This 2-bedroom cottage is a single-storey property in Christon Bank near Embleton on the Northumberland coast. It sleeps four guests across two bedrooms. The inglenook fireplace in the open-plan lounge is a real focal point and the wood flooring gives the space an unfussy feel.

Northumberland's coastline is close by. Embleton Bay, Low Newton-by-the-Sea and Beadnell Bay are all within easy reach for rock pooling, picnics and water sports. Walk to the village pub from the cottage or head out on the coastal path. The west-facing enclosed garden is perfect for evening sunsets and stargazing.

Two bedrooms sleep four, with the double at the rear and the twin at the front, which has its own en-suite shower and WC. There is also a family bathroom with electric shower over the bath. The galley kitchen has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine.

Bamburgh Castle is 9.5 miles away and Craster is just 5 miles for seafood and the Dunstanburgh Castle coastal walk. Farne Islands boat trips leave from Seahouses and Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum is also worth a visit.

Up to two dogs are welcome. This getaway suits couples, small families and dog owners who want to explore one of England's finest coastlines. Check which weeks are free and book your coastal break with the dogs in tow.
