Two miles east of the cottage is the beautiful Heritage Coast with Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh, Warkworth and Alnwick castles all nearby.

Eight miles north of Northumberland's picturesque market town of Alnwick, lies the charming village of Christon Bank. Not only are Alnwick’s beautiful castle and gardens close at hand, but visitors to the area are also only a mere two miles from the lovely bays at Embleton and Low Newton-by-the-Sea. These wonderful bays lay on a strip of unspoiled sandy beaches and are only a brief drive from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, and the other nature-rich Farne Islands. Set in the rolling hills, this lovely little village has a traditional, real ale pub, which also serves food, but for more variety of cuisine, the neighbouring villages also host a number of excellent restaurants. The Scottish Borders are within easy reach, as is the lively cosmopolitan city of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Perhaps some paintwork looked a bit tired but didnt detract from our stay.

Downstairs bedroom ideal for grandparents and plenty of seating and space for different ages to do their own thing!! Everything was spotless and well equipped. Touches like the welcome hamper and toiletries in bathrooms were very much appreciated. We would visit again!!

There was plenty of room for everyone and the village is in a central location for exploring Northumberland. The weather was an added bonus and we really appreciated the welcome basket. Thank you.
