Discover the unique beauty of the Northumberland countryside and coast from this charming stone retreat in Rock. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, dog-friendly cottage offers year-round comfort, thanks to its crackling wood burner and enclosed garden. Venture 5 miles to the beautiful beach at Embleton Bay or 6 miles to the cobbled market town of Alnwick.
Take two steps up to open the door and find yourselves welcoming hall, where you can shed your walking boots or beach sandals. Move on through to the lovely lounge, which has a honey-coloured wooden floor and French doors to the garden, making it the perfect place to gather your thoughts after each excursion. Light the wood burner in the corner on chilly days, then enjoy its cosy warmth. Find your favourite programme on the Smart TV or simply catch up on each other’s news. When the chef in your party is ready to whip up the next meal, the kitchen/diner awaits. This equally stylish space has been well equipped to meet your needs and encompasses an elegant table. Open the outside door here too, on sunny days. Also downstairs are a utility room and a family shower room. All three bedrooms, two king-sizes and a twin, which has a double bed and a single, are on the floor above. Your family bathroom is also here. Take any children or pets out into the garden to play. Grill supper on the BBQ and enjoy fresh coffee from the machine in the summerhouse afterwards. There is off-road parking here for two cars.
Head 5 miles from the cottage to see the dramatic remains of Dunstanburgh Castle. While you are here, follow a section of the Northumberland Coast Path. Spend a pleasant afternoon at the exquisite Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum, 4 miles from your base.
