Providing a tranquil base to explore the seaside, this home is cosy and practical. Modern in decor, and homely in feel, this is a lovely backdrop for a romantic getaway or for the whole family. Soft wood-effect flooring, wallpapered alcoves and a gentle touch of blue washed throughout the home to reflect the proximity to the sea – we love its simplicity and nod to nature. In colder months, set the ambience with the log-effect fire and snuggle into the Chesterfield-style sofa with a good book to stretch out the evening hours. In summer, if you don’t fancy sampling the local fish and chips, rustle up a delicious meal in your well-equipped kitchen and dine alfresco on the private terrace.

Originally an old stables for wagon horses, this hidden home at the end of an old farm road offers a haven of peace amidst the fresh sea air on the golden coast of Cambois Beach. 

Designed using recycled materials and furnishings, this beach cottage's interiors nod to the home's original heritage with a modern twist. We particualrly love the independently commissioned photography that graces the walls and offers conversational talking points similar to those of an art gallery.  

Bright and airy, the art of relaxation comes easy here. And with the beach accessible via a 20-metre path north of the cottage, you can be on the beach or soaking up views of its sandy shores from the private garden in no time. 

If you plan to embark on golfing days, cycling trips and kayaking excursions when staying here, the host will be happy to arrange storage space in advance, so you do not need to worry about where you'll put your equipment. 




The Old Stone Stables

Balcony

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.

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.

Looking for luxury? This apartment in the coastal town of Tynemouth is the picture of lavish elegance. With so much room, you won't believe this whole apartment is just for the two of you. Not only is the home decorated beautifully, but it's also in the heart of the town, just a short walk away from the sandy beach. 

The living room has the feel of a grand hall – statue busts, twinkling chandeliers, prestigious artwork, and a rich mahogany dining table exude opulence. You'll love spending evenings here, the gas-burning stove warming you up from the inside out, while you sip on good wine and enjoy the lighthearted conversation. 

Not only does the kitchen look wonderful, but the top-notch appliances will convince even the most reluctant of chefs to rustle up something, even just once. Mornings here are particularly lovely with the early light pouring in through the large windows, while you enjoy a hearty breakfast around the farmhouse-style kitchen table. 

When you want to explore, you're steps away from the town's independent cafes, restaurants, bars, galleries, and more. Take morning walks around the Victorian boating lake with a coffee in hand, before enjoying a lunch of fish and chips along the sandy beach. Then, take a stroll along the promenade, popping into a pub for a nice afternoon pint.

Quaint and quiet, the Northumberland fishing village of Amble is home to seafood shacks on the seafront, an old stone harbour where fishing boats still land the catch of the day, and a beach hut market selling locally-made crafts and specialities. This coastal townhouse sits in the heart of Amble, looking out to the boats in the marina. The main street, lined with seafood restaurants, shops and tea rooms, is just a two-minute walk away.

Welcome to one of the best views in Northumberland. This contemporary apartment looks out across the gentle flow of boats passing through the calm water at the marina. Whether you're sitting on the balcony or relaxing in the living room, the view is the highlight of the home. 

We suggest moseying over to the balcony on warm days, feeling the serenity of the harbour relax the mind and body. Make yourself a coffee from the Nespresso machine as you soak in the tranquility. 

On colder days, perch with a coffee at the stylish breakfast bar, lined by high-rising wooden stools. The wooden stools complement the living space's aesthetic – light, wooden flooring supports rustic, wooden furniture. 

It's a space that radiates with natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling terrace doors. It's been carefully designed to make use of every inch, creating a cosy space that feels bright and uncluttered. 

In the evenings, the room transcends into a sleepy haven of relaxation. Curl up with a book on the sofa or chat away at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine. For a more lively scene, the bars and restaurants near the marina are just a short walk away.

Or on a chilly evening, it’s even better for stargazing with a hot toddy in hand. Inside, the living space is a welcoming mix of old and new. The stylish, light-grey kitchen is understated and modern. But we love the traditional countryside features such as flagstone flooring and a sandstone, inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. You feel like you've gone back in time when you’re stoking the flames with the cast-iron tools, and adding fresh logs from the wicker basket. And there’s plenty of history to discover outside the home too – take a thirty-five-minute walk to the 2000-year-old Chesters Roman Fort and Museum on Hadrian’s Wall.

Surrounded by trees with a private garden and hot tub, this is the perfect setting to gather and celebrate life’s special moments. Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space designed to bring comfort and ease to your countryside escape. 

From slow mornings gathered around the table to brisk walks, lazy afternoons cuddled up on the sofa and evening drinks shared in the kitchen, this is the kind of home that inspires you to settle in and make it your own. And when you’re ready to slip into bed, you’ll find the three bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) set the tone for total relaxation. 

For explorations further afield, it’s just a short ten-minute drive to the National Trust’s Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens, while the surrounding countryside is brimming with hiking and cycle trails as well as charming pubs. You’ll also find Newcastle is just a thirty-minute drive away. 

Ivy Stone

This annexe home is the ideal bolthole for couples or solo travellers looking to surround themselves with stunning nature. With beautiful views over the working farmland and rolling hills from the upstairs balcony and a garden complete with a stream and plenty of shaded reading nooks, you’ll have everything you need to disconnect and unwind. Inside, a fireplace is a nice touch too – ideal for cooler evenings with a glass of wine. When you’re ready to explore, there’s plenty of hiking and cycling routes nearby, and Alston is easily reachable by car where you’ll find ample shops, fascinating history and fabulous views of the North Pennines.


The Blue Stone

Within an hours' drive of Edinburgh, this countryside cottage in the Scottish Borders town of Greenlaw enjoys the best of both worlds. While you have the option to head to the city for the day, you can also stay put, enjoying moorland views and hill walks — Berwick-upon-Tweed and its coastline is only half an hour's drive away, too. The recently refurbished interior is a lovely place to return to after time spent out in the elements, with comfy furnishings positioned around the log burner sure to have you feeling warm and toasty again. Failing that, a long soak in the bathtub will do the trick. When the weather is favourable, you can take full advantage of the home's front garden surrounded by a stone wall, which has a pretty view of Scottish hillsides and a barbecue for those bursts of balmy weather.

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?

You'll find Durham's town centre a short ten-minute walk away – packed with beautiful charm, the city's Medieval heritage, cobbled streets and independent bars, pubs and restaurants await with open arms.
