Sleeps 5 + 2 dogs
Home to one of our top beaches in Northumberland, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea is made for family holidays by the coast, and this seafront cottage is the perfect base. From here you can step straight onto the the promenade, follow the art trail to the town’s famous Couple Statue and go rock-pooling along the shoreline.

West Gate, Embleton
Sleeps 4 + 2 dogs
Make yourself at home in a gorgeous, ground-floor barn conversion in Embleton, boasting panoramic views of the Northumberland coastline. While it’s tempting to hunker beside the log burner, whip up a culinary spread in your country-style kitchen, and stare out at the sublime views from your private hot tub, don’t forget to break out of your retreat and explore the natural wonders on the doorstep: Embleton Bay, Dunstanburgh Castle and the water’s edge village of Low Newton, where the cosy Ship Inn welcomes sandy toes and sandy paws.

Sleeps 8 + 2 dogs

With floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors to fling open, you can enjoy the coastal hues and sea breeze from inside and out – whether it’s the weather for a BBQ on the wraparound decking or a warming stew beside the hearth.

Sleeps 6 + 1 dog
Deserve a dose of indulgence on your seaside break in Northumberland? Escape to this luxury apartment with a hot tub on the sea-view balcony.

Pipistrelle, Budle Bay
Sleeps 6 + 1 dog
Wake up with a dip on the beautiful Budle Bay, then come back to a hot tub and sauna in your sea-view beach cottage. You might prefer to simply sip coffee on the balcony of your retreat, or sink into your hot tub without the prelude of a bracing sea swim. Either way, this high-spec holiday cottage is the perfect base to immerse yourself in the wonders of the Northumberland Heritage Coast – from the tide-ribbed sands of Budle Bay to nearby Bamburgh Castle and the bustling harbour at Seahouses.

Sleeps 9 + 2 dogs
Oozing with style, this contemporary beachside property is made for large families and groups to dive into the delights of Northumberland. Just footsteps from the beach on the outskirts of Seahouses, you can pad along the sandy shoreline, hop on a boat trip to the Farne Islands to see grey seals and puffins, and set out on foot to the impressive Bamburgh Castle, which are among the top things to do on a coastal holiday in Northumberland. Wherever your adventures take you, come home to five-star comforts, including a woodburner, plush coastal-style furnishings and a hot tub on the decking.

Driftwood, Amble
Sleeps 8 + 2 dogs
If it wasn’t for the endless horizon and the seven sandy miles of Druridge Bay beckoning you outside, you might never leave the comfort of this contemporary holiday cottage in Amble. Kickback in the open-plan lounge, where the headland and North Sea views will distract you from anything on your Smart Frame TV. In clement weather, fling open the bi-folding doors to the balcony. But when storms scud in, hideout in the snug with board games and computer games, or feel the elements from your private hot tub.
