Escape the hustle and bustle of the city with a stay at this gorgeous home in the heart of Northumberland. Boasting an enamel log burner, peaceful back garden and large kitchen – ideal for rustling up hearty, family meals – this is the perfect place to mellow out with your favourite people, offering all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay on one of Britain’s most beautiful coasts. If you’re anything like us, you’ll love the nautical feel of the interior here, particularly the soft whites and blues that permeate the snug bedrooms. Treat yourself to a long lie-in in your cosy double bed or head out to the garden to dine alfresco on a breakfast of fresh pastries from the local supermarket. When it’s time to explore, you’ll find a whole host of open-air attractions at your fingertips – think lush golf courses and gorgeous beaches – but we wouldn’t blame you if all you wanted to do was unwind at home, a drink in one hand and a good book in the other. After all, isn’t that what relaxing retreats are all about?
