Dating back to 1823, this beautifully renovated fisherman’s cottage is the perfect base for exploring the rugged Northumberland Coast. Craster’s working harbour is pretty much at your front door, and most of the rooms have spectacular views across the sea and the charming village. Follow your nose to the local smokehouse and taste their famous kippers (reputedly a favourite of the Royal Family), explore the magnificent Dunstanburgh Castle, or just sit and watch the fishing boats lazily bobbing on the harbour. The Northumberland Coastal Path is easily accessed from the south of the village, for sweeping panoramas and secret beaches. Come back to your pretty cottage to watch the sun set from the terrace, where outdoor dining is set up. Snuggle down in front of the wood-burning stove, set in the original stone wall of the cottage lounge. Rustle up a meal in the cosy nook of a kitchen or head out to dine on fresh seafood.

Such is the proximity to the picturesque harbour, you can sometimes smell the crisp scent of the sea air from the comfort of your home. The glistening water and passing boats can be seen from your home – an inspiring view to wake up to and prepare you for a day on Craster's coast. 

The attic of the home has been transformed into a cosy snug room, formed of comfy seats and an inverted roof. Children might want to use it as a fun bunker or adults can take advantage of the privacy and relax with a glass of wine. 

Downstairs, the home radiates with a stylish and contemporary decor. Light, wooden flooring decorates the kitchen and living rooms, creating a bright, roomy vibe to each space. The living room has pretty views of the harbour – it's a cosy spot to curl up and watch the gentle waves of the water. 

If you fancied a closer look, you can stroll to the harbour and the gorgeous coastline in just a few minutes. Whilst you're out, visit the various eating spots along the shore or pick up some snacks to enjoy at the dining table.

A perfect getaway for two, this cottage delivers on all fronts. It's bright and contemporary, but the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams add a rustic touch that suits the surrounding landscape. Inside, a light-filled living area opens onto a gorgeous patio. Sipping champagne as the sun goes down will become your evening ritual – keep an eye out for wild rabbits and rare birds flying overhead. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it's well-stocked and well-suited to rustling up delicious breakfasts and other light meals. We also adore the sleigh bed – it's as comfortable as it looks, and nothing beats sinking into the plush sheets after a day of exploring. Speaking of exploring, you're only a five-minute drive from Alnwick, a charming market town with a famous castle. Roam the cobbled streets lined with independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, then head up to the castle for a history lesson or wander the gardens. Drive ten minutes in the opposite direction and you'll hit the Northumberland coast – both Boulmer and Alnmouth are great options if you fancy a day by the seaside.

This charming, cosy and comfortable cottage is perfect for families seeking to explore the Northumbrian coast. You’ll love taking your morning coffee out onto the patio, whipping up family favourites in the fully-equipped kitchen and, in the summer months, dining alfresco in the garden. Laze on the sofas in the living room by the electric wood-burning stove or kick back and relax with a glass of wine and a good book. At the day’s end indulge in a long, hot soak in the tub before bed.

Alternatively, pack a picnic and spend the day at the beach, basking in the sun and swimming in the sea, or trying your hand at sailing, windsurfing or fishing. Follow the coastal path for views of dramatic cliff-top ruins before popping into one of the local pubs for a pint or a smattering of supper. Should you want to venture a little further the historic market town of Alnwick with its impressive castle and gardens is 9 miles away, while Seahouses, Bamburgh and Craster are also all within easy reach.

This welcome, family home is a wonderful base for your coastal getaway. Nestled on a leafy street in the idyllic village of Newton-by-the-Sea, you’ll love exploring this gorgeous slice of the Northumberland Coast as much as enjoying this sociable base.

Newton-by-the-Sea is dotted with traditional cream-washed cottages, and this charming abode is no different. Inside, the classic yet contemporary interior makes a lovely home-from-home, with polished hardwood floors, bright walls, a gas-burning fireplace, and cosy furnishings. We love the soft blue and sandy tones, exuding comfort while drawing inspiration from the coastal location. And if that doesn’t get you embracing being beside the seaside, the cute beach-themed artwork will. 

Every space has been designed with sociable families in mind. It’s open and inviting, with a beautiful kitchen that’s perfect for gathering around the kitchen island, preparing meals together as a group. The conservatory is another bright and homely space. It’s particularly lovely in the mornings with the sunlight pouring in through the ceiling windows while you savour a nice, hot coffee. Or, you can take your coffee out to the patioed garden and breathe in the fresh seaside air.  

Whether you plan on spending your days windsurfing, sailing, relaxing on the beach, bird watching, or exploring the quaint village, there’s a lot to love about Newton-by-the-Sea. Tuck into an obligatory lunch of fish and chips on the beach and explore the village’s historical churches. Return home to catch the last of the afternoon sun in your garden with a good glass of wine, before getting the barbecue going for a grilled feast.

Wisteria Lane

This home is a lesson in not being misled by first impressions. Yes, it's a stone cottage sitting in the middle of a farm, but step behind the front door and you'll find an interior that's as bright and contemporary as any.

Much of this is down to the bountiful amounts of natural light that streams through the glass doors and roof lantern, although the stark white walls and reflective wooden floors help, too. As well as a long kitchen finished in a muted grey, there's a stylish collection of furnishings dotted about the space, too.

However, it's not just easy on the eye. The wood-burning stove is lovely to have crackling away in the background during the chillier months, but there's a southeast-facing garden complete with a lounge and large lawn should the weather gods be smiling down on you during your visit.

If that's the case, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor adventures in the nearby Northumberland Coast Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty, from Dunstanburgh Castle fifteen minutes' drive away to the sands of Embleton Bay only ten minutes away.

Windswept Majesty

Library of Books

Board Games

Situated in a Grade II-listed building dating back to 1878, we can't help but swoon over this Alnwick apartment. It doesn't lack character, that's for sure – vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and antique knick-knacks like typewriters and old books are in abundance. We think it's the perfect blend of old and new, and nowhere is a better example of that than the open-plan living area. Bright and roomy, there's more than enough space here to spread out and get comfortable, whether you're tucking into a feast around the table or snuggling up in front of the fire. Cooking is anything but a chore in the glossy kitchen, and on rainy days, head up to the mezzanine for board games and billiards. There's also a communal garden for the summer months, where you can sip tea in the sunshine or cocktails at twilight.

And the location is excellent, too. Alnwick is as charming as they come, sprinkled with history and magic – no wonder they filmed Harry Potter here. Spend afternoons wandering down the cobbled lanes, popping in and out of the independent shops, cafes and bookstores that line the high street. The famous Alnwick Castle is just a short walk away, while the Northumberland coast is a thirteen-minute drive. In the evenings, forgo the home-cooking for a pint, delicious pub grub and live music at one of the cosy inns in town.

Watching the Wheels

Cafetiere

Balcony

If there’s a better spot to catch the sunset in Northumberland, we’re yet to find it. Surrounded by miles of verdant fields and hills, this charming stone-brick home really makes the most of its secluded, bucolic setting. Huge windows and glass doors overlook the vista – you’re forever immersed in the serene surroundings. And with a wealth of walking routes on your doorstep and quaint towns within easy reach, this is a wonderful choice for your rural retreat. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find a bright yet cosy interior that draws upon contemporary and classic styles. Families will love the sociable space – the kitchen might be super-sleek and modern, but it’s still the heart of the home. From gathering around the kitchen island for afternoon glasses of wine to good-spirited board games around the dining table – memories are made here. 

The views that wrap around the home are sure to lead you out to the balcony – the perfect place to savour a fresh morning coffee. Come dusk, pull a chair outside and soak up the unobstructed sunset with a glass of wine. 

When it comes to exploring the area, you’re in the historic village of Rock – explore the village pubs, cafes, and simply enjoy the rural setting. Slightly further afield you have the popular market town of Alnwick and its famous castle, independent shops, and eateries.

Castle Island

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

Located in the picturesque village of Rock, this modern Northumbrian stone house is perfect for family get-togethers. With a peaceful rural location and within easy driving distance of Alnwick market town, Embleton Bay and the famous Harry Potter castle, it's the ideal place to unwind and explore. This home is set amongst others on a private conservational estate, so you may bump into neighbouring guests during your stay, though you’ll have a private drive and parking here. The house is fairly minimal but the wood-burning stove is perfect for family nights in, the snug room offers a retreat for teens of the group, and the large garden provides a wendy house and swings for the kids. 

Bask in the Light

Free Parking On Street

Nestled in Northumberland's medieval market town of Alnwick, surrounded by country fields, traditional pubs and independent shops, this classic cottage is the perfect cosy retreat for two or a small family. Boasting a decked patio, begin the day by sipping your coffee in the crisp morning air, before heading out to explore.

Beyond the charming stone facade, you’ll find a homey living room where comfortable furnishings, soft tones and a wood-burning fireplace keeps things warm and inviting. Plenty of natural light pours in throughout the home, including the dining room. The kitchen continues the cottage feel with its sage green colour palette and cream cupboards. And lastly, the bedrooms are cosy havens, so you'll relish returning home from a busy day spent discovering the local area for a restful night's sleep.

Heart of Stone

With enough space for a large family get-together, this holiday home is three storeys of rural comfort; from its two plush living rooms (boasting sea views from bay windows and a woodburner fire) to its five charming bedrooms. The kitchen is equipped with a range cooker and leads into the open dining area, where you’ll serve meals for up to ten guests at the traditional refectory-style table. The home sits just outside of the idyllic village of Embleton, just a half hour stroll through the countryside to the sweeping sands of Embleton Bay beach, where you can continue on to Newton by the Sea for a pint at The Ship Inn’s microbrewery. If you’re the golfing sort, play a round at the Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course or explore the National Trust castle itself for a dose of local history. 

Coastal Memories

Throws

With views of the castle and the historic quarter right on its doorstep, it’s safe to say this home has one of the best locations in the market town of Alnwick. Explore its wander-worthy cobbled streets lined with independent shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. Or escape the bustle with a walk around the vast twelve acres of Alnwick’s Garden, just a five-minute stroll from your door. Make sure to seek out the world’s largest treehouse restaurant and the cascade of 21 separate waterfalls - it’s quite something.

Back home, this stylish townhouse dating back to the 1800s makes quite the first impression. Set out over three floors, exposed brick walls and traditional beams show the bones of its historical past while everywhere else has been beautifully reimagined into a luxurious holiday retreat. Upside down in layout, the bedrooms are downstairs, saving those castle views on the top floor for the impressive living space. Whip up a meal in the striking blue, modern kitchen while others spill out to the dining table and break out the games. Or crash out by the fire on the squishy modular sofas. Those charming castle views will be right there wherever you choose to be.

Pack up your buckets and spades for an easy, breezy family holiday by the sea with your four-legged friends in tow. This newly built home, set in a quiet spot of the postcard-pretty seaside village of Beadnell and just a short flip-flop from the beach, delivers all the goods.

Drop your bags off and head to Beadnell's golden sands (a 0.5-mile walk) for water sports action and sandcastle-making marathons. Then dive into one of the local pubs (one mile away) for a swift pint, hearty grub, and a warm welcome.

Fancy breaking things up with an afternoon at a swimming pool and spa? Then make use of the host's membership to The Ocean Club in nearby Seahouses. You can book in for a fitness class, treatments and a splash about the children's pool. And if the kids have any energy left, closer to home, you'll find a playground and grassed area for a runabout.

When it's finally time for a rest up, you'll love how fresh and inviting this home feels. Catch the last of the sun with barbecues in the garden. Or hunker down inside around the farmhouse-style dining table for family feasts before cosy film nights beside the fire. 

Upstairs, you find three light-filled bedrooms, united with nautical vibes to remind us the sea is never far away. And kids will love the novelty of the bunkbeds, so there's no need for top and tail squabbles here.


Sweet Promise

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.

Alnmouth Sanctuary

Desk / Workplace

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.

Situated right on the water in Northumberland, a few miles from Bamburgh, this home is a great place to stay if you’re looking to explore the North Sea Coast. Inside, you’ll find a stylish kitchen and living area, while outside, there’s a private garden, where you can spend time relaxing in the sun or dining al fresco. When you’re not embarking on coastal walks, stroll over to the centre of Beadnell to spot fishing boats at the waterfront. This historic village leads onto Beadnell Bay, where visitors can go scuba diving, surfing and sailing – although you might want to wait until the warmer months. Look out for little tern, as a colony of national importance resides here, as do Arctic tern.

Underfloor Heating

Stay in an elegant country house with this apartment near Beadnell Bay. It has all the character you’d expect such as tall shuttered windows, a handmade kitchen and a roaring open fire for when the weather turns colder. That's not to say it's without modern comforts – there's underfloor heating here to keep your toes toasty. The main highlight, we’d say though, is the fact that it’s just a ten-minute walk from the beach. Beadnell Bay's long stretch of sand is perfect for bucket-and-spade holidays, while the locale also boasts many coastal walks with stunning views of cliff-top ruins, including Dunstanburgh Castle.

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.

Single-Level Home

As one of forty-six regions named Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Northumberland Coast certainly has an accolade to live up to. From quaint fishing villages to castles, follow the coastal path two miles up to Seahouses, or take a longer trip down to Alnmouth for fish and chips. And closer to home, less than a mile from Beadnell Bay Beach,  your apartment in this former Georgian hotel has seen the smiles on the faces of many guests over the years.

Built in elegant pale grey stone, the building has the appearance of a manor house. With hospitality in its blood, it sits upon a half-acre of lush, shared grounds for visitors to enjoy. Make the most of sunny afternoons – cucumber sandwiches on the lawn with a teapot of Earl Grey (or gin and tonic at sunset). You can also brunch in private in your enclosed garden, with a patio and dining set for entertaining.

Stepping inside this grand, Georgian abode, feast your eyes on an equally grand decor. Opulent and ornate, the drawing room is the historic heart of the home. Flowing curtains with gold trim, an original marble fireplace, and a magnificent Persian-style rug are just some of its character-filled features. There’s no better place to sip champagne than at the antique-style dining table – unless of course, you take the sleigh bed or bathtub into account.

Gin in Teapots

This home is the perfect retreat for those looking for functional and comfortable living by the sea. The living area is bright and spacious, with doors leading to a furnished deck – the ideal spot to enjoy a fish supper. Views of the coast are enjoyed from two of the bedrooms and the front patio, but if you’d like to get a closer look, Beadnell Haven is around a ten-minute walk away. With water sports available locally, as well as numerous castles to explore in Northumberland, this place has something for everyone.

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

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.

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.

Songs of the Sea

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

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.

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.

Long Walks on the Beach

Access to Beach

Hammock

When we say you’re footsteps from the beach here, we mean it. A stone staircase leads directly from this home to the soft sand of Smuggler’s Bay, so you’ve got beach days at your fingertips. Plus, you’re in the charming village of Beadnell, where there’s a convenience store, cosy pub and a bistro for a more formal dinner.

The home itself is like the beach houses of New England, with an atrium-style glass front showing off that direct sea view. The outdoors is set up to enjoy the sound of the waves with a hammock, outdoor dining and seating on the balcony too. There are two living areas to choose from inside – the light-filled lounge on the first floor leading to the balcony, or the leather seats in the open-plan living area downstairs. The dining area opens out onto the terrace and the kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. We love the decor inside, rich dark wood and blue to reflect your seaside locale. 

Driftwood & Sea Foam

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

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.
