Alnside Cottage is a semi-detached cottage in the rural village of Lesbury, Northumberland. It sleeps four across one king-size bedroom and one twin, both decorated in contemporary grey. The sitting room has a woodburning stove that guests describe as warm and welcoming after a long journey. A spacious kitchen diner suits family meals or games nights and there's a utility room too.

Lesbury sits close to the coast and gives easy access to the coastal route. Alnmouth, a former port for Alnwick, now offers an unspoilt seaside town with sandy beaches, an estuary and a golf course. Walkers can head straight from the cottage towards the beach and there's fishing in nearby rivers. Several guests call this a good base for exploring the wider Northumberland region.

The cottage has a shower room with walk-in shower plus a separate cloakroom with basin and WC, handy for a family of four. Outside there are enclosed front and rear gardens with a gravelled patio that catches sun all day, plus garden furniture for outdoor meals. Off-road parking fits two cars.

Alnmouth beach is just 1.2 miles away, an easy walk or short drive for sand and sea air. Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden, including the Poison Garden, sit 4 miles off (under 10 minutes by car) and are popular with Harry Potter fans. Alnwick town also has independent shops, tea rooms and supermarkets. A local shop and Post Office are just 0.3 miles from the door and a pub is 1.7 miles up the road.

Families and couples wanting a quiet base near the coast will do well here. Alnside Cottage puts castles, beaches and country walks within easy reach, with a cosy stove to come home to each evening. Book today for a fantastic break on the Northumberland coast.
