The Nook is a luxury stone barn conversion on a working farm near Chathill in rural Northumberland. Part of a small complex of cottages, this single-level property sleeps five guests and has been stylishly decorated throughout with a contemporary feel. It sits in a quiet spot just off the A1 yet feels completely removed from the road.

The Northumberland coast is right on your doorstep. Seahouses is just half a mile away with boat trips to the Farne Islands. Bamburgh's sandy beaches are 8.5 miles out and Alnwick Castle is 10 miles away. Walking routes through the coastline and countryside start practically from the door.

Inside you get two bedrooms sleeping five. The family room has a super-king bed plus a single with its own Smart TV. The second bedroom has a double bed. There's one shower room with a walk-in shower. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area features a wood burner and a well-equipped kitchen with electric range oven, dishwasher and washer-dryer.

Outside is a paved courtyard terrace with far-reaching countryside and coastal views. Two private parking spaces are included. Up to two dogs are welcome though the courtyard is not fully enclosed.

The Nook suits couples, families and dog owners who want easy coastal access with a comfortable base. Guests consistently rate it five stars.
