About this property

Head down to the sandy beach each morning and on to the bustling harbour with working fishing boats and regular boat trips to the Farne Islands to see a range of birds, seals, and puffins (from April to late July) and explore the friendly village amenities. Ramble along the coastal path to Bamburgh Castle (2 miles), play on the vast beach, and browse the shops, pubs, renowned eateries, and the Grace Darling Museum. Stroll along beautiful Beadnell Bay (3 miles) to watch the water sports and sunsets, or enjoy lunch in the beachside cafe or in the village pub/restaurant and bistro. Cross the causeway to visit Holy Island (15 miles) and inland, discover Alnwick Castle, the famous gardens, and its popular market town (17 miles). This welcoming, spacious home from home is in a quiet area of the village and provides comfortable social space for multi generation families with views across the open countryside towards Bamburgh Castle and wood flooring throughout the ground floor. Head through the front door into the hallway where you can leave your walking shoes and boots. The bright and spacious lounge has plenty of comfortable seating arranged around the cosy wood burner where you can relax together after a day out exploring the area. Choose to watch TV or a DVD from the family friendly selection provided or sit quietly at the far end of the lounge with your favourite drink and a good book from the well stocked bookshelves.
