Posted on Friday, January 23rd, 2009
The location of The Bathing House is absolutely stunning. We often get telephone calls from people who have walked along the coastal path towards Dunstanburgh Castle, which passes only metres from The Bathing House. They have thought how wonderful it would be to stay in the house. Because of the popularity of the property the week they want is often already booked. So because we have first hand knowledge of all our cottages we decided it would be a good idea to let people into the secrets of other similarly exciting houses, equally unusual and some with fantastic sea views.
Code 350 Howick – sleeps 2 Although this cottage does not have the view like The Bathing House it is part of the Howick Estate. The walk from the cottage to the coastal footpath takes about 10 minutes. Just like the Bathing House guests are given a free pass to visit the Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum. Then take tea in the Earl Grey Tea Room.
This bungalow is not far from Craster in the village of Boulmer. Lovely sea view from sitting room and double bedroom. It is literally seconds from the front door onto the beach.
Code 359 Low Hauxley sleeps 2
It is possible to get a glimpse of the sea from the landing window but the main attraction of this cottage is the short distance to a huge expanse of golden sand.
The College valley is a private estate with limited vehicular access for the public. It is right in the centre of the Cheviot hills with plenty of birdlife, fox and deer. There are also wild goats on the fells. We have lots of blog postings plus lovely photographs on this blog.

Code 355 sleeps 8
Dunsdale house is a little further into the College Valley than the Mill ( see below). However it offers generous accommodation for a large family or maybe several families together. Dunsdale is often used as a venue for family get togethers. It is hard to find accommodation of this standard, which will take so many guests. Having the beautiful countryside all around just makes it better value!
Code 396 sleeps 4 + 2
There are records of a building on this site dating back to the 13th century. The situation is idyllic, there is no noise and absolutely minimal light pollution at night. The stars are guaranteed to be brighter!The garden is fenced and the large pebbled surrounds along with the bushes make it quite a good house if you have your dog with you.You can see a picture of the Mill taken from the neighbouring hill of Great Hetha…here.
Coldburn Cottage
Code 317 sleeps 4.
