Linkhouse Farm Cottage sits within the grounds of a working farm at Newton-by-the-Sea in Northumberland just metres from a sandy beach. The garden overlooks the sand dunes and on clear days you can see Dunstanburgh Castle from the nearby beaches. This is a two-bedroom cottage sleeping four with two bathrooms.

Newton-by-the-Sea is a quiet coastal spot near Beadnell. You can walk miles of sandy beach straight from the door. The coastal path runs from Low Newton to Beadnell Bay. Craster village is reachable along the beach. There's golf at Dunstanburgh and sailing and windsurfing nearby. Dark skies at night make stargazing from the garden genuinely impressive.

The cottage has a spacious lounge with comfortable sofas and an electric wood burner set in a stone fireplace. The master bedroom has a double bed and dressing table. The twin room has its own en-suite shower room with WC. A sunroom with French doors overlooks the garden and dunes.

Dunstanburgh Castle (2 miles, 6 mins), Craster Harbour (3 miles, 8 mins), Beadnell Bay (4 miles, 10 mins) and Alnwick Castle (12 miles, 22 mins) are all within easy reach.

Linkhouse Farm Cottage suits couples and small families who want direct beach access in Northumberland. Private parking for two cars and a shared children's play area add real practicality.
