“Eastfield enjoys a spectacular location overlooking, and with easy access to, the beach.”
There are gorgeous, and ever-changing views towards Dunstanburgh Castle from the living and kitchen areas, as well as the large double bedroom. The house is extremely well-equipped, and mostly, when you need something practical (eg a light bulb, a sewing kit, a measuring tape, a pair of scissors or screwdriver..) you will find it in the labelled boxes. There is also a selection of books and board games. The kitchen has just about everything you could need - though we would have liked a tea cosy and maybe a slightly smaller cafetiere! It is nice to be provided with more crockery, cutlery and glassware than strictly necessary for the number of people - don't have to wash up quite as often! It is a perfect house for anyone with mobility problems, as an annexe, equipped with adjustable bed and hoist as well as a large walk-in wet room - with wheelchair suitable for taking in the shower, is accessed via a ramp from the garden. In the living room, the window table is perfect for jigsaws - also provided. Underfloor heating and good insulation makes for a very comfortable temperature throughout the house. We were there during the extremely cold and blustery winds, as well as snow flurries caused by Storm Ciara, but indoors we kept cosy all the time. There is a good supply of hot water for baths and showers. The warm utility room is great for drying clothes and shoes quickly too. This is an ideal house for a gathering of family and/or friends of different ages and mobility. (If you need to take a vehicle right down to the beach for an elderly person, there is a disabled space at the bottom of the road. We also didn't have a problem driving her right to the door of the Ship for a pub lunch!
