“Absolutely fantastic cottage right by the sea and pub the house was huge and decorated lovely nice garden for the summer months They left a lovely filled welcome basket and towels which we were very grateful for as we forgot ours.”

There where lots of little extras around the house which helped with our stay. If I had to nic pick at anything it would be a radio in kitchen and a rug in living room as floor was very cold , would definitely like to return Thanks

“Winding wheel cottage was all and more than shown, the photos don't do the place justice.”

A beautiful well appointed cottage. We couldn't find any scisors in the kitchen, but that's just us being picky. The rooms are fantastic and the whole stay was when we went out we were glad to be back. Fabulous stay welcome packs, yes packs, all over if we can book it again we will be back. We were sorry to come home and leave sutch a nice cottage.

“This was a wonderful cottage.”

It was so clean and warm. The showers were amazing and the furnishings were so comfortable. It had almost everything we needed. The kitchen is missing tongs, a whisk, and scissors and ideally the knives need sharpening. Having the beach nearby was brilliant and even our arthritic Labrador reverted to puppyness - which was just a joy to see. Thank you so much x

“Excellent stay.”

Everything you could possibly want is here. Short walk to the beach. Sunday lunch in Charlton’s next door, completely beaten by portion size. We were very comfortable at all times. Just to the left of the cottage is a hard surface part of the Coastal path which was perfect for walking dogs when tide was in. Eat at Turknaz in Whitley Bay. Excellent food and superb service. Loads to do in area. Visited Beamish, Alnwick Castle, Woodhorn Museum and Morpeth. All very Guide Dog puppy friendly he experienced lots of new things. Excellent holiday, highly recommended. House very warm and welcoming during some very inclement weather.

“We had a lovely few days at the cottage.”

It was very spacious and furnished to a high standard with everything you could need. We enjoyed the proximity to a fabulous beach for the dogs and also the Northumberland coastal path is nearby with lots of other pathways nearby for walking, running or cycling. It was a part of Northumberland we hadn't explored before but we would definitely return to the area and the house.

“This property is exactly as described and was a great place to stay, the welcome hamper was a lovely touch, and Chris the owner couldn't have been more helpful.”

It was clean and comfortable throughout. Great location -the beach is directly across the road and the pub virtually next door served lovely food. An excellent base to explore the nearby coast, Alnwick, and further afield. Would definitely recommend and would like to return.

“Beautiful house.”

Extremely comfortable and welcoming. Good place to start from to explore Northumberland. Love the fact that the beach was across the road. A clean sandy beach that goes in forever, the dogs were in there element. There was a very well stocked welcoming basket with alsorts if everything in it. A nice touch was when the owner made a quick visit to make sure we were ok and that we had found out how to work everything. A pub right next door, what more could you want.

“Really lovely cottage.”

It had everything we wanted, the beach on the doorstep, a pub next door and the accommodation was above anything we have stayed at before on Sykes. Every time we opened the door it felt warm and welcoming, if I could have picked it up and brought it home I would have. Chris was very welcoming and I would recommend getting your firewood from him.

“We had an amazing weekend at winding wheel, it is beautifully furnished and had an overall cozy feel.”

With 2 dogs, it is ideally located 2 minutes from the beach. The welcome pack was extremely generous and we loved the log burner. We will definitely back.

The property

Ashington 4.5 miles.

Winding Wheel Cottage is a delightful, four-bedroom home nestled in the charming, coastal village of Cambois near Ashington, perfectly placed for exploring the best of Northumberland.

Offering a large and inviting holiday home, just a stone’s throw from the beach and with sea views to die for, Winding Wheel Cottage makes a wonderful base for all of the family, possible to accommodate up to seven guests.

Benefit from ample parking on the driveway and to the roadside, before heading indoors, firstly reaching the stylish sitting room, with plenty of plush seating to sink into in front of the woodburning stove.

If the sun is shining, spend time together in the conservatory, with views out to the enclosed decked area, a haven for alfresco mealtimes and entertaining.

The kitchen/diner features a sleek design, with integrated, state-of-the-art appliances and a lovely dining table to fit all, perfect for gathering around for dinner parties or formal mealtimes, whilst a handy utility/garage rests next door, with further appliances and space to store bikes and watersport equipment.

Take advantage of telescope on offer if you fancy seeing the Northern Lights/stargazing or want to watch the dolphins pass by the Bay, or head to the garden room to indulge in some light reading and a glass of prosecco; the choice is yours, as the cottage is right on the sea front and viewable from the front of the house.

When it’s time to rest your head, retire to one of the four bedrooms, including a king-size with an indulgent en-suite, two double bedrooms, and a single, all serviced by a contemporary bathroom and convenient cloakroom.

Winding Wheel Cottage is right on the doorstep of the stunning northeast coastline, where you will find an abundance of beautiful beaches or some of England's finest heritage sites such as Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle, where Harry Potter was filmed, Alnwick Gardens, Warkworth Castle, Lindisfarne Priory, Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens, and Hadrian's Wall just to name a few.

You can also take a boat trip from the seaside village of Seahouses, to the Farne Islands, where you will see an abundance of different birds including puffins.

If its shopping you’re after, why not visit one of Europe's largest shopping centres, the Metro Centre in Gateshead which offers all kinds of shopping and entertainment.

If you don’t want to venture to far away, you can take a leisurely walk on the unspoilt beautiful beach at Cambois, it is a hidden gem in the Northumberland Coastline, then head next door to the Charlton's Sports Bar which is run by the late Jack Charlton's son John.

Jack was a famous footballer from the local town of Ashington who played for England when they won the World Cup in 1966; the pub is full of memorabilia of Jack's time winning the World Cup and when he was Manager of Ireland.

They offer great, homemade food as well at a very reasonable price.

The nearby town of Ashington is home to some very famous sportsman such as footballers Jack Charlton, Bobby Charlton, and Jackie Milburn; also, England cricketers Steve Harmison and Mark Wood who often frequent Ashington Cricket Club on match day.

Whether you're looking for a relaxing break, or a chance to explore the beauty and culture of Northumberland, Winding Wheel Cottage is an idyllic base.
