For a holiday of seaside adventures and countryside downtime, stay at this welcoming cottage in the tranquil hamlet of Tynely. A lovely choice for couples, friends or families looking to explore the very best of Northumberland. There’s a pub and restaurant 1 mile away in Ellingham, and a shop within 3 miles for picnic supplies. Your nearest beach, Low Newton-by-the-Sea (5.5 miles), is known for its charming cream-washed fishermen’s cottages and beachside pub for drinks and lunch, and bring your binoculars to the Newton Pool bird hide. Stroll on the beach, picnic in the dunes and try water sports at Beadnell Bay (6 miles), or head to Seahouses (7.5 miles) for boat trips to the Farne Islands and a tasty seafood lunch. Visit Alnwick Castle (8.5 miles) and Alnwick Gardens, with the impressive Grand Cascade fountain. Fancy an island outing? Drive across the Holy Island Causeway (16 miles) to discover Lindisfarne’s priory ruins and castle.
On arrival, step through the front door into a handy hallway, where you can leave coats and outdoor shoes before settling into holiday mode. The light-filled lounge/diner of this single-storey home has comfortable seating gathered around a cosy wood burner, with a Smart TV and DVD player for relaxing together in the evenings. A dining table in one corner is all ready for shared mealtimes. The kitchen is modern, airy, and well equipped with ample preparation space. It also has views across the fields to the sea. Both comfortable bedrooms, a double and a twin, feature soft, restful colour schemes, with double wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside tables providing plenty of storage space for all your needs. The family bathroom (with a shallow step down) completes the interior with a shower over the bath and WC.
From the lounge, a glazed door leads down three steps to a large, enclosed garden with plenty of lawn space, mature shrubs, trees and sea views. Make the most of the furnished patio and enjoy the birdsong as you fire up the BBQ for supper. This is also a great spot for stargazing, and you may see deer, hares and pheasants in the neighbouring fields. At the front of the house is a bench seat, which makes a handy perch for pulling on your walking boots before you head out for the day. You’ll also have an allocated parking space for one car.
