Property code: OC-NB1986

Wake up to wonderful views each morning when staying in this rural Northumberland holiday home. The property sits within Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum, and guests are welcome to roam the gardens and estate throughout their stay. Situated in the Northumberland Coast AONB, the abode is just 1.5 miles from the Northumberland Coast Path which connects visitors to 62 miles of coastal scenery, spectacular walking routes and exceptional opportunities for bike riding. Finished to a quality standard with underfloor heating and plush comfortable mattresses, four guests are invited to rest and recharge in between exciting Northumberland activities when staying right here.

There’s an abundance of space for all to rest and recharge in this two-storey property, a place with a lounge and a suntrap conservatory to be enjoyed on the ground floor. Next door, you’ll find a farmhouse-styled kitchen/diner with quality fixtures and more than enough room to rustle up a delicious meal and sit around the dinner table together. Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a cloakroom, an external-access utility room and a full-sized shower room. Another full bathroom can be found upstairs, sitting alongside two king-size bedrooms. One is equipped with zip-and-link beds for added versatility. The garden at the rear is vast and includes outdoor furniture for dining alfresco.

Pass through your beautiful garden with space to relax as you head out for the day, venturing out on foot for a hiking expedition or in the car to reach pastures new. Your nearest beach, Longhoughton Beach, is a remote, sandy spot 3 miles away. It’s popular with surfers, sunbathers and walkers in cooler weather. Along the coastline, visit Craster (3 miles), a bustling fishing village that’s famous for its smoked kipper exports. From here, you can walk up to Dunstanburgh Castle (4.5 miles) and admire a far-reaching view out across Embleton Bay (5 miles).

Attractive cottage, very well equipped and furnished and very central for visiting places of interest, either by car or on foot. Would be lovely in spring to visit Arboretums azaleas and rhododendrons and gardens. Housekeeper (Anna) called on us and was very welcoming and helpful.
