Northumberland beach cottages


Recommended Posts

We have two holiday cottages overlooking the sea in Cresswell, Druridge Bay on the Northumberland coast - Anchor Cottage which we have owned for several years and Pele View Cottage which we have recently purchased.


Druridge Bay is a stunning area of outstanding natural beauty. There are seven miles of golden sandy beach on the doorsteps of both cottages. The beach is very clean with golden sand, rock pools and sand dunes ? it is also dog friendly! The entire bay is a haven for wildlife. We frequently see dolphins and seals from the cottage and the area is popular with birdwatchers as it attracts so many different species of birds. Guests have reported spotting over 40 species of birds and we often watch a barn owl hunting in the fields around the cottages on summer evenings.


There are so many outdoor activities to be enjoyed such as walking (the Northumberland coastal path begins in Cresswell) and cycling ? both cottages are on cycle route number one. There are also many wonderful castles nearby including Bamburgh, Dunstanborough, Warkworth and Alnwick (which is where some of Harry Potter was filmed). Holy Island is about an hour?s drive away and there are also wonderful boat trips to the beautiful, unspoilt Farne Islands. These boat trips are suitable for children and are fantastic for seeing hundreds of seals, puffins and other sea birds. It really is the perfect place to get away to.


Although we had to cancel many recent bookings on Anchor Cottage due to lockdown, most guests (some who have stayed many times before) have transferred their bookings over to next year and it is beginning to fill up. We are only just starting to advertise Pele View (so named because it overlooks a medieval Pele tower at the front of the cottage and the sea at the back). This cottage is perfect for families with children and dogs!


Below is our website address. If you look at the guestbook page, you will find out even more about the area, but do pm us if you have any questions.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
