This reverse level property is located in Widdrington Station, which is ideally located for exploring the Northumberland coast, famously known for its natural beauty and history.

Head into Amble to wander the independent shops, dine out and spend time at the Harbour Village, with its spectrum of outlets. From here, you can also book cruises out to Coquet Island, home to thousands of puffins and other seabirds.

Approach the property through gates and enter at ground level, heading up stairs to the open plan lounge/ kitchen/ dining area. To the left of the stairs is a large well equipped kitchen with oven, hob, fridge/ freezer, microwave and dishwasher. You can even pop your clothes in for a spin after a muddy walk as there is a washing machine and tumble dryer as well. The dining table is a great space to sit and enjoy a meal. The other side of this large open plan space is the lounge where you can put your feet up and watch a good bit of TV on the leather corner sofa.  Heading back down the stairs you will find a king-size bedroom with en-suite bathroom and w/c and a double bedroom with en-suite shower rom and w/c.

From the lounge you can step out on to the delightful balcony terrace, sit and enjoy a morning cup of coffee or a relaxing glass of wine.

The cottage is in an excellent position- beaches nearby, towns nearby and plenty of National Trust and English Heritage sites within a 45 min drive. Plenty of parking and the balcony was an asset- a real sun trap!

We really enjoyed our stay with our two dogs. As two friends we appreciated the two double bedrooms with en-suites. We enjoyed lots of places to walk the dogs, a short drive to the beach and easy access to many interesting places. As always, Northumberland scores very highly.

We found this cottage disapointing, there was a lot of small maintenance issues that need addressing i.e replacing light bulbs, repair to shower controls etc. It is also advertised with Sky TV but that was non existent. Would be nice to have a greeting from the owners, rather than trying to approach them. Also a general information book in the cottRead moreage is needed. Cleanliness not great, and bedding looked very used, and no mattress protector on one of the beds. Surprising reviews frm prev guests ! Hide

The property is ideally situated to explore the North East coast and historic houses and landmarks. The property is comfortable with great views across the fields, one evening we watched a barn owl searching for food.

A lovely clean, spacious and comfortable upside down cottage. It had everything we needed. The hosts were very nice and left a great welcome pack of goodies.
