Overview
Property code: 77990

Beautiful cottage in a pretty village, close to the fabulous heritage coastline offering breath-taking scenery and fantastic beaches on your doorstep. Perfect base to explore the spectacular Northumberland AONB.

Fantastically located for beach days, this home is a wonderful destination for lovers of salty, sandy days. Greeted by a lovely welcome pack, make yourselves at home and settle in the inviting, open-plan living space which creates a tranquil heart of the home, perfect for both sociable and relaxing evenings. Sleeping four over two bedrooms, bring your dog along and have a ball hunting out fantastic stick-chasing spots with all the family.

Climb two steps to make your way into this cosy cottage and leave any extra layers and shoes in the handy utility room, great for wiping down muddy paws after days out and about. Head through to the kitchen where a coffee machine is a welcome sight and there are plenty of appliances to help you cook up a storm. Dish up at the table beside the French doors or step down and onto the patio for an al fresco feast in the garden. Breaking up the space in the living area is a warming wood burner with logs provided, perfect for lighting on chilly days after time spent exploring. Settle down in front of the TV or rifle through the cupboard which is stacked with games, DVDs, puzzles and books, before enjoying a family evening in the bright lounge. Say goodnight and climb stairs to the first-floor bedrooms, both of which have beautiful views over the garden. Enjoy a soak in the contemporary family bathroom before taking little ones to play in the treehouse (shared with other properties on-site). There is off-road parking for two cars.

Escape to the coast for a day full of sand, sea and surf. Make a splash in the water at Beadnell Bay (7 miles) where you can try your hand at water sports or hop on a boat from Seahouses (7.5 miles) to the magical Farne Islands which are brimming with wildlife, including seals and puffins. Take to the green at one of the local golf courses, including the course at Bamburgh (7 miles) which has magnificent sea views. Or visit Alnwick Castle and Gardens for a Harry Potter-inspired day.

We had a wonderful time when we stayed here. Everything we needed when we came back after a long day. The children loved the tree house and the adults loved the wildlife! Hedgehogs, bats, rabbits and not so wild peacocks!

Wonderful, wonderful cottage in a great location. Everything you could want from a holiday let. Comfortable, cosy and convenient for exploring the area but at the end of daily adventures, resting in the peace and quiet of lovely surroundings

The cottage was very warm and welcoming and had everything you would have at your own home. The food package they left was a kind gesture and plenty of logs as the Northumbrian weather turned while we were there, and it made the cottage feel so cosy.

the Butter Churn is well presented and has everything we needed for a great family holiday. The setting is quiet and relaxing but only 10 minutes from a town or beautiful beach. I would recommend to anyone ( we are a family from 3-60years and were all happy!)

A gorgeous property situated in beautiful grounds within easy reach of excellent beaches and major tourist attractions. Tollfield farm kennels provided a great option for day boarding, allowing access to tourist attractions in Alnwick. The property was well equipped and incredibly comfortable. The smart TVs kept the children occupied before we headRead moreed out for action packed days in the surrounding area. The pub was excellent and locals incredibly welcoming. We will be back Hide

Gorgeous little property in a fabulous location. Stayed twice and will be coming back. The garden, play area and free logs for the wood burner really make it special. The bathroom is a bit small but it doesnt detract from an otherwise ideal property.
