This 3-bedroom cottage is part of a working farm, sitting right behind the sand dunes on the Northumberland coast. You are literally a few metres from one of the best beaches on the Northumberland coast. The beach is just a short stroll across the dunes. Birds wander freely around the farm grounds, making it a genuinely special place to stay.

Newton-by-the-Sea is a quiet coastal village with two pub/restaurants, one with its own micro-brewery. A freshwater nature reserve is nearby and you can walk to Beadnell Bay for rock pooling and water sports. Dark skies make stargazing here exceptional.

The cottage sleeps six across three bedrooms: two doubles and one spacious twin, all with wardrobes and drawers. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and washer/dryer. One bedroom is downstairs, while the bathroom has a P-shaped bath with shower over.

Seahouses, Bamburgh Castle, Craster and Alnwick are all within easy driving distance. A raised decked balcony with table and chairs is perfect for alfresco dining. There's a shared children's play area with swings, slide and climbing frame.

This property suits families and groups wanting direct beach access on the Northumberland coast. Parking for two cars is included with additional free parking on site. See which dates are free and book your stay a few metres from the dunes.
