Conveniently located close to the stunning Northumberland coastline and the national park, there is always plenty to do and see. The friendly local farm shop, restaurant, and delicatessen (0.2 miles) serve meals and tasty treats, and there are pubs and shops in the village (0.5 miles). Take your binoculars to Budle Bay (3.5 miles) to see the amazing bird life and head to Bamburgh (5 miles) to explore the magnificent Bamburgh Castle, the Grace Darling Museum, and to stroll along the wide, sandy beach. Take a boat trip to the Farne Islands from Seahouses fishing harbour and cross the causeway to explore the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (13 miles). Explore England’s northernmost town of Berwick (13 miles), or head into the Scottish Borders, and spend a day at Alnwick Castle and Gardens (14 miles).

These beautifully converted former stables on the outskirts of the village now provide an immaculate, well-equipped, single-storey holiday cottage that has been finished to an excellent standard and offers guests a truly comfortable stay. Enter the property via the boot/utility room, you can hang your outdoor clothing here and sit down to remove your walking boots. There is a useful sink to wash off any mud or sand collected after a day of exploring the area. Head down the hallway into the bright, airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with dual-aspect windows, skylights, exposed beams, and beautiful wood flooring. A glazed door leads from here to the patio garden. Relax on comfortable seating in front of the warming wood burner whilst watching a movie on the Smart TV or enjoy one of the books or games provided. There are also OS maps and guidebooks to help you plan your activities. If you like to eat in, the contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a delicious meal, and a generous dining table where you can enjoy sitting together for sociable mealtimes. The two well-appointed bedrooms are off the hallway, each with plenty of storage space. The king-size bedroom has a zip-and-link bed which can be made up as twins on request. There is a TV and solar-powered blinds at the skylight window. The double bedroom also has a TV and an en-suite shower room. A family shower room completes the accommodation.

Outside, the south-facing patio garden is a lovely place to sit with your morning coffee listening to the birds, or at nighttime to gaze at the starry sky. There is outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining, and a gate leads to the driveway.

The Stables is an amazing cottage, quite central to many parts of Northumberland and the coast line. It was clean, comfortable and very cosy. We were provided with milk, cleaning essentials, towels, tea towels, etc. Everything was carefully thought out in the cottage, books, games, a box filled with where to go whilst staying, emergency details,Read more etc. We had an amazing time and would definately go back again sometime to revisit and explore more.
