On one of the most spectacular stretches of Northumberland Heritage coast, these six individually designed cottages enjoy an idyllic location on a working farm only yards from Beadnell Bay's wonderful long sandy beach, backed by National Trust sand dunes. Perfect for walkers, bird watchers and families (all children under 12 receive a free bucket and spade!), each cottage has its own unique character and all of them offer spacious, well appointed interiors and their own garden as well as shared enjoyment of a well equipped children's play area. And the farm, which sits at the end of a lane half a mile from the village of Newton-by-the-Sea, boasts a collection of peacocks and ornamental pheasants.
Wonderful coastal walking starts at the door – north to the fishing village of Beadnell and south to Low Newton's glorious sandy beach and stunning views of Dunstanburgh Castle and through to Craster, a pretty harbour village famous for its much sought after kippers. Nature lovers will delight in the area's variety of native and migrating birds, and grey seals and sea otters are often spotted along the coast.
There are numerous places to visit along the coastline including magnificent Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and Seahouses (6 miles) for boat trips to the Farne Islands to see the famous colonies of puffins and seals. Just 7 miles inland lie the market town of Alnwick and its fairytale castle; the internationally celebrated gardens offer something for everyone such as stunning water features, a giant tree house with its own restaurant, and fabulous ornamental planting. The Northumberland National Park's thousands of acres of unspoilt heather moorlands, ancient woodland and rolling Cheviot hills are easily accessible as are Berwick upon Tweed and the Scottish Borders. Golf, horse riding, sailing and fishing are all available nearby. Village pub serving food ½ mile, shop and post office 2½ miles.
