Return from long coastal and countryside walks to enjoy indoor/outdoor living at this enticing Northumberland retreat. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom converted farm building has been creatively designed to offer you and your loved one everything you need during your stay. With bi-folding doors to an enclosed garden and just 3.5 miles from a dog-friendly beach, this single-storey hideaway at Christon Bank, 8.5 miles from Alnwick, is also perfect for anyone wishing to bring a four-legged friend.

Step inside to discover beautifully finished accommodation with underfloor heating. Enter via the boot room, where you can slip off your walking boots and pop damp clothing into the washing machine. There is also a handy shower room here. Make your way into the splendid, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This lovely space has a high vaulted ceiling, beams and bi-folding doors that you can pull back to create seamless indoor/outdoor living. There are also French doors to throw open on hot summer days. Cuddle up on the sofa in front of feelgood movies on the Smart TV. Prepare delicious meals for two with the fresh Northumberland produce you have sourced. Dine at the table inside or out under the stars on fine evenings. When you are ready to retire for the night, head on through to your lovely double bedroom, which has an en-suite bathroom. Enjoy coffee out on the patio on sunny mornings. From here, two steps lead up to a lovely lawn. There is off-road parking for one car.

Head into Embleton, 2.5 miles away, to stock up on groceries and dine out. The great sandy expanse of scenic Embleton Bay is just 1 mile further on. Walk out to the striking ruins of 14th-century Dunstanburgh Castle, 5.5 miles away. You can walk out along the Northumberland Coast Path from here too.

The cottage was not welcoming. The cracked and stained floors were stark and the presence of numerous plants was not good to look at. The sofa was so uncomfortable. Ikea was well represented. We left before our week was up. Sorry but its not 4 star.

Cozy cottage, a 5-minute drive from Embleton and Embleton Bay. Plenty of room for a couple and dog friendly. We found the cottage to be well equipped.

Absolutely perfect in every way! We loved the layout of the cottage. It was extremely clean, spacious, well equipped, warm and cozy. The utility room with shower was really handy after our sandy, doggy, beach walks. The bed was really comfy with a good sized ensuite bathroom. The outside area was idyllic with a lovely furnished patio that openeRead mored up to a very spacious lawned area that our crazy Cockapoo loved to run around. The location was really good for visiting local villages! We would definitely recommend this place and hopefully, will be returning to soon! Hide
