Shipley House is a stone-built, three-bedroom countryside retreat in Rennington, a quiet village in Northumberland. It sits perfectly between Alnwick and the heritage coast both just 5 miles away. Tastefully furnished with a modern interior, this is a solid base for exploring one of England's finest coastal counties. Note: there is no hot tub at this property.

Rennington is small and peaceful. There's a pub within walking distance across the fields. The Northumberland coastline, golden sandy beaches, ancient castle ruins and wildlife watching are all on your doorstep. Coastal walks and water sports are easy to reach within minutes.

Shipley House sleeps 5 across three bedrooms: one king-size, one double and one single. There's one bathroom with a P-shaped bath and overhead shower plus a separate WC. The kitchen has an induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher and a kitchen island. The south-westerly facing rear garden is fully enclosed with countryside views and garden furniture.

Alnwick Castle (5 miles, 10 mins), Bamburgh Castle (14 miles, 25 mins), Seahouses harbour (12 miles, 20 mins) and Dunstanburgh Castle ruins (8 miles, 18 mins) are all close by.

Families, couples and dog owners will all find Shipley House works well. Two dogs are welcome. The enclosed garden, great location and well-equipped kitchen make this a practical and enjoyable Northumberland base.
