.
The quiet coastal hamlet of Tughall Steads, nestled between the villages of Newton-by-the-Sea and Beadnell, offers an array of scenic walking trails to discover. Those who love life on the water can dive into various water sports, including surfing, kayaking and wakeboarding at Beadnell Bay 4.5 miles away or hop aboard a boat trip to the Farne Islands from the harbourside village of Seahouses, 5 miles away. Back on dry land, culture vultures can explore the iconic coastal fortress of Bamburgh Castle (7.5 miles), the second-largest inhabited castle in the country at Alnwick (10.5 miles), or reputedly England’s most haunted castle at Chillingham (18 miles).
