Escape in style at this exquisite holiday home just outside the historic village of Belford. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s ideal for small families or groups of friends searching for a luxurious retreat to call home while exploring the Northumberland coastline together. Pack up a picnic and spend a lovely day at Ross Back Sands – you may be lucky enough to see seals basking on the shore. In the evening, return to your cottage’s patio garden to share a fun al fresco dinner.

From the private parking area (there’s room for two cars) head to your gorgeous country cottage. Store your outdoor gear in the spacious hallway and then head to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Take a seat to appreciate the Scandinavian-inspired decor, the stone accent wall and the contemporary free-standing wood burner. When it’s time to eat, head to the kitchen area and rustle up some dinner to share at the elegant dining table. Alternatively, make a beeline for the enclosed patio garden and enjoy a casual al fresco meal. When you’re ready, head upstairs to retire. There’s a glamorous king-size master bedroom with striking, high-vaulted ceiling and large windows, as well as a versatile super-king-size bedroom that can be converted to twin upon request. Both have en-suites – a shower over the bath for the master bedroom, and a modern en-suite shower room for the super-king-size bedroom.

Head into Bamburgh (4 miles) to explore its fabulous 12th-century castle and stroll along Bamburgh Beach, which offers stunning views as far as the Farne Islands. Or cross the famous tidal causeway to Lindisfarne (15.5 miles) to explore its medieval priory and castle.

Really lovely property and so well equipped. Easy 5 minute drive to Bamburgh. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would be happy to return again in the future.

Quiet location. A car is needed to get around sightseeing but also for shops. The kitchen table seemed small for 4 and the pots we on the small side for cooking. We temporarily lost power on the night of Storm Floris, but the owner was quickly in touch and resolved the matter with the energy supplier. We had an enjoyable stay.
