The gas fire in the sitting room gives instant heat, making it a delightfully warm and welcoming room in which to batten down the hatches and relax on the sumptuous sofas after a hard day's sightseeing. This Alnmouth cottage is also in a perfect location for enjoying many walks from the doorstep and exploring the endless delights of the Heritage Coast, Warkworth Castle, Amble Marina, Alnwick Castle and gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster (famous for its kippers), Beadnell village and Bamburgh Castle, which are all less than a thirty minute drive away. A little further are Hadrian's Wall, Holy Island and Cragside house and gardens at Rothbury. Alternatively, with Alnmouth station only half a mile from this cottage why not jump on the train? Newcastle is only 25 minutes away and you can be in Edinburgh in just over an hour. This Alnmouth cottage is in a great position to explore this lovely county all through the year. The village of Lesbury has a community run shop a few minutes walk from the cottage selling daily provisions including bread, dairy products, meat and vegetables. Some alcoholic drinks and other local produce as well as newspapers. The Coach Inn, in Lesbury, is a five minute walk from the cottage and after being closed for the past 4 years reopened in February 2024 following refurbishment currently it is open from midday until 11pm but closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, at the moment there is no food available as the kitchen requires a full refurbishment that is planned to take place later this year when the pub will again be closed for a short period.

The beautiful and tranquil village of Alnmouth is a favourite destination for golfing and fishing enthusiasts, as the area boasts a superb links course and several fine rivers. There are also miles of sandy beaches featuring the characteristic Northumbrian sand dunes. Alnmouth is situated between the River Aln and the North Sea, and was at one time the port for Alnwick. Besides a wealth of natural beauty, the village offers a number of attractive shops and restaurants.
