The picture postcard village of Bamburgh, dominated by its majestic castle, is only 2 miles north, where there is a wide expanse of golden, and often empty sandy beaches. The tidal island of Lindisfarne, locally known as Holy Island, can be seen from the beach and is accessible via a causeway twice daily. A further 2 miles up the coastline brings you to Waren Mill, which is steeped in history. Once an important port, its harbour has long since disappeared, silted up beneath the sands of the estuary. Budle Bay is a bird sanctuary and at low tide a vast expanse of mud flats is home to thousands of sea and land birds, making this location a haven for bird watchers. The historic market town of Alnwick, with its own castle, offers many facilities, just a short drive inland. Alnwick Garden is a popular visitor attraction with its grand cascade waterfall and a restaurant within the largest treehouse in Europe! Beach 800 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Amazing house, very spacious for adults and dogs. Large enclosed garden for dogs. Plenty of reception rooms for the family to spread out. Welcome pack for both us and the dog. Large rooms. Great facilities on the lower floor so you didn't have to venture upstairs, though the lounge upstairs had great views. We hope to go again.
