The weather was cold but bright and lovely for coastal walks from the doorstep in both directions. For a longer walk we caught the bus from the top of the street towards Craster and walked back. A real highlight of the cottage was the upstairs room with fabulous views across to the Farne Islands on one side and the sheltered balcony which caught the morning sun on the other.
