The Victorian spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea makes for an excellent seaside escape. It’s a real coastal retreat, surrounded by charming seaside towns and villages – you can use Saltburn as your base for exploring the area. 

This charming apartment is ideal for romantic getaways, and equally well suited to solo stays by the sea. We love the traditional beams and cosy, homey vibe. You’ll feel at home the instant you arrive at this stylish abode. Best of all, the apartment boasts sea views. Wake up each morning to see the sea rushing ashore. Step out onto the balcony to sip your morning coffee, and breathe in the sea air. The blue-tiled kitchen is a lovely spot for your meals, whether you’ve whipped up a cooked breakfast or are unwrapping fish and chips for your evening meal. 

It’s just a short walk down to the beach, where you can build sandcastles, skim stones, or even try out the surf. Saltburn is also home to the UK’s oldest functioning cliff lift – enjoy the ride down to the promenade. Later on, stroll along the 208-metre-long pier with an ice cream – we do love to be beside the sea. 


Beach Blues

At Ullswater Lake, the second biggest in the Lake District, you’ll find a diverse range of landscapes and activities as you hike around its enormous perimeter. From the quaint village of Pooley Bridge, with traditional pubs and cute restaurants, take a fourteen-minute stroll to reach an altogether different scene – an isolated, romantic boathouse. As you arrive, its stone walls and wooden balcony look gloriously rustic. You could even plan to arrive by boat and pull up to the private jetty. From every angle, the surroundings of this home are striking – leafy trees, the glistening lake, and rolling mountains across the water make this setting feel quite special. Inside, the traditional theme continues with chunky beams and vintage furniture. We love the glossy, lacquered wooden pieces in the lounge, as well as the understated chandelier bringing a romantic glow in the evening. Take a look around while you wait for the wood-burning stove to heat up – the bedroom is quite magnificent. A luxurious cushioned headboard, freestanding copper bathtub, and private balcony set over the water are just a few of the fabulous features. Wrap up in your fluffy bathrobes and settle into lakeside living.

Dukes & Duchesses

When a home is surrounded by beautiful scenery, the interior really has to up its game in order to stand a chance of being noticed and thankfully that's the case with this address. Large floor-to-ceiling windows let in ample amounts of natural daylight, which dances pleasingly off the wooden floors. Added to that, we liked the kitchen finished in a fetching shade of purple, the cosy wood-burning stove in the living room and the smart-looking bathrooms. Combined all together, it's almost enough to distract you from the stunning view of Lake Ullswater watched over by undulating hilltops. When you're in the mood to swoon, there's a terrace complete with alfresco seating so you can dine with this sweeping panorama in front of your eyes. The property itself sits on the Ullswater Way — a walking route that goes around the water — and you can easily reach other natural landmarks on foot. Aira Force waterfall, for instance, takes just over an hour and a half.

Grass of Parnassus

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

This charming Tudor castle, built in 1560, has been fully restored to create the perfect romantic retreat for two. Set in the picturesque Teesdale landscape, this historic property is located near the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park, as well as the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Guests can admire the ornate roof beams carved from oak trees felled over 400 years ago in the dining hall, and relax in the cosy living room with a wood-burning stove set within a Tudor fireplace. The bedroom features a double bed on an oak floor adorned with Persian rugs and offers stunning views of the walled garden and the high moors beyond. The property also boasts an enclosed courtyard garden and two designated parking spaces. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small additional charge.

The Daffodil Garden

This historic, yet recently refurbished cottage is nestled in the delightful village of Newbrough in the heart of Northumberland. The cottage has been lovingly renovated and redecorated to a high standard and features everything you could need for the most relaxing of holidays, including a number of modern features. Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms, North Cottage is perfect for family getaways or a staycation with friends. Discover a rustic retreat where tranquility awaits amidst lush whispering woods. Immerse yourself in the serene sanctuary of this charming oasis that exudes vintage charm. Step into the idyllic haven and unwind in the cozy haven where nature's embrace creates a blissful abode. Experience an enchanting getaway in this timeless treasure that offers a peaceful escape from the noise, welcoming you to a harmonious house filled with tranquility.

The Five Eyes

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. 

Grand Entrance

Sitting just a short walk from Saltburn-by-the-Sea’s centre and beach, this comfortable home offers the perfect getaway for a family or group of friends looking to explore the beauty of the North Yorkshire coast.

Step inside to be met with a light-filled living area that’s perfect for gathering together over drinks and card games after a day at the beach. There’s a further seating area equipped with a wood-burning stove that beckons evenings snuggled up by its warmth while a homecooked meal bubbles away in the well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs, meanwhile, three cosy bedrooms invite a restful night’s sleep in their crisp, comfy sheets. 

You’ve got a small patio area to the back of the home that’s perfect for throwing a ball around with the kids, as well as a front porch area with a bench that calls for alfresco coffees when the sun’s out. 

As for exploring nearby, you’re a fifteen-minute walk from Saltburn Beach and its Victorian Pier, while plenty of independent shops, seafood restaurants and bistros are within easy walking distance too. 


Sea Life

Spend dewy mornings perched in the window seat overlooking the leafy garden with a coffee in hand. With modern home furnishings and characterful original features, this apartment in Durham offers a peaceful escape from the woes of your daily grind. Whip up comforting homemade meals in the kitchen before curling up around the living room's seating area for group games nights or some chillout time in front of the TV. 

Situated in a historic building, the space brings warmth and homeliness to rainy days and chilly months. Meanwhile, the home's surrounding nature, luscious green landscapes and town centre conveniences set the scene for a peaceful retreat. 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.


Dewy Mornings 

Located in a historic building – which was once old school rooms – this flat has been lovingly restored with high standard décor and furnishings throughout providing the perfect comfortable break. Start your days here with a cup of Yorkshire tea alfresco at the bistro table on warmer mornings before you head out and explore the area. 

A three-minute walk will bring you to the beautiful cobbled market square which offers an array of great food and drink options – whether you just want a short rest, a light lunch, or a delicious meal out in the evening. Visit Richmond Castle – reachable on foot within seven minutes, or watch a play at the Georgian Theatre Royal – a five-minute walk away. 

Stunning country walks are also on offer, with the Swale Waterfalls and river walk just ten minutes from your door on foot, or head further afield to the picturesque scenery of the Yorkshire Dales – a twenty-two-minute drive away. 

For dinnertime, you’re spoilt for choice with the Old Richmond Station – that has not only three cinema screens and an art gallery but also award-winning food and drink producers – a ten-minute walk away, or take advantage of the cookery books provided by your host and cook something new and delicious at home. 

Riches of Richmond

It seems quite fitting that a home situated in the heart of the picturesque and historic County Durham should be equally charming – and this cottage nestled on the edge of the village of Hurworth fits the bill perfectly. Surrounded by lush woodlands and steps away from the river Tees, this is an ideal spot to base yourself if you wish to enjoy the tranquillity and natural beauty of this region. 

While the cottage retains its original character, the inside has been fully renovated and restored, offering all the modern comforts to make your stay a restful one. Step through the front door to be greeted by a bright and welcoming interior, with a cosy living room, perfect for lounging about and enjoying movie nights and evenings of wine and conversation by the fire. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen inspires to create delicious feasts which can be shared with your loved ones either indoors or out in the privacy of the back garden.

For a night of rest and relaxation head upstairs, where you can unwind in the luxurious bathtub before getting some quality sleep in the comfy bedrooms. Wake up restored and plan your day’s adventures with a cup of coffee in the garden. 

Why not head to the village and enjoy lunch at one of the lovely pubs or drive over to nearby Darlington for a spot of shopping. Just minutes down the road you'll also find the Rockliffe Hall Golf Hotel & Spa resort, set on a 365-acre estate and boasting one of the UK’s largest spas, an 18-hole championship golf course and multiple restaurants including fine dining options.

Let's Walk By the River

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.
