Property code: OC-NB1968

This lovely cottage is perfect for a family to enjoy a seaside escape on the stunning Northumberland coast. The home is set on a quiet residential street in the little village of Newton-by-the-Sea. It boasts several fantastic local pubs and three beautiful stretches of sand. Coast path walking is a wonderful way to spend your time here and trails head off in both directions offering glorious views. The bustling town of Seahouses is 6 miles away with a working harbour and fish smokery as well as a great range of shops to browse. There are also cafes, pubs and restaurants galore, many serving delicious locally caught fish and seafood. Visitors shouldn’t miss visiting Bamburgh Castle 9.5 miles north and of course a trip to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, which is about 20 miles away.

The welcoming terraced cottage has been beautifully modernised with a bright open-plan living area. There are wooden floors throughout and plenty of windows letting in the light. Plush sofas are gathered around a cosy wood burner and French doors open to the garden beyond. The kitchen/dining area is stylish with all you need to prepare your family holiday feasts. Also on the ground floor, there’s a utility room and a useful separate cloakroom. On the first floor, guests will find three inviting bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and dual-aspect windows with countryside views. The other bedrooms are a twin room and a serene single room. The sleek family bathroom has underfloor heating, a shower over the bath and a heated towel rail.

Outside is an attractive garden completely enclosed by a hedge and fence. Guests can access the patio via the living room’s French doors or a back door in the utility room. From the patio there are three steps up to an expanse of lawn that is perfect for games and picnics. The patio is equipped with outside furniture where the whole group can gather and enjoy meals or drinks in the open air. There is also a charcoal BBQ available for guests to use.

The property is very well located providing access to three beaches and plenty of walking. It is within walking distance of The Ship Inn and crawling distance of The Joiners Arms! It is a very comfortable, dog friendly property with secure rear garden and useful utility room. We had a very enjoyable stay and will return.

Lovely property in a great location, easy access- walking distance to some of the best beaches in Northumberland and the best crab sandwiches at the Ship Inn. The property was large and comfortable, great built in oven and microwave and fabulous to have a gas hob. Plenty of plates/cutlery/glasses (perhaps too much, difficult to keep track of cleRead moreanliness with so much stuff available). The property was lovely and warm and very quiet. The only thing that let the property down was the cleanliness. The floors needed a good clean, thick dust in the corners and cobwebs hanging from the walls in the main bedroom. The bathroom was disappointing, black mould around the bath and shower door. I had to clean the shower head before we could use the shower to remove all the mould. The bottom of the shower door is missing allowing water to escape all over the floor making it very slippery. We booked this cottage for the enclosed garden for our dog. Unfortunately the grass was so long she couldnt use it and we had to take her on the village green out the front for her to toilet. The grass was cut on the Thursday, far too late as we left on Saturday. Hide
