Nestled along Northumbria's picturesque coastline like a lighthouse calling to the ocean, this home will leave you feeling very well connected to the sea. Make the most of having your own personal watchtower where you can witness views of Budle Bay from different angles. We particularly adore the addition of a telescope, which will allow you to explore the distant scenery. Budle Bay has built a reputation as a bird sanctuary, so you might just spot birds like wildfowl and waders flying past. The home itself oozes a connection to the sea and the sandy bays that surround it – from the lush blues of the furnishings to the decorative touches.

Being located on the edge of historic Bamburgh, in the small village of Waren Mill, means you can enjoy long, quiet walks and energetic hikes through the countryside and along the coast here. A trip to Bamburgh Castle followed by a stroll along Bamburgh's sandy shores is a must. It takes five-minutes to drive here and you can easily while away hours marveling at the scenery. If you watched The Last Kingdom on Netflix, then you may just recognise the castle – it's pretty iconic to the storyline! Going slightly further afield, Northumbria National Park can be reached within thirty-minutes, and here you'll find beautiful walks amongst the lush countryside.

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.

Sitting within a holiday park near the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland, this pet-friendly eco-lodge invites ample relaxation amid its natural setting. A-frame floor-to-ceiling windows allow for plenty of natural light throughout the day and the living room’s wood-burning stove is perfect for curling up next to on cooler evenings. A decked area outside beckons alfresco meals when the weather is balmy. Alternatively, you can head to the quarry’s enclosed picnic area for wonderful views of the surroundings. With Bamburgh Castle, the coast and golf courses easily reachable by car, there’s something here for everyone.

Nice to haves

Send the blues packing with a stay at this picturesque home at the tip of Bamburgh village. With pops of nautical blues and white wooden beams, this home perfectly fits its coastal location while maintaining the feel of a countryside cottage. The mix of modern and traditional features create a quintessential setting for any activity whether it be cosying up in the barbecue hut for an outdoor feast or inside for a formal dinner, enjoying a game of pool or sneaking away to read a good book on the sunny conservatory. 

The four lofty bedrooms feature plush carpet and sloped ceilings and there’s a warming log burner in the lounge for the dogs to doze off in front of. The garden is surrounded by leafy foliage, and although that might trick you into thinking that you’re miles inland, you’re actually only a few hundred yards from the sea. Go for a stroll along Budle Bay and you’ll find stretches of sandy beach and mudflats for a quiet morning of birdwatching. The impressive Bamburgh Castle is less than a five-minute drive away and is also home to a golf course with mighty impressive views overlooking the coast.

Live the rural dream with a stay in this wonderful home, part of a converted farm steading. It's nestled in the hamlet of Adderstone, and provides the perfect gateway to the wildly beautiful Northumberland countryside. 

With its traditional red-tiled roof and stone walls, the house is a handsome sight amongst the fields. Step inside, and you'll find a surprisingly modern space, cloaked in blue and grey tones with plenty of natural light. Flop down together on the sofa after a decadent dinner, and get cosy with a good movie. Or, on sunny days, you can throw open the patio doors and head outside for a tipple in the balmy breeze. 

History fans are in luck – the magical Alnwick Castle is roughly fifteen minutes away by car, and Dunstanburgh Castle is just a little further. Hikers and cyclists can explore the quiet roads leading through the glorious countryside, watching out for local wildlife as they go. And, if you're missing the big city, you can pop into lively Newcastle for a day trip – it's under an hour away by car.

Bamburgh Beach and its seafront castle are just a short stroll away from this home. Days spent lounging on the sand are definitely a given, but, if you'd rather enjoy a laid-back afternoon at home, the garden is the perfect spot. A timber playset is available for children, a lawn is great for furry friends, and outdoor seating lets parents relax with a refreshing drink. We think the nautical-inspired interiors are lovely, too. The log burner keeps things cosy during the cooler months and the soaker bath is just what you need after a day exploring the Northumbrian coast. Leisure club membership is also included, although a small entry charge applies.

The Beach Flower

Wine Cooler

A former farmer's cottage just a short drive from Bamburgh and Seahouses, this place has had quite a facelift in recent years and now offers a comfortable and smart home with plenty of luxury touches. A huge vaulted ceiling hangs over the sociable, open-plan living space, where you'll find a high-end kitchen, comfy seating area and dining table – along with big windows and a rather special view. In all its glory, Bamburgh Castle is visible on the skyline just across the nearby farm buildings.

Bright, cosy bedrooms and two bathrooms provide plenty of space for a family or a few friends to share, and we love the ground floor bedroom with patio doors opening to the garden. 

A great spot for keen walkers and beach lovers, it's just a few minutes drive to the coast (the beach is 2 miles away) and even less to the castle itself. Set in a quiet farming hamlet, you'll have peace and quiet, as well as the local amenities, pubs and cafes just a few minutes away.

Over the Barns

Sitting within view of Bamburgh Castle and the Cheviots, this home is a peaceful getaway that is well and truly geared towards rest and relaxation.

On the ground floor alone, there's both a sun room with huge windows bringing in lots of natural light, as well as a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove around which to gather after a bracing walk in the elements. The large kitchen with a lovably retro serving hatch has a wealth of surface space for whipping up family-sized feasts, which can be enjoyed around the dining table.

Alternatively, if the forecast makes for pleasant reading during your visit, it would be a crying shame not to make the most of the table that sits in the middle of the back garden's terrace – there's a barbecue present if you really want to embrace the alfresco way of life.

When it comes to seeing what lies beyond the home's boundaries, the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty starts at the end of the road and offers castles, beaches and walking routes aplenty. It also only takes just over ten minutes to reach Seahouses Harbour, from which you can catch a ferry to the Farne Islands.

Song of Sixpence

Situated in the quiet hamlet of Waren Mill, this charming miller’s cottage has been transformed into a comfortable space for those wanting some rest and relaxation on the Northumberland coast. Inside, the home is laidback with unpretentious furnishings and blue hues that channel the seaside surroundings. The cosy living area commands curling up with a good book in front of the wood-burning stove and the well-lit kitchen diner is ideal for lively breakfasts before long walks through the countryside. 

When the weather is on your side, enjoy a cup of tea at the bistro set on the patio then jump in the car and head to Bamburgh Beach – it’s only a six-minute drive away. After a revitalising dip in the North Sea, spend the afternoon strolling along the sweeping sands and exploring Bamburgh Castle. Stop for a bite to eat in the village’s fine selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants or head back to your abode and treat your loved ones to a hearty home-cooked supper.

This home couldn't be in a more convenient spot on the Northumbria coast. Right in the heart of Bamburgh, just a stroll from the castle and the sandy beach, it's got coffee shops, pubs and restaurants within striking distance and access to coastal walks and cycle routes.

It's part of a freshly converted Grade II property, split into an exclusive collection of homes in a gated courtyard and with the iconic castle as a backdrop. Modern and sophisticated, it's a perfectly practical choice for a few friends or a small family. There's a sociable flow to the place, with an open-plan living space and high-spec kitchen, and a cloakroom and utility room – handy for muddy boots. The bright, cheery decor continues upstairs with two en-suite bedrooms. 

And there's private outdoor space here too, so grab a chilled bottle of something and some glasses, and choose between your patio to the front or courtyard to the rear – where you'll also find a gate out onto the main street.

Set in one of the iconic Armstrong Cottages overlooking the dunes of Bamburgh beach, this home welcomes you to an immersive retreat on the wild and beautiful coast of Northumberland. 

With its distinctive green-painted timber frontage, traditional features and cosy furnishings, every detail of this setting sings with charm and character. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the welcoming presence of this home. From the art and books to the elegant styling and warm ambience, this is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. 

Days can be spent hiking across the spectacular coastline, embracing the waves on the beach, exploring ancient castles and simply admiring the expansive beauty of the region. Bamburgh castle and the village are just a short stroll away, while Holy Island and The Farne Islands can be accessed from Seahouses harbour (just a short drive away). 

Wherever the fresh sea air takes you, this home provides an idyllic setting to share heart-warming evenings around the table, long soaks in the bath and cosy nights by the fire. 

Sea Glory 

On the outskirts of Bamburgh, this house provides warm and welcoming family accommodation. It’s just a few minutes' walk to the long sandy beach, Bamburgh Castle, and the village centre, where there are a variety of pubs, restaurants, delicatessens and a butcher. Guests can relax in the cosy living area with a multifuel stove. The kitchen has everything you need for family-sized meals and patio doors lead to the rear garden where dining is available on the patio. Upstairs, each bedroom has stunning views across fields towards the Cheviot Hills or over the dunes towards the sea. 

The Land of the Fisherman

Free Parking On Street

Castaway and escape the outside world at this picture-perfect period cottage squirrelled away on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, just a few miles off the Northumberland coast. Cut off twice daily from the mainland with the fast-moving tides of the North Sea, the island has a truly magical feel. Spend your days spotting seals sunning themselves on the coastline or bobbing through the waters. Stretch your legs with bracing walks along the vast unspoilt sandy shores – Coves Haven beach on the northern side of Holy Island is gloriously secluded. And soak up the historical splendour of the circa. 1550 Lindisfarne Castle rising from the rock face.

When it's time to rest up at home, the charms of this cottage are hard to resist, with a wood-burning stove to nestle up beside and exposed beams and stonework bringing all the period allure. When thoughts turn to food, there's everything you could need to rustle up a bite to eat in the shaker-style kitchen – or skip cooking and head to the local pub, just a few minute's walk from your door. 

When it's time to say adieu, leaving this island haven is easier than you'd think. Time the tides right, and you'll be over the causeway and back on dry land in no time – the main Northumberland coast is just a few miles away.

Bamburgh’s location on the Northumberland Coast makes it splendid for a trip out on the water, just as much as fish and chips on the shore. Between the dunes and the green perimeter of this tiny town, your house sits pretty at just over half a mile from Bamburgh Beach and its famed castle. But if you choose sea over the land, you’ll be well looked after – this town is home of Victorian maritime heroine Grace Darling.

While this fabulous holiday home is certainly on land, there are still nods to the coast. Grey wooden slats on the exterior are reminiscent of a traditional wooden rowboat, while the front door even features a perfectly round porthole. You can admire it from the outside while sitting on your patio with a chilled bottle of fizz, or on the lush lawn surrounded by a picnic and a few G&Ts. And there’s even more admiring to do inside.

We love the elegant interiors – a striking scene upon entering the lounge. White beams, dark hardwood floors, and Scandi-style furniture set a modern tone. But rustic tradition isn’t far away, with an Aga range cooker and log-burner taking you back to days of old. Superbly stylish throughout, pour another glass and say a toast to dear old Grace – perhaps from the comfort of your marble-clad tub.

The gentle colour scheme at this inviting family home not only sets the mood for a wonderfully relaxing trip, it also perfectly matches its idyllic surroundings. Nestled into the popular town of Seahouses on Northumberland’s coastline, this is a perfect retreat for those in need of some fresh sea air and long coastal walks. A cosy living space calls for snuggling up when the wind blows a gale, while a manicured garden complete with dining set lets you make the most of sunny days. Put a picnic together in your sleek kitchen and take the eighteen-minute stroll to North Sunderland Beach for rock pooling and bracing dips in the North Sea. For those who want a little more adventure, there’s a horse riding school and two golf courses within walking distance of your doorstep. But you can’t visit Seahouses without taking a day trip to the Farne Islands – Sir David Attenborough declared it as one of his most favourite places in the UK to see nature at its best. Keep your eyes peeled for puffins, razorbills and seals bobbing in the waves.

This stone brick home is a real find for a group of friends or family looking for a rural retreat. It embraces countryside living while being kitted out with contemporary furnishings and top-notch appliances. And with those extra touches that just make a getaway so much more special, like a welcome hamper and a games area, it's sure to be a memorable stay.  

The interior of this home is modern yet homely, with soft throws, plush sofas, and warm-toned light fixtures adding an extra layer of cosiness. The spacious country-house kitchen is ideal for home chefs, equipped with quality fittings. Not only is this home delightful, but it's also superbly located on the Northumberland Coast. You're a leisurely walk – just under twenty minutes – to the nearby fishing village of Seahouses. You can catch a boat to the Farne Islands from here, where you'll find a colony of grey seals. If you want to explore further by car, you're within five miles of enchanting Bamburgh Castle and the breathtaking scenery of Holy Island. 

Gathering around the outdoor dining table and tucking into barbecue dinners is always a great way to round off a day well spent. But we know that the British weather has a mind of its own, so a hearty meal around the farmhouse-style dining table is just as enjoyable. After a few glasses of wine, it's time to bring the board games out. A friendly game of Monopoly, anyone?

Horizon Clouds

For a traditional seaside holiday, you couldn't be much closer to the water's edge than this smart mews cottage. Set in the historic harbour area of the quaint North Northumberland coastal village of Seahouses, the beach is just a stone's throw away.

Inside, everywhere feels bright and breezy, just how we like our coastal homes to be. Kick off sandy shoes in the cloakroom and make your way into the dazzling white open-plan living space where soft blue accents unite the space and remind us the sea is never far away.

Guests love how spaced apart the bedrooms feel across two floors. Form an orderly queue for first dibs on that swoon-worthy bedroom with a separate dressing area and deep bath for an evening soak. Though that immaculate second king-sized bedroom with a Juliet balcony to steal a glimpse of the sea is an impressive consolation prize. And while there's no outdoor space to speak of, we don't think you'll mind with the harbour and beach so close.

When it's time for a dose of sea air, nip to the end of the road, and you can watch the boats bob into shore – made even more magical at sunset. Then take a mosey into the centre for a dose of British seaside nostalgia with fish and chips at the beach. Or hop on a boat trip and journey to Farne Islands – it's Attenborough's favourite place, don't you know.

Children's Dinnerware

With hues of blue and grey, the stormy-sea palette plays into the nautical theme without going overboard on seaside decorations, but if you are looking for an element of maritime chic, you can find the large, wrought-iron compass on the bathroom wall for a nod to the beachy surroundings. 

Fairly minimal otherwise, this home instead chooses to maximise the space by furnishing it efficiently. Can you see yourself here, absently enjoying a cup of coffee as you lose yourself to a daydream by staring toward the harbour? Curl up on the sofa with your favourite podcast or catch up on a Netflix series. 

Enjoy Full English breakfasts at the dining table before heading out to explore the historic harbour area of Seahouses. Not far from there you’ll also find a beach where you can dip a toe into the chilly waters of the North Sea. Take a long walk along the coast before turning back to find a coffee shop or cafe where you can enjoy a hot drink and light bite. 

Golf enthusiasts can spend lazy days on the course at Seahouses Golf Club – minutes away – whilst everyone else heads out on a boat tour. Eat, drink, laugh and return to this home at the end of the day to put your feet up with a glass of wine.

Harbourmaster House

With plenty of charm and a whole host of modern comforts, this recently refurbished farm building is a wonderful introduction to Northumberland. It's the perfect place to kick back and relax between your adventures in this rugged corner of England. 

The main living space, with its high ceilings and traditional wooden beams, is as cosy as it is grand. Light up the wood burner and flop down on the sofa with a glass of wine to watch a blockbuster after a busy day. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite hearty dishes in the kitchen – we recommend a classic Sunday roast. And, if the weather is warm, you can enjoy a tipple outside on the terrace, as you breathe in the fresh air and make some plans for your stay. 

History buffs are truly spoilt, with Alnwick Castle, Bamburg Castle, and Dunstanburgh Castle all within a short drive. Walkers and cyclists can pack a picnic and explore the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a stone's throw away. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive down to Newcastle in around an hour, to immerse yourself in the lively city. 

The Periwinkle

This charming stone-built cottage in picturesque Northumberland is perfect for those looking for a peaceful getaway. The spacious sitting room features a wood-burning stove, ideal for cosying up on cooler evenings, while the well-equipped kitchen and separate snug area make this cottage feel like a home away from home. Outside, guests can enjoy a sunny patio with garden table and chairs, plus there’s a stone outbuilding for storing bikes. Exploring the area, Bamburgh is a twelve-minute drive away (or a half-hour cycle) and the closest pub is three miles away.

The English Farmer's Daughter

For those seeking a bucolic break, this cottage offers a rural retreat along the Northumberland coast. The setting is postcard-perfect – a stone façade, postbox red door, and a luscious green garden surround this home. Wake up every morning and soak up the sound of seclusion on your terrace with coffee. When you’re ready to head out, you’re moments away from Beadnell Bay Beach, Ebb’s Nook and Beadnell Harbour, as well as within a short distance of the Farne Islands.

Inside, there are traditional countryside features such as beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and a wood-burning fireplace. You’ll love sharing a bottle of red wine, fire crackling in the background, after a day exploring the coastal paths. And there’s plenty of history to discover outside the home too – jump in the car to the 14th-century Preston Tower and Iron Age fort, Dunstanburgh Castle.

A Northumberland Ballad

Workplace

This stunning, semi-detached stone-built home in the picturesque village of Ellingham boasts a comfortable living room, box fresh kitchen, open plan dining area and south-facing garden. You’ll find it to be both a peaceful rural retreat and the perfect base from which to explore Northumberland’s countryside and 40-mile heritage coastline, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With the nearest beach only a 15-minute drive away, it’ll be easy as can be to spend the day by sea. Alternatively, make a beeline for Bamburgh – think sand dunes, snug eateries and legendary coastal fortress – or the historic market town of Alnwick, with its magnificent castle and gardens. On the way home be sure to stop off for beer battered haddock and hand-cut chips at The Pack Horse Inn, a popular pub offering locally sourced food and drinks. At the day’s end gather together on the sofas in the living room. Grab a bottle of wine and light the wood burning stove before putting your feet up, play at cards or settling in for movie night.  You won’t regret it.

Wind & Waves

This stone-built cottage is just over 300 metres from the seafront in the town of Seahouses. There are bars under 200 metres away too, or you can play some golf or go horse riding nearby. Beadnell Bay, only a few miles north, is great for sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving too. This home has sea views from the doorstep and access to a small patio area which is part of a communal courtyard shared with other neighbours. Inside, there’s a wood burner for cosy nights in, but at full capacity, there’s only one bathroom for five guests. 

The Homely Hideaway

Underfloor Heating

Lying just around the corner from Seahouses Harbour, the stone facade of this home looks like it's been a fixture here for years, but it's a fairly recent addition. This becomes abundantly clear as you glance around the contemporarily styled interior for the first time.

Spread across a single floor, the colour palette of muted greys and whites is bright and inviting, while there's a wealth of surface space in the sleek kitchen for when you want to whip up seafood banquets. The designers haven't completely done away with rustic cosiness, though – what could be a cuter way of ending a productive day than gathering around the crackling flames by the living room's stove?

As already mentioned, the town's harbour is just a three-minute walk away and it's possible to head out on nautical expeditions, including diving and trips to the bird-spotting hotspot, Farne Islands. If you prefer to stay on land, there are walking routes and scenic points aplenty in the surrounding Northumberland Coast AONB, too.

This stunning stone-built home in the Northumbrian village of Lowick is charming, cosy and comfortable. Dating back to 1745, this historic home wears its heritage on its sleeve whilst also boasting a multitude of mod cons. Beautifully refurbished, this ground-floor home features a fully equipped fitted kitchen and open plan dining and living room complete with vaulted ceiling, Velux windows and an electric wood burner feature fireplace. 

You’ll love pulling a book off the shelf and cosying up in the reading nook by the wood burner, dining à deux in the light-filled living area and savouring a glass of wine out in the courtyard garden. Lounge on the outdoor sofa beneath the twinkling lights before treating yourself to a long, hot soak in the whirlpool bath. Settle in for a movie night before jumping into your super king-sized bed.  

Despite its peaceful, private setting, you’ll find your home’s location within only a ten-minute drive of the dramatic Northumbrian coastline and the Causeway at Holy Island. Close at hand are the villages of Ford and Etal with their quaint cottages, working water mill and light railway. The historic town of Berwick Upon Tweed with its castle walls and salmon fishing is fifteen minutes away while you can reach Alnwick – home to The Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle and the magnificent Alnwick Garden – in half an hour.

It's not every day you wake up to castle views, but then again, not every home is as fabulously located as this one. Smack-dab in the heart of Bamburgh, you'll be treated to fantastic panoramas of the town's historic landmark from the main bedroom, living room and suntrap garden. How's that for a view?

When you're not feasting your eyes upon the scenery, chances are, you'll be holed up in the cosy living area with a glass of wine in front of the fire. Board games, books and a library of DVDs will stave off boredom on rainy days while summer sunshine calls for alfresco meals in the garden – Bamburgh Castle, of course, as your backdrop.

As for location, you can't get much better. Front Street is mere moments from your doorstep, with a bevvy of shops, pubs and restaurants to discover. 500 yards away lies the beach, where you can sprawl out on the golden sand and dip your toes in the waves. Whether you're after oceanfront walks and countryside cycling or rounds of golf and spots of birdwatching, there's something for everyone on the Northumberland coast. 

Castle Yonder

If you’re planning an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, look no further than this converted barn in the heart of Northumberland. Just a short drive from the coast, this place is the perfect setting for a relaxing family retreat, boasting beautiful country views that’ll make the buzz of urban life feel like a distant memory. 

Step past the low stone wall and into the living room where you’ll find everything you need to unwind after a day of hiking. Curl up with a book by the cosy wood-burning stove or head straight through to the kitchen to keep your fellow guests company while they rustle up a hearty meal. 

There’s no guarantee that the weather will be on your side here, but if it is, why not make the most of it by kicking back and relaxing on the patio? Pour yourself a cup of tea to sip as you gaze out at the gorgeous scenery or head out here in the evening and watch the sun dip down beneath the horizon, your furry friend at your feet. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to end the day.

Stardust & Stone

Baby Bath

Nestled in the charming coastal town of Bamburgh, this little cottage sets the tone for a relaxing stay on the Northumberland coast. And with its location just a short amble from the sprawling dunes, powdery sand beaches, and the historic Bamburgh Castle, there’s everything you could need for an invigorating coastal retreat.

Minimal in design, this cosy abode is a welcome seaside sanctuary to return to after a day at the Grace Darling Museum. From the calming palette of neutrals to the plush furnishings, the living area is the perfect place to enjoy conversations, card games and movie nights. We especially love the garden here, where we expect you’ll want to spend afternoons grilling up a barbecue dinner or stretched out with your holiday read.

Enjoy a short stroll into Bamburgh village for cake in one of the teahouses or option for a lobster roll in one of the seafood restaurants. If you’re looking to make the most of the region’s abundant wildlife, take a boat trip to the Farne Islands to sight native sea birds and grey seals or make the short drive to Budle Bay for a walk in the nature reserve.

Grace Darling

This sleek townhouse is the ideal place for groups of up to eight to call home during a trip to Northumberland. Whether you want to take it easy or plan some adventures, it's a wonderful place to kick back and relax in style. 

Step inside, and you'll find an effortlessly elegant living space that invites you to get comfortable. The open-plan set-up makes it easy to spend quality time together – we recommend cooking up a delicious Sunday roast to share after a long walk. And, on chilly evenings, you can curl up on the velvet sofa with a good movie for a cosy night in – bliss. 

From here, the charming Seahouses Harbour is just a short stroll away. Book a boat tour for an exciting trip around the coast, or stay on dry land and enjoy some tasty fish and chips at the seafront. Hikers and cyclists can explore the epic landscapes of Northumberland Coast AONB. Meanwhile, history buffs can take their pick from Alnwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle, both within driving distance. 

Teal & Silver

Castle View is a stylish and modern property located just round the corner from the picturesque and tranquil Seahouses harbour. This two-bedroomed property is ideal for a peaceful getaway in the heart of Northumberland. You'll be captivated by the idyllic hideaway's charm and intimate atmosphere. Relaxation begins as you step inside, greeted by the pleasant aroma of coastal serenity. The spacious living area invites you to unwind in front of the crackling indoor fireplace as you enjoy your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV. Rustle up delightful meals in the fully equipped kitchen, adorned with sleek appliances and convenient amenities. Both bedrooms are havens of comfort, offering ensuite bathrooms and a soothing ambiance for a restful night's sleep. Wake up refreshed and step onto the balcony to soak in breathtaking views of the majestic castle and sea. Whether you choose to explore nearby walks, venture to the stunning Northumberland coastline, or simply laze on the sandy beach, Castle View promises an unforgettable seaside escape.

Idyllic Hideaway

This modern first-floor apartment grants you stunning views of the sea without stepping a single foot out the door. Whether you're enjoying your morning cup of tea on the cushy sofa or watching the dramatic sunsets over the Farne Islands on the private balcony, here, the striking Northumberland coastline is your backdrop and the rolling waves are your soundtrack. Alongside the picturesque scenery, this apartment is stylish and cosy. Both bedrooms have a subtle seaside theme – especially the main, with its boat and palm-printed wallpaper – and the sunny kitchen is well-stocked with everything you'll need to rustle up a homecooked feast. All in all, not too bad for a home-from-home on the coast.

If you can drag yourself away from the views, the surrounding landscape and harbour town of Seahouses is perfect for a relaxing walk with the dog and a meal out with friends at the local restaurants and pubs. Make the short dander to North Sunderland Beach and sprawl out on the sand – it's a thirteen-minute stroll away. Or, if you fancy switching things up, visit Bamburgh – a six-minute drive away – where you can admire the village's castle and lighthouse while swimming in the North Sea.

Harbourside Horizons

You’ll find all the amenities of Seahouses are just a short walk away. 

Cottage of the Sea

Games Console

You can't beat this home's location. While restaurants, pubs, and Seahouses' picturesque harbour are a five-minute walk away, what we love most is that two miles of sandy beach sits just across the road. Inside, two cosy lounges offer space for both grown-ups and youngsters to unwind – one even has a collection of board games, DVDs, and an XBOX 360 for rainy days. Head outside and you'll find a sunny garden overlooking the Cheviot Hills – perfect for pups and kids to let loose. A ten-minute drive away is Bamburgh Castle, making this an ideal spot to explore the Northumberland Coast. 

The Shore & The Ship

Set within the grounds of the exquisite Glanton Pyke Georgian home, this little cottage opens its doors to the abundant beauty of the Northumberland countryside. 

Located at the foothills of the Cheviot Hills and just a short drive from the beach, you’ll find everything you could need for a restorative retreat – including your own private garden. 

Renovated and styled by an acclaimed interior designer, every detail of this home evokes a wonderful sense of warmth and character. From the antique furnishings to the cosy blankets and crisp linen sheets, it’s the perfect setting to pause, relax and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. So whether you’re cooking with fresh local produce, enjoying a glass of wine by the wood-burning stove or taking an evening stroll through the grounds, this is the kind of home that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired. 

Outside, you’ll find the main house features a 19th-century walled kitchen garden – this is a lovely spot to soak up the atmospheric beauty of this location. 

Days can be spent exploring the rich and diverse landscape of Northumberland. From the wild and stunning beaches along the coast to charming market towns and ancient castles, there are endless ways to experience this special region. And whether you’re hiking, cycling, sightseeing or simply enjoying the views, this cottage provides the perfect little sanctuary – a quiet space to relax in style. 

The Garden Glory  

Whether you’re looking for an exhilarating coastal adventure or a cosy stay by the sea, this apartment welcomes you to enjoy it all with comfort and ease. 

Sitting in the bustling heart of Seahouses with the harbour just a short walk away, the owners have designed this space to feel like a relaxing retreat.

Stepping outside, days can be spent embracing the fresh sea air with long walks along the beach or setting sail on a boat trip to the Farne Islands – you may even spot some grey seals, bottlenose dolphins and puffins during nesting season. You’ll also find Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castle within easy driving distance, while Seahouses provides a wonderful spot to savour quintessential seaside charm with fresh fish and chips. 

Sea on the Breeze

With an idyllic setting with a balcony overlooking the sea – this holiday cottage is a great find – we love the stunning sea vistas. The kitchen/dining room has a door to a west-facing balcony too, great for sunsets. It is just a minute's walk from Seahouses' commercial hub with all of its shops, restaurants and bars. Or from the harbour, you can get a boat to the beautiful Farne Islands or make use of the Ocean Leisure Club (membership is included while staying at this home, but a small entrance fee applies).

Access to Beach

With only forty-six designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the country, you can make your stay truly special by staying within one of these striking landscapes. The Northumberland Coast is home to 14th-century castles, vast sandy beaches, rare wildlife, and dramatic views. And in the aptly named Seahouses, this quaint, coastal settlement is home to this gorgeous abode. Just an eleven-minute walk from the local harbour (from where you can take a boat trip out to spot puffins and lighthouses on the Farne Islands), this charming stone cottage is every bit the traditional, English home you’d expect. However, the interiors are beautifully modern, tasteful and creative. We love the juxtaposition of rustic elements like the wood-burning stove and antique sideboard, with industrial-style lampshades and vibrant art prints on the walls. The skylights on the sloped ceilings bring in that seaside sunshine, but equally make a great spot for stargazing. The private patio is another great location for staring at the Milky Way – of course not before a fresh grill on the barbecue, followed by a few alfresco gin and tonics. But if you'd rather venture out, there's a dog-friendly pub just over the road, while the centre of Seahouses with its array of shops, pubs and restaurants is just a five-minute walk from your front door.

Safety Gates

Sitting way up high in England's top-right corner, this home puts you close to some of the country's most dramatically beautiful coastline. However, it won't take you long to realise that the address offers way more than a convenient spot on the map.

Inside, there's a wealth of space across the two floors and no part feels cramped even in the slightest. The design strikes the perfect chord between contemporary and cosy, with pastel walls playing host to nautical-themed artwork and the fireplace in the living room a lovely spot to gather around during cooler evenings. We've also got kind words for the large kitchen which has a range cooker and enough surface space for many hands to make light work, as the saying goes.

When the weather's on form, the home has an enclosed garden with a barbecue and alfresco seating to enjoy. Only ten minutes' walk away, there's a long stretch of beach in the local village of Beadnell that's just as ready for hi-octane water sports as it is for peaceful strolls along the sand.
