Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden are a few miles away by car. Bamburgh Castle and Dunstanburgh Castle both sit along the coast for a day of castle-spotting. Boat trips from nearby harbours head out to the Farne Islands and Coquet Island to see seabirds and seals. For something different, walk or cycle a mile along a quiet country lane to Greenrig halt on the Aln Valley Railway.

Couples wanting a quiet coastal-countryside base will do well here. The Summerhouse pairs valley views with an easy stroll to Alnmouth's beach and shops, plus castles and islands close by for day trips. Check your dates for a peaceful break in Northumberland today.

Is The Summerhouse Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This cottage suits couples rather than families. With one double bed and no separate children's sleeping space, it isn't set up for kids. Alnmouth beach and Alnwick Castle are close by, but the layout works best for two adults sharing a quiet countryside break.
For Couples
This snug single-level cottage is built for two. The open-plan lounge has a wood burner and views over the River Aln Valley, while the private south-facing patio suits evening drinks. Walk to Alnmouth in under half an hour for dinner, or visit Alnwick Castle and Garden nearby. A peaceful hamlet setting adds to the quiet, unhurried mood.
Pet Friendly
Two dogs can stay at The Summerhouse, making it a solid choice for a break with your pet. The countryside setting around Bilton offers plenty of walking routes and Alnmouth beach is within easy reach for longer walks along the sand.
