Property code: OC-NB1963

A spacious, family-friendly cottage, enjoying several original features, is set in the open countryside near the Northumberland coast. It’s ideal for a large, multi-generational family or a group of friends. The town of Alnwick, with its castle, cobblestone market square and Lilidorei- the world's largest play structure, lies 8 miles away, while there is more history to discover at Bamburgh Castle (8.5 miles) which overlooks a sandy beach that will take you to the bustling fishing village of Seahouses (3.5 miles). Numerous footpaths also begin virtually from the front door.

Inside, the lounge, kitchen and dining room feature an exposed stone wall and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, the whole area benefiting from underfloor heating. Natural light will pour into the lounge and kitchen all year round thanks to a large picture window and patio doors showing off pleasant views of the surrounding countryside, with most of the lounge furniture arranged around a wood burner. The cottage has four bedrooms: a king-size room, a double and a twin (all en-suite) along with a bunk room with facilities for home working. The cottage also has a large family bathroom.

Stepping outside, at the back of the house is a completely enclosed, sheltered and private courtyard garden with barbecue and rattan outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. Ideal for dogs and to store bikes securely after a day adventuring. To the front is a large lawned front garden with views to the coast surrounded by post and rail fencing including wooden picnic table, perfect for a relaxing evening watching the sunset.

Great location just off the A1 with plenty of parking. The accommodation is nice and spacious with plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Some rooms could do with a good clean but it was a good sized property for two families of four

Lovely view of Bamburgh castle from the lounge. Shame no basic TV access - you dont always remember to take iplayer and Netflix passwords on holiday. Insufficient teaspoons. Cant recycle bottles. Apart from minor niggles great property.

This was a great place for the family, amazing location managed to get around the whole of Northumberland and everywhere within 15 to 30 minutes in the car. Beautiful views from the property, very spacious and catered well for all ages (our party varying ages from 9 - 72). Would definitely recommend a stay if you are wanting to see the sites aroundRead more Northumbria. Hide

Lounge was dusty on arrival and don't expect to have to empty the dishwasher, however this would not stop me from re booking as the views from the lounge window were fabulous.

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Not always a previous experience. The location was good. It was light and airy. It wasnt a compromise where someone had tried squeezing in another room. It matched the pictures on the website.

Property suited our family well as we needed a ground floor twin room with en-suite for parents in their 90s . Plenty of space for the group. Dog and three year old loved the two garden spaces and great that one was fully secure.

Excellence in every way. Only concern was cream carpeting throughout. As your a countryside cottage this was a little worrisome. But, snazing holiday
