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'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
