Property code: OC-80484

Just 100 metres from the beach, this stunning seaside retreat is located on the outer reaches of Newton-by-the-Sea – a village considered to be one of the prettiest in Northumberland. One of several lodges within private grounds, it has space for eight people to indulge in a relaxing stay in welcoming self-catering accommodation, topped off with use of brilliant on-site amenities and local attractions (a great village pub is just 0.5 miles away!). With access to the beach and lots of walking opportunities nearby, this property will particularly appeal to outdoor enthusiasts looking to get off the beaten track.

 

The ideal base for group gatherings, this wonderful lodge has it all. To make yourself at home, enter through the hallway and wander to the kitchen/diner for a brew. Well-appointed with everything you could need for homecooked meals and featuring a large dining table, this space will be a haven from morning ‘til night. A unique feature of this former wheelhouse, the impressive circular lounge retains many of its original features and enjoys lots of natural light from six large windows. Spend lazy mornings and rainy afternoons curled up here with a book, warmed by the heat of the wood burner. Separated over the ground and first floors are four bedrooms and three bathrooms – each one tastefully decorated and furnished.

 

Completely self-contained with a shared outdoor play area and games room and superb sandy beach a short walk through the dunes, this property has something for all generations. Venturing further afield, you’ll find plenty more places of interest, including Alnwick (10 miles) with its famous castle, Seahouses (7.5 miles) with its pretty harbour and the sweeping Northumberland Coast Path. For more adventures, Beadnell Bay is 7 miles away, Bamburgh Castle is 10 miles away and Alnmouth Beach is 12 miles away.

If you like to be "away from it all" then this is a perfect cottage with 3 minute walk to a virtually empty beach at Beadnell Bay. Such a lovely quiet location and yet not far to drive to other villages. Ideal for walkers as, from the cottage, you can walk to High and Low Newton by the Sea; Dunstanburgh Castle and Beadnell. It's also wonderful for Read morebird watchers with bird hides on Beadnell and Embleton beaches, not to mention house martins and peacocks round the cottage. Hide
