2 Bedroom Cottage in Alnwick

The pretty village of Newton-by-the-Sea has a glorious sandy beach, ideal for surfing and windsurfing. Take the coastal path past the ancient ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle with breath-taking views across Embleton Bay or, enjoy the scenic coastal walk to Craster. This is an excellent area for nature-lovers and birdwatchers, with Newton Pool Nature Reserve nearby. Take a boat trip from Seahouses to see the birds on the Farne Islands. Golfers can try their hand at the exceptional 18-hole Dunstanburgh Castle Golf course, or you can all picnic at Embleton Bay. Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle and Gardens are an easy drive from here or head a little further to cross the causeway to Holy Island for a memorable day out.
