    Garden

    Roses, honeysuckle and lavender adorn the cottage and garden throughout the summer months.

     The large rear garden is fully enclosed and the large lawned areas provide plenty of safe space for children to play. In the summer when the many trees are in leaf the garden is extremely private so is perfect for alfresco dining or an evening barbeque.

     Adult and children’s bikes are stored in the shed.

     If you are feeling energetic head down the farm lane at the side of the cottage to the beautiful coastal path, take in the sea air or enjoy a walk along the beautiful sandy bay.

    “Beautiful cottage, great location, stunning beaches.”

    “Left on Jan 5, 2018 for a stay in Dec 2017
    We had a great New Year getaway in this fabulous cottage. The location is great for exploring the local Northumbria coastline and the walk down to the nearby beach was a joy. The Cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and was faultless. The owners Harvey and Carole were lovely. They met us when we arrived , gave us a super welcome pack and even provided some toys for out littlies. We had a great time during our stay and all agreed we had fallen a little bit in love with the area and will definitely return. Highly recommended.”

    At the bottom of the lane that runs to the side of the cottage is the aptly named Sugar Sands. This beautiful sandy beach is perfect for children, soft white sand and rock pools at one end, so bring your fishing nets!
    It is a pleasant twenty minute walk to reach the beach or take the car and be there in a couple of minutes. Plenty of free parking on the links and you can stay all day if you wish.
     Within the village there is a handy convenience store for all your necessities, which also has a DVD rental corner, great for keeping the kids entertained on a rainy afternoon. There is also a post office and a pretty Saxon church, well worth a look.

    We have enjoyed staying in this very special cottage - thank you so much for all the thoughtful touches and your kindness. Today we have been on Sugar Sands in brilliant sunshine - beautiful. We would love to come back soon. Heather, Hannah, Joseph & Martin. Chesterfield
    A wonderful and stylish cottage. All the extra touches were very welcome especially the toys for the children and the champagne which we enjoyed on New Years Eve. We have stayed at many cottages and this is one of the best. Look forward to another stay here soon Dawn, Neil, Finlay, Paula, Jamie & Ellie. York & Leeds
    My family and I had the pleasure of staying in Coast Cottage for a long weekend during early November 2011. The cottage is beautifully furnished throughout and very definitely feels like a luxury home from home.Its location in Longhoughton is perfect for exploring the Northumbrian Coast. In just two days, we managed to visit, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, Beadnell, The Farne Islands and on the way home, Beamish. It couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks also to Harvey and Carole who looked after us fantastically. The booking arrangements were a doddle and to our great delight, the house was stocked with all sorts of goodies including condiments in the cupboards, games for the children, walking guides and even bikes. We will definitely be visiting again. Thanks again. The Bond family (2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 seven year olds) Bob Bond
