This two-bedroom cottage comes with some top-notch outdoor space, from the two enclosed gardens to the acres of sandy coastline just across the common, ideal for kids and dogs to run off some steam. The sea views will please the adults too, with binoculars to watch Boulmer’s fishing boats coming and going, and a soothing soundtrack of rolling waves. Walk the coast and cycle route, browse the quirky village art gallery and enjoy a well-deserved drink or meal in the pub 500 metres up the road.
A tasty sample of local goodies awaits you on arrival, including special treats for the furry visitors, so get the kettle on and sit back on the comfortable leather sofas in the lounge/diner. The kids can get settled in their twin bedroom while the dogs sniff out the gardens. The fully-equipped kitchen has plenty of space to prepare family dinners, which you can all enjoy at the dining table, or even outside if the weather is kind.
Leave the car parked and spend the week exploring the local area here, with a rugged beach that’s perfect for poking about under seaweed and uncovering hidden treasures or enjoying a paddle in the clear waters. Kids will love strolling up the coast to discover secret coves such as picturesque Sugar Sands, and the more adventurous can try their hand at windsurfing. Older families and energetic pups can make the most of a receding tide and walk the sandy coastline down to pretty Alnmouth, about 3 miles away, or perhaps take a longer walk via Craster to the mighty ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, 7 miles away.
