Lilian July 2024

“The location of the cottage is wonderful, so close to the sea and the coastal paths.”

Great for walking and bird watching. A lovely pub just around the corner, what more do you want? The cottage itself was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

“Another amazing stay at beautiful, clean, comfy cottage with everything we needed.”

Views from cottage fantastic and lovely garden to sit & watch birds. Really enjoyed walks from doorstep, finished off with visit to friendly local pub. Local bird hide a bonus. Embleton bay magnificent especially watching dolphins.

Lynne June 2024

“Lovely cottage.”

Bathroom just a little bit too small. Just a small suggestion to help future guests leaving the wi fi log in in the information pack provided we had to get on our hands and knees to find it.

- Lynne, June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for my property. The WiFi password is placed on the notice board in the property for all guests to see clearly on arrival. It is mentioned on all websites that the bathroom is smaller than an original bathroom. I am sorry it was not what you expected. Thank you again for your feedback. Property Owner

“The cottage was as described and a pleasure to stay in.”

On bad weather days (there were some!) we were happy to be inside where it was warm and of course with a lovely view to the front. The garden gave us extra space and we were away from the road so had plenty of quiet and bird life to watch. We much appreciated the no dogs rule and were very happy with the cleanliness of the cottage. We've stayed in Low Newton several times in various cottages, this has been the best so far.

- Joanna, May 2024
John April 2024

“We enjoyed our stay.”

We loved the location and the views , and found the cottage to be comfortable and very clean, and with all the facilities we required. It was good to have a car parking space on the premises.

- John, April 2024
Jo April 2024

“As beautiful as I remember from 38 years ago.”

This time with copious hot water and heating though! A perfect coastal retreat for those loving expansive views and doorstep walking. The kids loved the CD collection for rainy days.

- Jo, April 2024
Adrian March 2024

“We love the location and the cottage had everything that we needed.”

Everything was very clean and we felt completely at home. The owner provided excellent information and was easy to deal with. All very good.

“Lovely cosy and warm cottage, great view from front windows and had everything we needed for our weeks stay.”

Just one thing for future holiday makers to be aware of, this was our first stay in the cottage and we were asked how many people would be staying and which bed(s) we would be using and as there were only 2 of us we said we would be sleeping in the double bed. However when we actually saw the bedrooms we realised that the double bed is in the very small back bedroom overlooking the parking spaces, whereas the single beds are in the much more spacious front bedroom with the views of the sea and amazing sunrises. There was no linen for the single beds so after 2 nights we asked for more bedding which the owner kindly arranged. I understand the importance of reducing towel and linen use however had all the beds been made up we would have used only 2 singles. I do think that if the full price is paid for a cottage (i.e. no 2 person discount) that all beds should be available so a choice can be made. Until you have seen a cottage for the first time you cannot decide where you want to sleep. other than that we loved the cottage, and hope to return but in future will stay in the single beds in the better bedroom.

- Patrick, September 2023
Russell July 2023

“The property location was exceptional with easy access to the Northumberland coast path.”

The property itself is cosy and well looked after. However there are a few items that would have made the stay better. A washing machine, storage in the main bedroom and secure outside storage for sports and outdoor equipment. That said a good property to enjoy Northumberland from.

- Russell, July 2023
Peter May 2023

“Fabulous stay at a really great cottage and location.”

We will definitely be booking again

- Peter, May 2023

- Gail, December 2022
Dorothy October 2022

“Really clean and cosy cottage in a lovely little village close to the beach.”

The property was ideal for us and would love to return. Superb local walks both along the beaches and inland. The Ship Inn (a 2 minute walk away) was very friendly with great food - booking essential in evenings.

- Dorothy, October 2022
Lorna September 2022

“We had a wonderful week in a lovely cottage in a truly stunning place.”

At first I was a little unhappy to pay a housekeeping bond before we arrived but I could see why when i got there. Great care had been taken with the place lovely crisp cotton sheets, the fluffiest bathmat and it all looked like it has just been painted yesterday. Wonderfully clean too. We will be back again hopefully. Highly recommend

- Lorna, September 2022

Clean, nicely turned out and has everything you need for a vacation. Nothing not to like about it.

- Dave, May 2022
Peter April 2022

“Great property idyllic location.”

We have already booked again for 2023. I just cannot find anything not to love about the cottage and the location. Views of the bay with Dunstanburgh castle in the distance from the top window. Parking behind the cottage where parking is at a premium. 100yds walk to the beach. Fantastic coastal path walks on the door step. On top of this 50yds to the fisherman's cottages with the ship inn nestled in the middle. The Ship brews its own beer, has great food, friendly staff and is a proper pub (recommend you book a table if you want to eat indoors especially in season). The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need including a large back garden.

- Peter, April 2022
Chris October 2021

- Chris, October 2021

Mary August 2020

“It was a great location.”

..close to the beach and for walks. Also, easy driving to local beauty spots. Very peaceful and relaxing environment and cottage was lovely and met all of our requirements.

- Mary, August 2020
Marianne August 2020

“The photos didn't do the location justice.”

The constantly changing view of the sea, sky and Dunstanburgh Castle from the cottage was wonderful as was the incredible breadth of wildlife thanks to the nearby nature reserve. And yes, you can hear the sea from the cottage. We were also really impressed by the cleanliness of the beach and the quietness of the area. A wonderful holiday for anyone who wants to be somewhere quiet away from the crowds.

- Marianne, August 2020
Moyra January 2020

“Lovely, cosy cottage.”

- Moyra, January 2020
Vivienne October 2019

“The cottage is cosy and very convenient for Lindisfarne Alnwick and Bamburgh which are great places to visit.”

There is a lovely sea view from the front of the cottage and some great walks round the nature reserve and the beach. Good pub in the village which brews its own beer. We had a great holiday. The owner kept us really well informed right from booking to departing.

- Vivienne, October 2019
John June 2019

“Superbly situated,views across the bay to Dunstanburgh Castle.”

Cottage as described. Kitchen in dire need of a pair of scissors which actually cut, and a small saucepan. MIssed our dishwasher, freezer, washing-machine and dryer. Odd three single beds in front bedroom. Chest of drawers in back bedroom inaccessible as too close to the bottom of the bed, so no storage in that cramped room. Bathroom also cramped. Steep open-treaded stairs difficult for those with limited mobility, and unsuitable for young children. We had an enjoyable week's stay, but will not be returning due to the comments above.

- John, June 2019

Many thanks for your feedback. We understand that you missed some of your white goods during your stay, however we do not advertise these items at this property. The photos on the website do show clearly the open tread staircase and the configuration of the bedrooms and bathroom. We will check the scissors and saucepans on our next visit and we thank you again for your feedback. Property Owner
Alison May 2019

“The cottage is in a perfect location with wonderful views.”

Excellent for walking straight out to sandy beaches, rocky headlands, dunes and a local bird hide. Two nearby pubs with great food and lots of places to visit within a short drive or bus ride. The cottage itself is cosy and well equipped, spotlessly clean and ideal for a couple or small family. Bigger groups can rent next door too. Hope to return and will definitely recommend.

The property

This is a delightful cottage, superbly located in the much sought-after village of Low Newton-by-the-Sea, near Beadnell.

A former coastguard's cottage and within walking distance of the beach, this Low Newton-by-the-Sea cottage is a great spot for that family seaside break.

With a lovely wooden floor, open plan living area, comfortable furniture and spectacular views of the long golden beach leading to Embleton, this really is a gem of a cottage.

The large, front lawned garden with furniture, which is shared with 3B Coastguard Cottages next door, is a super place for children to play or for you to have a relaxing tipple whilst soaking up the spectacular Heritage Coastline.

This Low Newton-by-the-Sea cottage is only a short walk from The Ship Inn, an award-winning pub, where the green to the front of the pub is always busy with people enjoying a drink whilst watching the fishing boats in the bay.

A short walk from the property will take you to the National Trust nature reserve Newton Pool, a fresh water lake behind the dunes and a breeding ground to numerous birds.

Bird hides are provided, including one hide being suitable for those with limited mobility.

There are excellent walks in every direction; travel north for a good brisk walk along the beach to Beadnell or travel south and you reach Embleton Bay, Dunstanburgh Castle and Craster, where you can sample the delights of a crab sandwich in the Jolly Fisherman or pick up some kippers from Robson's famous smokery.

If you ever want to leave your cottage in Low Newton-by-the-Sea, there is so much to see and do in Northumberland, with Alnwick Castle and gardens, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Warkworth, Beadnell and Berwick all within easy reach.

This really is a superb cottage for that much-needed family break.
