Rose Cottage, close to Alnmouth's famous beaches, has three bedrooms and sleeps six people comfortably (7 on folding bed). The location is an ideal centre for exploring the Northumbria coast and countryside, as well as the Alnwick Garden which is only 3 miles away. It caters for people seeking walking, golfing, fishing, cycling, bird watching, painting and even scuba diving holidays. Only 35 minutes from Newcastle Airport and 5 miles from the A1, Alnmouth is also a regular stop on the East Coast mainline railway giving direct access to Newcastle (half an hour), London (approx. 3.5 hours) and Edinburgh (1 hour). Situated on a elevated ridge Rose Cottage commands stunning views from the front over the Aln estuary to Alnmouth, which is surrounded by pristine white beaches and sand dunes. The nearby lighthouse on Coquet Island can be seen from the first floor. From the rear, the elevated position of the cottage offers a breathtaking rural panorama stretching along the River Aln valley, passed the 18 arch railway viaduct.

Stripped pine has been used extensively to keep the traditional cottage 'feel' but the overall style of the decor is more 'New England' than Old English. Simple painted furniture and 'deck chair' fabrics have been chosen to try to recreate a traditional seaside retreat-light, bright, with no need to worry too much about sandy feet on the carpets! The lounge is dominated by a huge stone inglenook fireplace which is home to a traditional mult High Season Low Season Open All Year, Open at Christmas, Open at New Year Cottage For More InformationVisit Property's Website |
