Miller's Cottage
Tucked in a quiet corner in the picturesque conservation village of Lesbury, this attractive period cottage sits right on the River Aln mid-way between the village Warkworth and the lovely market town of Alnwick.
Presented in a relaxed country style, the sitting room features the original Northumberland sandstone inglenook fireplace, while a colour palette of soft greys and heathery blues add a sophisticated edge. Lighting by Pooky and Jim Lawrence further enhance the space.
Here you can spend days on sweeping sandy beaches before returning to the warmth of the wood burning stove on chillier evenings with supper by the fireside.
The property has a small but well-equipped galley kitchen, while upstairs guests can enjoy a sumptuous double bed with charming window seat, along with en suite bathroom and a large contemporary bath tub for a relaxed soak.
The cosy, country pub The Coach Inn is just a short stroll from the cottage in the centre of Lesbury – a great spot for a relaxing drink or hearty pub meal after a beach walk or country hike (Open Wednesday – Sunday).

Location
Sitting on the banks of the River Aln in the picturesque hamlet of Lesbury, there is a village shop for essential provisions, and a gentle five minute stroll from the property will take guests to The Coach Inn – a great spot for a relaxing drink or hearty pub meal (Open Wednesday – Sunday).
The property is incredibly well placed, sitting just off the main A1 which runs right through the Northumberland coast. The nearby railway station at Alnmouth (0.5 miles) links to the main East Coast rail line, providing easy access from Edinburgh and the North, or from Newcastle and beyond from the South. Pick-ups can be arranged from the train station if required.
Guests will find a more extensive range of amenities in the coastal villages of Alnmouth (1.5 miles) and Warkworth (4.3 miles) which have plenty of restaurants, galleries, pubs, coffee shops and gift shops to choose from, all set amidst stunning surroundings.
Alternatively, a little further inland you will find an excellent range of amenities in nearby Alnwick (4 miles), home to the fantastic Alnwick Castle and Gardens and an eclectic mix of charming specialist shops where you can wander the cobbled streets and gift shops around the marketplace, or stop-off at one of the many quaint cafes across the area for a decadent cake and freshly roasted coffee.
While there, seek out Barter Books, one of Europe’s largest book shops with thousands of paperbacks, hardbacks and collector’s editions based in a beautiful former railway station where you can ‘while-away’ an afternoon in blissful book heaven!
