About The Whinny

The Whinny is a stone-built countryside cottage near South Charlton, just outside Alnwick in Northumberland. The views here are genuinely exceptional from one side you can see the Cheviot Hills and from the other the Northumberland coast including Beadnell village and the Farne Islands.

The cottage sits half a mile along a farm track on a working farm. Lambs appear in the fields in spring. At night there is zero artificial light so stargazing is brilliant. Public footpaths start right from the door for walking and cycling.

The Whinny sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms two king-size rooms each with ensuite shower rooms and a twin room with an ensuite bathroom with mixer shower over the bath. The open-plan kitchen has a wine cooler and a bay window dining area with underfloor heating and coastal views. A wood burner anchors the living space with two sofas and a Smart TV.

Alnwick Castle is 5 miles away (10 mins). Bamburgh Castle and beach is 14 miles (20 mins). Seahouses harbour is 12 miles (18 mins). Holy Island is 22 miles (30 mins).
