Extremely comfortable in every room, this lived-in property in the Northumberland Coast AONB offers an exceptional place to escape to with family at your side. Offering ample space inside and a large lawned garden with spectacular views, this place is well suited to holidays through the warm, sunny months and cold weather days. The property accommodates a total of six guests and is dog friendly with the outside area fully enclosed and secure. You’ve got the Northumberland Coast Path just metres away and a scattering of beautiful sandy beaches within a half-mile walk.

There’s a real home-from-home feel in this inviting semi-detached cottage, complete with soft lighting and extremely comfortable furnishings. The open-plan ground floor is laid out with the lounge and kitchen together and the dining table in the suntrap conservatory just next door. The lounge is an ultimately cosy space to curl up, with comfortable seating and a wood burner – just switch on the Smart TV and hunt for your favourite entertainment. You can of course enjoy evenings outdoors, taking drinks onto the patio to relax as the sun goes down. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find all three bedrooms upstairs, one super-king-size, one king-size and a final double. There’s also a bathroom on each floor. The garden is enclosed and offers a picnic-style table for alfresco dining.

Three sandy beaches can be reached in 0.5 miles or less, including Football Hole Beach which is less than 500 metres from home. This white sand beach is fabulous with clear water, space for ball games and sunbathing and the occasional seal, puffin or dolphin to spot from the water’s edge. Another stunning beach can be found at Embleton Bay (3 miles), accessible along the coastal pathway. Offering views of Dunstanburgh Castle (4 miles), this curved beach is a superb spot with wildlife-packed dunes to explore next to the sandy shore.

Perfectly spacious,comfortable accomodation. Perfect location for visiting lots of attractions by car. Walking distance from a lovely beach at Low Newton which we enjoyed frequently. Perfect for our family including our two dogs- small, enclosed garden was great. The Joiners Arms is a lovely gastro pub a stones throw away.

A very roomy, well fitted cottage at an excellent location. Ideal for our family including the dog. A great location with only a 10 minute walk to beaches with access to longer walks along coastline. Additional bonus is the proximity to the Joiners Arms which is superb. Cottage is situated on a very quiet road with good parking.

The property was very well equipped and everything was comfortable and if good quality. Great location. Only thing I would change is to cut the lawn which was 2 foot high!

We love this cozy property. The only drawback was that the shower continued to leak despite the prompt response from your handyman
