Drive or walk to the quiet, unspoiled beach at Sugar Sands (1.5 miles), perfect for a stroll and picnic, with hidden coves and miles of golden sand. Spend a day at The Alnwick Garden and Alnwick Castle (4 miles) with many events and activities to add to your itinerary. Explore Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum (2 miles) and experience the Earl Grey Tea House. Enjoy a seafood lunch in Craster (4.5 miles) and walk the coast path to Dunstanburgh Castle.
Enter through the glazed door of this beautifully stylish, single-storey property and you will find yourself in the bright and airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, stone feature walls, and arched windows adding to the sense of character, space, and light. Hang up your coats, store your walking boots, and allow yourself to relax and unwind on the large, comfortable sofa after your day exploring this wonderful area. There is a Smart TV if you want to enjoy a movie night after eating dinner indoors or outside in the garden. The contemporary kitchen has everything you need, including an electric AGA, fridge/freezer, microwave, slimline dishwasher, and a washing machine. Enjoy mealtimes at the dining table, and on warm days, open the glazed door leading to the pretty garden outside. For a good night’s sleep, head through to the generous bedroom with a super-king-size bed and the adjoining dressing area provides plenty of storage space and a dressing table with a hairdryer.

Outside, there is an enclosed garden with garden furniture where you can enjoy al fresco dining and a sheltered, corner seating area, perfect for watching the sunset and dark sky gazing with your favourite drinks.
