A spacious, family-friendly cottage, enjoying several original features, is set in the open countryside near the Northumberland coast. It’s ideal for a large, multi-generational family or a group of friends. The town of Alnwick, with its castle, cobblestone market square and Lilidorei- the world's largest play structure, lies 8 miles away, while there is more history to discover at Bamburgh Castle (8.5 miles) which overlooks a sandy beach that will take you to the bustling fishing village of Seahouses (3.5 miles). Numerous footpaths also begin virtually from the front door.

Inside, the lounge, kitchen and dining room feature an exposed stone wall and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, the whole area benefiting from underfloor heating. Natural light will pour into the lounge and kitchen all year round thanks to a large picture window and patio doors showing off pleasant views of the surrounding countryside, with most of the lounge furniture arranged around a wood burner. The cottage has four bedrooms: a king-size room, a double and a twin (all en-suite) along with a bunk room with facilities for home working. The cottage also has a large family bathroom.

Stepping outside, at the back of the house is a completely enclosed, sheltered and private courtyard garden with barbecue and rattan outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. Ideal for dogs and to store bikes securely after a day adventuring. To the front is a large lawned front garden with views to the coast surrounded by post and rail fencing including wooden picnic table, perfect for a relaxing evening watching the sunset.

Great location, views are superb. Cottage has good layout, space and everything you need. However decor is in need of attention and overall general cleaniness did not meet expectations.

The Barns is a stunning accommodation set in a beautiful, rural location with amazing views. Extremely well equipped with everything you need, a true home from home! The beds are clean and comfortable, the rooms are spacious with lovely decor and ambient lighting for cosy nights in. We stayed with elderly parents so the level flooring of this prRead moreoperty is ideal for those with walking difficulties. We visited Lindesfarne, Seahouses and Beadnell which are all a short drive away and enjoyed a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Craster Arms at Beadnell. Whilst we understand the vacation time at the property is 10am this is a little bit early for us having elderly and disabled parents with us however, this would not prevent us from staying at the property again. Thank you to the owners of this wonderful holiday home! Hide

The Barns is in a fabulous location - you cant see the wind farm from the property. Handy for all of the beautiful coastal venues. Beautiful property. Very clean and very comfortable. Kitchen and lounge areas spacious. We took extra dishwasher tabs, washing up cloth, kitchen roll and clingfilm - all required. Lovely to have tea and coffee provided.Read more We really enjoyed our stay - great for all the family- including a four year old and a dog! Directions and entrance instructions were spot on. Would highly recommend. Hide

Lovely cottage, it housed 7 adults and a baby very comfortably. Well positioned to visit the Northumberland coast, and conveniently placed not far from the A1 for good access. Quiet location with several walks from the door.

We loved this house! It was spacious and quiet, with a fabulous view over towards the sea. We were 3 generations or our family and it suited us all. It's so well placed for visiting places - the coast, Bambrugh, Lindisfarne, Alnwick, Cragside.... the list goes on.
