Oat Grass Lodge
It will be an instant draw for those looking for a lovely escape in the very heart of this pristine stretch of Northumbrian coastline.
With its clean Scandinavian lines and sunny south-facing aspect, it is a striking contrast to its dramatic setting on the site of a former whinstone quarry, just two miles from the heavenly sands of Bamburgh.
The open-plan living space features a scheme of cool greys and calming blues along with vast contemporary feature windows, divided by a central fireplace with wood burner and a Smart TV.
The kitchen is a modern Shaker design, complemented by lime-washed accents evocative of coastal driftwood, while large bi-folding doors allow the outside in, leading onto a sunny south-facing deck with charcoal barbecue and outdoor furniture, as well as some fun outdoor games for children.
The three double bedrooms (one en-suite) have a very on-trend vibe, including a whimsical Flamingo design, and a calming Koi in azure blue.
A short walk through the woodland will take you up to the quarry top with a viewing platform which offers incredible views towards Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands beyond, while the never ending sands along this stretch of coastline will keep families, dogs and outdoor adventurers happy and entertained.

Location
Guarded by the iconic Bamburgh Castle which rises from its volcanic promontory with an almost mythic authority, this charming village combines the best of Northumbrian hospitality with a stretch of coastline with AONB status. Miles of stunning white sands stretch beneath the castle, from which you can take in views of the wildlife-rich Farne Islands and the fascinating Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Perfect for long dog walks, games, or quiet reflection, it's no wonder this is one of the most beloved beaches in the country.
You can enjoy fantastic fresh seafood at several restaurants in the village, perhaps during a relaxed brunch or with a takeaway from the Walled Garden Café, while the numerous tearooms and ice-cream shops are perfect for afternoon treats. There are also several great pubs for cosying up by the fire with a drink in the evening.
The whole area is bursting with things to do, dotted by a trail of castles and fortifications interspersed with pretty seaside villages all the way up and down the coast. For day trips, why not cross the causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to trace the legend of St Cuthbert, explore The Alnwick Garden, or take a boat trip from Seahouses to spot puffins and seals in the outstanding Farne Islands nature reserve and seabird sanctuary.
