    “Pretty location, loved that the beach was just across the road.”

    Massive parking space for the property although it would have been better to have a fence and gate to split it in half so that we could sit outside and watch my young boy play. If I had a dog it would mean extra security too (kids too) as the traffic on the road don’t always realise to slow down (crazy people). Had a brilliant week, didn’t want to leave.

    Massive parking space for the property although it would have been better to have a fence and gate to split it in half so that we could sit outside and watch my young boy play. If I had a dog it would mean extra security too (kids too) as the traffic on the road don’t always realise to slow down (crazy people). Had a brilliant week, didn’t want to leave. Honestly though the beds were very uncomfortable, several sore points every night and I kept bumping my leg on the drawers that I couldn’t push in. Seating so very low down and my mother found it very difficult to get back up. Shower not powerful enough and could not regulate temperature to liking. I love dogs, adore them but living area was covered in dog hairs and for the entire week it did smell like a wet dog. Many places to visit on that coast. Having given my honest review I would love to go back.

    Thank you for your feedback , I wish you had contacted me regarding your concerns about dog hair / dog smell and I would have attended and inspected property immediately . The cottage is advertised with no outdoor space and the driveway / blocked area is a new improvement and I will be considering gating In the future . The sofa is highlighted as being low and will certainly be a higher one when it is replaced . I’m pleased you enjoyed the location and beautiful Northumberland in general . Property Owner

The property

This delightful, semi-detached cottage sits in a splendid location overlooking Low Hauxley beach, 1.5 miles south of the busy fishing port of Amble.

Set just yards from the beach, with wonderful views across the sea from the first floor, this is the ideal setting for couples and families seeking a relaxing seaside getaway.

On the ground floor of this wonderful cottage is a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious sitting room with a dining area, exposed stone walls and a cosy woodburning stove for those chillier evenings by the sea.

Make your way upstairs and you will find two welcoming bedrooms, along with a bathroom where you can enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of a long day touring the vast, beautiful county of Northumberland.

The cottage is situated on the National Coast and Castles cycle route, so why not spend a day touring the superb castles of this historic area?

On sunnier days, simply open the door and within a minute you will be on a beautiful Northumberland beach, so take the windbreak, dogs, children and a picnic and your day is sorted!

To the north, the busy fishing village of Amble is easily accessible, with an array of pubs, restaurants and takeaways all serving good food and beverages.

This beachside cottage is perfectly positioned for anyone wishing to visit the Heritage Coast and the surrounding area.

Visit historic Warkworth Castle, just two miles away, take a leisurely drive to the coastal villages of Craster and Alnmouth, or explore popular Alnwick with its imposing castle.

An excellent cottage for a seaside break.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £0.

About the location

LOW HAUXLEY

Amble 1.5 miles; Alnwick 11 miles.

The hamlet of Low Hauxley is situated at the northern end of Druridge Bay, a four-mile stretch of sand dunes and white sands. Less than two miles away is the seaside port of Amble, which is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks. Just a mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks, and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.

Note : The sofas are regular Marks & Spencer sofas but would like to advise they are low sitting.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Last minute
  • Christmas
