A restored former schoolhouse in the quiet Northumberland village of Edlingham, this cottage trades classroom chalk for vaulted timber beams, an inglenook with a wood-burning stove, and art by local artists that roots you firmly in the landscape. Evenings call for a long soak in the freestanding bathtub or gathering around the fire pit in the enclosed garden. Alnwick Castle and its gardens are six miles away, and the golden sands of Alnmouth beach are just a short drive further – a genuinely rewarding corner of the north-east to explore.

About The Northumberland Coast
Right at the top of England, Northumberland’s great expanse is dotted with medieval strongholds that have seen many a bloody battle. A landscape rich with history, you can explore the crumbling ruins of clifftop castles or tour restored and retained masterpieces at Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle.
