This three-bedroom coastal cottage sits on a working farm in Newton-by-the-Sea, Northumberland. The beach is just metres away, a wide sandy stretch along an uninterrupted section of Northumberland coastline with views across Embleton Bay. The raised decked area is perfect for alfresco dining with views across the bay.

The farm setting is genuinely special. Peacocks, wild rabbits and chickens wander the shared lawned garden and dark skies make stargazing excellent. Long Nanny is a short walk for early morning tern watching while Seahouses, Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle are all a short drive away.

The cottage sleeps six across three bedrooms: two double rooms (one with en-suite shower room and WC) and one twin room. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area has exposed beams and a large dining table. The kitchen has a gas hob, coffee machine and dishwasher.

Bamburgh Castle (9.5 miles, 16 mins), Alnwick Castle and Gardens (10 miles, 20 mins), Seahouses harbour for Farne Islands boat trips (7 miles, 13 mins) and Dunstanburgh Castle (3.8 miles, 11 mins) are all close by.

Families and multi-generational groups will love this property. Beach access, a children's play area, a ground-floor bedroom and a brilliant Northumberland location make this a standout coastal base. Pick your dates and book a week of peacocks and sea air at this cottage.
