Ticking a whole load of boxes for families of five, this marvellous Northumberland cottage invites you to make memories together with trips to the beach, rewarding seaside hikes and unforgettable boat trips. A real home-from-home, this two-storey cottage offers contemporary styling in light, bright rooms, with comfortable seating and beds to ensure maximum comfort throughout a long or short stay. The property is dog friendly with coastal walking routes on offer nearby and a marvellous sandy beach less than 500 metres from your doorstep. At the end of each day, you’ll find something appealing at the property, whether that’s warming up by the wood burner or catching the last of the day’s sun in the enclosed, lawned garden.

The ground floor of this property is extremely social with an open-plan kitchen/diner sitting just opposite the lovely lounge. Prepare delicious meals in the spacious kitchen, making use of all the countertop space before sitting around the dining table or stepping out through the French doors to dine in the garden. The enclosed outdoor space is equipped with furniture and a charcoal BBQ. The lounge offers plush sofas positioned around a Smart TV and a wood burner. The first of the bedrooms is an attractive king-size here on the ground floor, whilst the other two bedrooms, a twin and a single, can be found upstairs. A luxurious bathroom with underfloor heating serves all of the bedrooms, and there’s an additional ground-floor WC too.

Walk half a mile to Newton Bay Beach, a secluded cove where swimming and sunbathing are always on the cards in the summer. Another popular beach is Embleton Bay (3 miles), which is well worth a walk to admire the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (4 miles). Venturing in the opposite direction leads up the AONB coast to Beadnell (6 miles), an appealing seaside village with beaches and pubs to while away an afternoon in.

Excellent house with everything we could need (apart from an ironing board). Fantastic location within reach of some if the best beaches in the world. Joiners Arms really handy just a couple of doors down, excellent food and staff. Plenty of other eating options within a short drive, but the house was that well equipped we cooked in most nights.

The beds had 13.5 tog duvets on the bed, which were far too hot on a night, needed a lower tog duvet, but other than that the house was lovely and comfortable.

I sent an email to Original Properties soon after we arrived at the house and still haven't had a reply over a week later. House needs some hooks and towel rails upstairs.

Very happy with quality and location of property. A few faults were lack of info at property, eg could not work the TV easily and never managed to use iplayer etc which we wanted to do. No instructions for anything. Also toilet seat broken in downstairs toilet and no mirrors on walls in bedroom. Missing entirely from main bedroom and in second bedrRead moreoom it had been taken from wall and randomly propped up against a cabinet. Had a feeling that we were staying in someone's house where they had just left for the week rather than an authentic holiday property with welcome pack, visitors book etc. Garden not pleasant to sit in due to noise from AC at pub and a bit grotty too. But a stunning location and overall nice house but not very good value for money. Hide

Odd to have no information pack eg bin day, etc in the cottage and no mention of a generator 20 yards away running continuously in the back which made sitting out the back a negative experience
