This 3-bedroom cottage is a stone-built terrace in Swinhoe, a tiny hamlet on the Northumberland Coast. Decorated in a contemporary Scandi style with wooden beams and a wood burner at its heart, this is a stylish and well-equipped family cottage that sleeps six. Patio doors open onto a decked area and an enclosed private garden.

You're 1.5 miles from Beadnell Bay, a golden mile-wide beach where you can surf, kayak, sail and windsurf. Seahouses harbour is the same distance, with fresh fish restaurants and boat trips to the Farne Islands for seal and seabird spotting. The whole coastline sits within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Three bedrooms sleep six: one king-size, one double and one twin with a galley-style single bed ideal for younger guests. There are two bathrooms, a large upstairs bathroom with bath and a ground-floor shower room. The kitchen-diner seats six and has a dishwasher and coffee machine.

Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden are 12 miles away. The Farne Islands, Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle are all within easy reach of Swinhoe.

This rental suits families and groups who want a well-located base on the Northumberland coast. One dog is welcome. Book through this cottage for a proper coastal Northumberland stay.
