Appletree Cottage
A real home-from-home, Appletree Cottage is set in the charming village of Ellingham which sits just a few miles from Beadnell and Low Newton-by-the-Sea which offer glorious golden sands just made for family fun and watersports.
Originally converted from two cottages, Appletree offers well-proportioned accommodation sleeping seven guests. The entrance porch doubles up as a boot room with plenty of hanging space, bench seating and a stone flagged floor. This leads into an inner hall, flanked either side by the sitting room, utility room and kitchen.
The sitting room has bags of character with original inglenook fireplace and a wood burning stove, while gilded artworks and deep comfortable sofas in soft linen, mixed with wood flooring and sisal offer a classic but relaxed vibe. The country style kitchen is the warming heart of the home with a Redfyre range cooker which is ideal for cosying up around the farmhouse table with tea and cake after a day of outdoor adventures, while a door from the kitchen leads out to an enclosed rear garden which enjoys views over open fields and countryside.
Upstairs the cottage benefits from a large family shower room, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, while the master bedroom with king size bed benefits from an en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. All bedrooms offer views over the countryside beyond meaning peace-perfect-peace when a lazy weekend lie-in sounds like a heavenly plan.
To the front of the cottage is a gravelled driveway with parking for two to three cars, while a short hop around the corner will take you to The Pack House Inn, a dog friendly pub serving local ales and a hearty Sunday roast!

Location
Situated in the beautiful countryside of north Northumberland, the medieval market town of Alnwick lies within easy reach of the coast and is home to world-class visitor attractions.
A stronghold of Northern power in the Middle Ages, the magnificent Alnwick Castle has more recently served as a filming location for Harry Potter. Alongside this lies The Alnwick Garden with its famous cherry blossom trees, collection of poisonous plants and Grand Cascade. The twisting cobbled streets of the town boast an eclectic collection of independent shops including Barter Books, a famous second-hand bookshop with a miniature train running atop its bookcases, plus there’s a market every Saturday and a Farmers' Market on the last Friday of every month.
Set within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the sea is just a short drive away, as are the dramatic castle and beach at Bamburgh, the charming fishing village of Craster, and the mystical Holy Island of Lindisfarne across the causeway. A little further inland, you’ll find endless scenic walks in the Cheviot and Simonside Hills and along Hadrian’s Wall, as well as the pretty village of Glanton and the picturesque Ingram Valley.
