Beautiful property overlooking the sea. Clean, comfortable beds. The cottage comes with everything you’ll need and many things you won’t need! Excellent communication from the host. Can’t fault it!

Lovely beach-side cottage

We enjoyed being beside the sea. What the weather wasn't great we walked the coastal path to Alnmouth and cycled to Craster. The cottage was warm and perfect for relaxing after a long day outside. We cooked meals together for seven of us and enjoyed board games in the evenings.

Perfect family cottage on the coast

Stunning location, right on the seafront. Very relaxing. Amazing variety of birds to watch right from the comfort of the garden!! The cottage is beautifully decorated and laid out, (nice modern kitchen-dishwasher, washing machine & tumble drier)everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Lovely walks on your doorstep, pub/fish restaurant (amazing food & service)literally a few doors down!!It's not too far a drive from gardens to walk round, Alnwick castle & gardens. Would definitly stay here again!!!!
