Overview
Set on an organic farm on the 2,500 acre Fallodon Estate, yet also benefiting from a fantastic coastal location close to Beadnell Bay, this is an inviting and uplifting spot to spend happy outdoor days in wide open spaces or simply an excuse to spend cosy moments in woolly socks in front of the warming glow of a real fire.
Natural character and charisma
Sitting on one floor with three double bedrooms, the cottage is deceptively spacious with plenty of space to accommodate the four-legged members of the party too!
The owner’s artistic flair has been used to great effect here, awash with lovely textures and warm hits of colour which add natural character and charisma. The sitting room enjoys double-aspect views overlooking the front and rear gardens while a mighty wood burner will keep you wonderfully toasty even on the chilliest of days.
The kitchen has a five-burner hob and double-oven range cooker with integrated appliances, while the dining area seats six comfortably for hearty breakfasts or relaxed dining.
Each of the three bedrooms benefit from Freeview TVs, including a master bedroom with indulgent 6ft super-king sleigh bed and en-suite facilities, and two further double bedrooms with zip and link options for added flexibility. Each bedroom includes high quality mattresses, sumptuous feather-and-down pillows and duvets and crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen.
The bathrooms have walk-in showers, along with White Company towels and toiletries, not forgetting a traditional bath for those looking for a good soak!
There is a warm, spacious boot room, which is perfect for drying wet and muddy dogs along with plenty of storage for wellies, walking boots, bikes, surf boards and other outdoor kit.
Outdoors, there is a south-facing gravelled courtyard to the front, and an enclosed garden to the side and rear, with the mill stream gently flowing past offering a chance to see the odd playful otter if you're really lucky.

Location
There’s no shortage of places to eat in the area, with everything from cosy pubs to comfy cafes, not forgetting some of the best fish and chips of course!
The hugely popular Ship Inn at Low Newton (3 miles) is renowned for great seafood lunches and its microbrewery, or try the Joiners Arms in nearby Newton By The Sea. Follow the coastal trail to sample delicious crab sandwiches at the highly regarded Jolly Fisherman at Craster (6 miles) or head to the lovely Shoreline Cafe for a steaming cappuccino and home-made cakes - muddy boots and dogs welcome! A must-visit is Robson’s Smokehouse, home of the famous Craster kippers as well as a wonderful selection of smoked delicacies, fresh fish, shellfish, cheeses and other delicious local produce from the Northumberland heartlands.
For evening dining, try the Potted Lobster at Bamburgh which has a fantastic reputation for producing exceptional seasonal dishes using the very best produce the area has to offer, while fans of the traditional British takeaway should head to Pinnacles in Seahouses (7 miles).
A little further afield, you will find a greater range of amenities in nearby Alnwick (9 miles) with an eclectic selection of specialist shops, including a deli, bakery, award-winning butcher’s, charming coffee and gift shops, as well as a number of large supermarkets for holiday provisions.
For a dining experience with a difference, the Treehouse Restaurant at Alnwick Gardens is not to be missed. Set high in the treetops, it is a magical spot to spend an evening, featuring local fish and seafood, meats from Northumberland’s farmlands, as well as other regional specialities all within a lovely ambient setting.
Activities
A leisurely two mile walk will take you onto the beach which extends to Low Newton-by-the-Sea and Embleton Bay, a breathtaking stretch of coastline just perfect for families where you can spend endless hours paddling, sandcastle-building, walking, surfing and body-boarding.
The Northumberland Coastal Path and National Cycle Route 1 also runs right through this area taking in scenic coastal paths for walking and biking and never-ending beaches all the way along to Beadnell Bay, which is also one of the best equipped places in the county for watersports. Backed by huge dunes which offer shelter for a cosy picnic on blustery days, the wide, golden sands of this horseshoe shaped bay make it a popular destination for families with options for kitesurfing, bodyboarding, coasteering and kayaking with a number of accredited schools and instructors across the area.
For golf fans, there are scenic courses at Foxton, Alnmouth, Alnwick and Dunstanburgh, while fishing enthusiasts can cast a line on the lake below the mill and in the Brunton burn that runs down to the sea - by arrangement with the estate office.
For riding, there is a livery yard on the estate that welcomes visitors, and guests are welcome to bring their own horse to ride on the wonderful bridle paths and beaches of the area.
Sitting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nature lovers, birdwatchers and photographers will be captivated by the vast variety of wildlife and birdlife right on the doorstep, or why not take a boat trip from nearby Seahouses where you will be enthralled by the thousands of breeding sea-birds and seals taking up every square foot of this incredible rocky outcrop, including over 37,000 pairs of characterful Puffins. Alternatively Ross Links and Holy Island are both top spots for vast numbers of migrant species, including the chance to see the odd grey seal bobbing inquisitively in the sea, while sightings of minke whales and white-beaked dolphins can also be spotted in calm sea conditions.
History buffs will delight in visits to the grand stately homes and medieval castles of the area - Dunstanburgh, Warkworth, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne stand as reminders of the area’s turbulent past, or head inland to the magnificent Alnwick Castle for a super family day out. Here you will find an activity programme brimming with adventure where children can take part in all sorts of magic and mayhem inspired by the characters of Harry Potter or test their knightly courage in the Dragon Quest.
Finally for garden lovers, a visit to the stunning setting of Alnwick Gardens, Howick Hall and Cragside is an absolute must, with spectacular colours and beautiful walks through the grounds.

"We would like to say that we had a wonderful time at Stable Cottage and the weather was kind to us. The cottage was perfect with lots of thoughtful touches and the location perfect for cycling and walking. We shall definitely be looking at your properties next time we plan a holiday."
Ms Tucker"The cottage was everything that we had hoped for in a holiday home!"
Mrs Johns"We had a wonderful stay at Stable Cottage! The cottage itself was lovely, beautifully furnished, plenty of room with a boot room for our dogs - perfect! The extra touches like dressing gowns and welcome food package were much appreciated. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite so good but having a lovely cottage to come back to more than made up for it! The booking process was seamless and we were provided with lots of information about how to find the cottage, local tourist attractions etc. All in all a wonderful experience on our first visit to the Northumberland coast."
