This well-appointed retreat sits on a working farm in Newton-by-the-Sea, Northumberland and offers two bedrooms. One of nine lodges on site, it sits tucked behind the sand dunes with the beach just a five-minute walk away. The National Trust owns most of the village and surrounding countryside, keeping it beautifully unspoilt.

Newton-by-the-Sea is a quiet coastal village with a traditional square at its heart. The village has a country pub serving food and a second beachside pub with its own micro-brewery. Bird watching, beach walking, cycling and golf are all on the doorstep. Day trips to Alnwick, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island are easy from here.

The lodge sleeps four across two first-floor bedrooms, one double and one twin, both with countryside views and dual windows. Downstairs is a bright open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with wall-to-wall windows. There is one shower room plus a separate ground-floor WC. Up to two dogs are welcome.

Dunstanburgh Castle (3.8 miles, 11 min drive), Howick Hall (8.2 miles, 15 min drive), Bamburgh Castle (9.5 miles, 16 min drive) and Alnwick Castle (10.3 miles, 20 min drive) are all within easy reach.

This lodge suits families and dog owners who want a south-west facing sun-trap deck, great beaches and easy access to some of Northumberland's finest coastline and castles. Pick your dates for beach mornings and sun-trap deck evenings and get your Newton-by-the-Sea stay booked.
