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).
ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION
For guests looking to holiday together, this property can be booked alongside The Gallery, sleeping 4. The properties are a short distance from each other.

Location
Something of a hidden gem in the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the pretty coastal village of Alnmouth is nestled along the north bank of the River Aln estuary. Dubbed the Tobermory of Northumberland, pastel-coloured cottages line the waterfront while the sweeping golden sands of Alnmouth beach are perfect for walks away from the crowds amidst diverse birdlife.
The village offers a lively selection of pubs, restaurants, independent shops, and galleries and hosts numerous events through the year, including the summer Arts Festival and the Beer Festival in October. Fast trains from Edinburgh and London stop at Alnmouth train station just over a mile outside the village, making it an ideal place for a coastal getaway without a car.
The historic town of Alnwick lies just five miles down the road, where you’ll find several welcoming pubs, a farmer's market, and the popular attractions of Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden. Further popular spots along the Northumbrian coastline are also within easy reach, such as Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands which is seasonally populated by hundreds of seals and puffins.
