This incredible day out presents guests of all ages and interests with the chance to admire the coastline from a different angle whilst spotting puffins, seals and even pods of dolphins in the North Sea.

We found the cottage very comfortable and well equipped. The beds were comfortable as was the lounge furniture. There was a good range of toys/games etc for the children as well as a supply of interesting books. It is located in a quiet rural location (with parking for two cars in front of the garage) but only a short distance from the beaches and Read morefrom Seahouses for shopping and the boat trips to the Farne Islands. Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh are also within easy reach. Hide

We have stayed in the Coastal Retreats Bradshawgate Cottages for the past few years, so of course our children were devastated that the field was no longer available to play on, and the games room is long gone. There were a few other things missing this time that we have become accustomed to from Coastal Retreats, most notably the lovely welcome Read morebag; also a bbq and access to the toy cupboard. The cottage this time felt quite tired and in need of some maintenance, and the information booklet also requires some updates. Hide

We had a fantastic week in the cottage! We loved exploring Amble, Alnmouth and Walkworth. We spent a great day at Alnwick Castle. The new playground "Lilidori" was excellent. We would highly recommend eating at "the Dirty Bottles". The cottage is very well equipped and very comfortable! We will definitely be coming back.

Driftwood is a very cosy cottage with lots of fun and games. You could go to Dunstinbrough Castle or Bamburgh beach. I enjoyed coasteering but at the end of it we were all freezing because of the wind! When we all go home we all played games like: domino's, top trumps, chess, jenga and a jigsaw shark that can stand by itself. There were two beanbagRead mores, and armchair and two sofa's. When my cousins came over we all played hide and seek. Driftwood is such an amazing place for people of all ages. Hide
