The idyllic cottage is set amongst the rolling hills of the Northumberland countryside and offers the best of both worlds, with the rugged coastline also within easy reach. The property sleeps four guests and makes the perfect couples’ retreat or base for a small family. Just 3 miles from the cottage is the family favourite of Embleton Bay. This wide, sheltered bay has a vast expanse of golden sand and is also popular with water sports enthusiasts. The beach stretches for approximately 3 miles so, even in the height of summer, it’s easy to escape the crowds and find your own little quiet spot to unwind. At the far end of the beach, you’ll find the evocative ruins of the 14th-century Dunstanburgh Castle. Several long-distance walking routes pass through the beach, including the Northumberland Coast Path and St Oswald’s Way, taking you along some of the most dramatic stretches of the Heritage Coast. If you follow the coast path, you’ll soon reach the unspoilt fishing village of Craster (2 miles), where you can sample the famous smoked kippers and explore the fantastic selection of arts and crafts boutiques.
The traditional stone cottage is arranged across one level and has been decorated in a contemporary style, with a fabulous collection of unique accessories and statement furniture. Enter the property into the vestibule, where there is space to store all your outdoor gear. At the heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen/diner, leading into a large lounge. The kitchen/diner has an impressive, vaulted ceiling, and is the perfect place for enjoying memorable mealtimes together, in the glow of the wood burner. After dinner, drift into the light-filled lounge, which has a huge sky light (perfect for star gazing on a clear night) and French doors opening out onto the garden. Recline on the vibrant sofa to watch the Smart TV or curl up with a book in one of the armchairs. The property has two bedrooms – a king-size and a double – and both have individual style, combining period features with quirky furniture and accessories. Completing the property is a stylish shower room and a bathroom with a gorgeous free-standing bath.
The cottage has a large, enclosed garden, that’s predominantly laid to lawn. A sunny patio houses outdoor furniture, providing a relaxing spot to dine outside in summer months. The garden enjoys spectacular countryside views and is a real haven for wildlife.
