The Cook's Cottage

With uninterrupted views across the Aln Valley, in a location close to some of the best beaches in the area, this immaculate cottage with lovely rural views is the perfect base for couples or a family to explore the Northumberland coast. Relax and unwind in the garden watching the horses and birdlife; enjoy walking, cycling, golfing, and fishing; and explore historic castles or picturesque countryside villages.

Come rain or shine, this inviting stone-built cottage offers a warm welcome to all. Central to this home is the contemporary and quite fabulous open-plan kitchen/diner where you can enjoy spending time with loved ones over a shared meal whilst drinking in the beautiful county views. Step outside into the amazing wrap-around garden with a patio area at the front and a large, lawned garden and patio area to the rear where you can sit in the sunshine with your morning coffee or dine alfresco on a warm summer’s evening. After dinner, retire to the cosy lounge to relax on comfortable seating in front of the warming wood burner. At bedtime, head upstairs to find two spacious and inviting bedrooms with comfortable beds for a peaceful night’s sleep.

This beautiful cottage is located less than 4 miles from the historic town of Alnwick. Don’t miss the town’s market day every Thursday and Saturday for fantastic local produce, and there are independent shops, a theatre, cafes, bars and restaurants to sample too. Take a tour of Alnwick Castle or visit the famed Alnwick Gardens, home to the world's largest Tai Haku cherry orchard and a 'Grand Cascade' comprising 120 water jets as well as the world's largest treehouse restaurant. Stroll barefoot on Alnmouth’s sandy beach (2.5 miles) and browse the village shops, pubs and cafes. Alternatively, discover Warkworth Castle (5 miles) and the friendly port of Amble (6 miles) with its renowned seafood restaurants.
