The Old Watermill

Northumberland Coast - Chathill, Beadnell

Dog Friendly Property

Just along the coast from beautiful Bamburgh and fabled Lindisfarne, this landmark watermill has been part of Northumbrian history since medieval times - and it has a new lease of life as our latest, loveliest, most luxurious coastal retreat. Built on the lands of the Earls of Northumberland not long after the Domesday Book, for many years supplied grain to the monks of Fame and the nearby fishing village of Beadnell. It continued as a watermill right through to the 20th century. There's a thousand-year story to explore at Tughall Mill, and this is your chance to write your very own chapter.

Mill Farmhouse

Northumberland Coast - Chathill, Beadnell

Dog Friendly Property

If you're looking for a luxurious stay with access to the nearby sea and beach, Mill Farmhouse can easily accommodate eight guests across four bedrooms, and you can even bring a dog to enjoy the spectacular coastal walks on your doorstep.

Tan Llan & The Coach House

Snowdonia National Park - Llanelltyd, Dolgellau

Dog Friendly Property

If you’re looking to get thoroughly lost in thought, then escape to Tan Llan. Lying on the edge of the small village of Llanelltyd, Tan Llan dissolves into the gently sloping hillside. This handsome, grey-stoned country house shelters within fifteen acres of landscaped grounds. A riot of daffodils in spring, fourteen varieties sing as proudly as the Welsh Male Voice Choir, statesmanlike trees whisper accompanied by the last giggles of a winterbourne stream and the River Mawddach as it laughs by.

The Reading Rooms

Yorkshire Dales National Park - Buckden, Skipton

Dog Friendly Property

A genuine slice of Dales history is what's on offer here. As its name suggests, this sweet stone cottage was an important part of Oughtershaw's cultural life, and now makes a tranquil riverside retreat from which to explore the wider national park.

Oughtershaw Hall

Yorkshire Dales National Park - Buckden, Skipton

Dog Friendly Property

The magnificent detached country estate of Oughtershaw Hall rests in splendid isolation within the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The property may date back to the 1600s, but don’t let this noble stone pile deceive you. Within its most Yorkshire of stone walls is more than the odd 21st-century surprise, non-more so than its own private heated swimming pool. The perfect large country house to rent for all the family, sleeping up to 16 guests at one time. Escape to peace, tranquillity & natural beauty with this unforgettable luxury retreat.

Rock Lobster

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Perched on the edge of the intimate fishing village of Craster, Rock Lobster sits where the sea meets the sky, and ocean waves swell against igneous rock. This stylish holiday home by the sea, with uninterrupted views of the magnificent coastline, provides the perfect base to explore Northumberland. Or, to simply sit and look out to the North Sea continually repainting itself.

Middlerigg

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

The motherly arms of Craster harbour’s two whinstone piers hold a protective embrace. The resulting small cove shelters from the wild North Sea. It has welcomed Craster’s fishermen and their cobles for generations. Ramshackle stacks of lobster pots mirror the ragged silhouette of tumbledown Dunstanbugh Castle in the distance. Plucky oystercatchers peep support for their industrious colleagues, frantically strutting and prodding in the mud. The orange of their elongated beaks a close match for Middlerigg’s pantile roof that sits in contrast above its dark grey stone walls. Proudly, the house looks down at the boats resting at jaunty angles below, each one decorated with ropes strewn with oversized colourful plastic baubles. If Craster is the harbour, then the harbour is Middlerigg.

Harbourway

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Dog Friendly Property

Situated at the end of a terrace of 19th century cottages in postcard-pretty Craster, close enough to the harbour wall to hear the squaw of herring gulls and the slap of the sea, Harbourway is a haven of seaside calm – and one of our larger Craster properties. Stoutly built from local whinstone, topped by slate, with double-fronted bay windows looking down onto the harbour, the cottage has been sensitively modernised while retaining true to its 19th century heritage.

Driftwood

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Dog Friendly Property

If you're searching for a classic Craster fisherman's cottage, you'll most certainly find it in Driftwood. The exterior is classic Craster: hand-shaped local stone , little windows and a slate-tiled roof, with a sweet front garden accessed via its own white picket gate. There’s also a decked seating area at the front where you can sit and enjoy the sun and watch the daily goings-on down in the harbour. Inside, Driftwood is packed with period charm – from the original fireplace to the cosy bedrooms, it makes the perfect cosy bolthole for your Northumberland adventures.

Craster Reach

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Dog Friendly Property

Craster Reach is a tucked-away terrace cottage in Craster Northumberland, situated in the heart of the intimate fishing village which nestles on the invigorating Northumberland coast. Stepping into the house from the hushed street, a spacious yet cosy, contemporary interior greets you. Its views from the upper floors are panoramic and life-affirming. Craster Reach is the perfect coastal retreat for up to six family members or friends to share good times and exhilarating adventures in one of the most breathtaking parts of the country.

We have literally just pulled on the drive at home. We had a wonderful week in Northumberland thanks. The weather was unexpectedly good to us, so I managed lots of lovely Coastal Walks. 👍🙂

Your house was fabulous, as always.

It is such a comfortable “home from home”!

I particularly appreciate the fluffy towels, the hot water, shower and bath, the comfy bed, the warm house to return to on a chilly evening and your lovely welcome pack. Everything about the house is perfect! Thank you!

See you again in May! Looking forward to it already!
