If you love being close to the sea, then this is the home for you. Positioned a stone’s throw from the shore, you’ll have direct access to Cresswell Beach here – perfect for sunbathing or long walks with your furry friend. Wake up to the sounds of crashing waves and enjoy your morning coffee in the garden – accessed via the driveway – then head back inside and serve breakfast around the rustic dining table. It’s only got one full bathroom, so it may get a little cramped at full occupancy – but this home’s seaside charms make up for it. If you get an itch for the city, Newcastle is just an hour away, too.

The Northern Seaview

Tucked into a tranquil street just a stone's throw from the bustling Bedlington high street, this home is a radiant retreat for four guests. Embodied with elegance and comfort, it serves as the perfect refuge for family breaks, couples' escapes, or work stays. South Riggs intertwines deluxe amenities with ravishing interiors, creating an atmosphere resonating with homely warmth. It showcases an eco-friendly flair with an EV charger on-premise. A secluded private courtyard dressed in outdoor furniture breathes life into serene evenings, while a dedicated desk area fuels productivity. The cherry on top is the secure garage parking, which ensures cherished vehicles rest under a protective roof.

Bedlington Hideaway

Perched upon the Whitley coast lies this comfortable modern home. Large windows allow natural daylight to permeate the house during the day, so you can wake up to scenic views right from the bedrooms, and open the window to let in the smell of the sea. Sit out on the patio in the garden and enjoy drinks and good company as the sun sets or curl up on the sofa in the living room and get lost in a good book.

You'll find plenty to do in Whitley Bay, including the two miles of golden sandy beaches, where you'll enjoy some incredible vistas from the St Mary's Island lighthouse. If you're hoping to find some great places to eat out during your trip, you’re in luck – Spanish City plays host to a Renaissance-style hall complete with a fish and chip restaurant, a bar and a traditional tearoom. What’s more, this abode is in close proximity to public transport, so you'll be able to hop on a bus to the city centre for some retail therapy.

Triptych by the Waves

Go back in time to this Georgian country house, only 9 miles from the iconic Alnwick Castle and Garden. As part of a private estate, you'll find lush grounds, a lily pond, and outdoor seating spots. Travelling with kids? There's baby equipment, toys, and old-fashioned lawn games to try out during the summer. Indoors, the characterful rooms are full of authentic features, including a log fire and flagstone flooring. Rothbury awaits 6 miles away, well known for its bakery and charming high-street amenities.

The Golden Chest

This comfortable holiday home sits in Alnmouth, just 4 miles from the medieval market town of Alnwick. It’s a superb base for exploring the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whether you want to visit historic castles or stroll the golden sands of the coast. Alnmouth Beach is a thirteen-minute walk away – your four-legged friends will love it. After a busy day spent exploring, you’ll love curling up in the living space, chatting around the dining table, or catching the last of the day’s sunshine in the garden. The conservatory is a great spot for a morning cuppa and countryside views. 

Alnmouth Sanctuary

Only 20 miles from Edinburgh, this lodge is nestled on the grounds of a 16th-century tower. Views stretch across the countryside in every direction, from the Lammermuir Hills in the south to Edinburgh Castle in the east. The patio is the biggest draw – nothing beats an alfresco Old Fashioned while admiring the castle – but the interiors are just as handsome. We love the bright living area and panoramic window seats in the bedrooms. And, of course, the location will be a big hit with nature buffs. Ambles around a private loch, hikes along the John Muir Way, on-site fly fishing, and clay shooting are just some of the activities on offer.

A Scottish Treasure

A cosy escape to the countryside for a couple or a single traveller, Dorian Grey Cottage has everything you’ll need for a relaxing trip. Nestled into the village of Belford, you’ll be surrounded by rural farms and beautiful hills, perfect for idyllic walks. In fact, staying here means getting the best of both worlds as you are neatly tucked away between the Northumberland coastline and the beautiful wilderness of Northumberland National Park. Spend your days going for long country or coastal walks, visit the nearby town of Bamburgh for its famous castle, or simply sit back in front of the wood-burning stove, read a book and enjoy each other’s company. Weather permitting, we also highly recommend spending some time in the private decking area. Wake up and enjoy your coffee in the morning sun, for example, or end the day with a glass of wine after being out and about all day.

Dorian Grey Cottage

Featuring on “most stylish stays in the UK” lists, this 1960s home sits within acres of walled gardens, landscaped in the 18th century and built by Napoleonic prisoners of war. Mid-century on the outside, the interior is an ode to decadent manor homes with a vast library of books, oil paintings of the Dalrymple family and collections of private artefacts that should be in a museum. You won’t find any “don’t touch” signs though – guests are encouraged to pick fruit and veg from the kitchen garden, rack up a game of snooker in the games room and make use of the grand fireplaces with wood from the neighbouring forest provided. The coastal golf town of North Berwick is a ten-minute drive away and you can practice your pitching on the golf pitching range in the garden. 

The Laird's Garden

In the heart of the Northumberland countryside, this newly built lodge is packed with style and modern comforts. Amply sized windows show off the views of rolling fields, while the lofty ceilings and open-plan living area create more than enough space for a small group to get comfortable. Sleek and sophisticated, the kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up hearty breakfasts and Sunday roasts, best enjoyed around the table alongside a bottle of wine and good conversation. Upstairs, the main suite has oodles of room to relax. We love the balcony – the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee in the fresh air – as well as the freestanding bathtub, which beckons for relaxing soaks after a long walk through the country. And even better, guests will have access to the two hot tubs on-site – ideal for bubbling away under the starry night skies.

Make sure to pack your walking shoes as this section of Northumberland is rife for rambling. A ten-minute drive away lies Belsay Hall, Castle & Gardens, while waterfront pubs along the River Tyne are about a twenty-minute drive. But if you'd like to pick up the pace, Newscastle is reachable in thirty minutes by car –  an excellent option for day trips.

By the Light of the Moon

Ideal for passionate escapes, alone time with oneself, or professional retreats, this special Edwardian gem in the inviting town of Whitley Bay will captivate hearts. Just a whisper away from the lapping waves of the sea at a mere 200 steps, guests are immersed in serene coastal moments. The heart of this lively town is effortlessly close - a plethora of welcoming pubs, enticing restaurants, and assorted shops wait to be discovered right outside the front door. This restored apartment provides guests with an authentic experience of seaside life united with historical charm.

Edwardian Euphoria

Located in the picturesque town of Alnwick, this apartment makes a cosy base for exploring Northumberland. Inside, it's warm, homely feel, with plenty of windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it's perfectly equipped for preparing simple meals – and when you're in the mood for something heartier, you're within strolling distance of local pubs and restaurants. Nearby Alnwick Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, or venture out for a scenic walk through the rolling countryside.
