Description

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.

Reviews

Nice place. Newton is wonderful.

Mr D,

Great location and really lovely cottage. Would not hesitate to book again.

Mrs J,

a really lovely cottage, everything in the cottage was of a good quality.

Mrs D,

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 cleanliness 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 couldn’t 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.

Mrs M,

A fantastic cottage, well equipped and the perfect location for exploring Northumberland especially Alnwick and many beautiful beaches at Low Newton, Seahouses and Beadnell. Thanks for a great stay.

Mrs K,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable clean and well equipped. The beds were comfy (just needed summer quilts). Lovely welcome pack. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully return soon.

Mrs B,

Brilliant location for walks and seeing wildlife. Everything was well maintained and really comfy. We had a fantastic week.

Mrs L,

An amazing cottage and a fantastic location. Lovely to come back too after the end of a busy day exploring or on the beach!

Mrs W,

Great cottage with plenty of space in a great location and brilliant for the dogs

Mr G,

Great location, lovely little touch by providing a welcome hamper. Had a fabulous week on the Northunberland coast, can’t wait to come back.

Miss N,

Great house, in a wonderful location - three beautiful beaches and two excellent dog-friendly pubs in walking distance. House is really well equipped and warm.

Mrs S,

It could be so lovely. So nicely decorated but short cuts taken we feel on maintenance. We were v disappointed as we go away eve Xmas to be together.

Mrs B,

Excellent house with everything we could need (apart from an ironing board). Fantastic location within reach of some if the best beaches in the world. Joiners Arms really handy just a couple of doors down, excellent food and staff. Plenty of other eating options within a short drive, but the house was that well equipped we cooked in most nights. Would totally recommend for anyone, couples families and dogs.

Mr H,

Location

Newton-by-the Sea

Newton-by-the Sea is a two part village, with High Newton-by-the-Sea being home to the well-known Joiner's Arms gastropub, just a short stroll from three of the best beaches on the stunning Northumberland coast. The Ship Inn at nearby Low Newton has been voted by The Times as one of the best coastal pubs in the country, serving locally caught seafood and home grown produce as well as a selection of real ales from its on-site microbrewery.

The nearby village of Embleton has a small shop/post office, petrol station, golf club, and three pubs. Slightly farther to the south is the fishing village of Craster, where the Jolly Fisherman pub provides good food, and there is a coastal walk to the imposing Dunstanburgh Castle. 

Seahouses is the nearest town, just six miles away, a bustling seaside town with a working harbour and a fish smokery in the old quarter. There are lots of shops, restaurants and gift shops, as well the best fish and chips for miles. There is also St Aiden's beach, which has views of Bamburgh Castle in the distance. Bamburgh, a few miles farther north, is a quaint village that has lots to offer in term of old-world charm and history, and regularly features on film and TV.  Inland, 20 minutes away, is the market town of Alnwick, famous for its castle and garden, where you will find a wide variety of shops, supermarkets, places to eat and other services.  A regular local bus service joins Alnwick and the coastal villages, including High Newton-by-the-Sea, so it is possible to walk the coastal path without needing a car.
