This character cottage has been lovingly refurbished and now offers all the cosy comforts for couples or a small family wishing to discover the glorious Northumberland coastline. The ground floor has a spacious airy sitting room with dining area, as well as a comfy sofa, armchairs and a large inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. There is a well-equipped fitted kitchen and useful utility/boot room. The staircase from the sitting room leads you to two lovely bedrooms with painted wooden floors, original artwork and pretty bedding. There is also a family bathroom. The cottage benefits from a mature, enclosed lawned rear garden with a private courtyard area for sitting out. There is also a small, lawned front garden with wooden seat; perfect places to unwind after a busy day sightseeing! Whether you are looking to cycle, swim, build a sandcastle or watch the abundant wildlife, this is the perfect spot. The friendly fishing village of Amble is a five minute drive away. It nestles on the River Coquet estuary at the southern gateway to the Northumberland AONB and is full of excellent independent shops and eateries, including an award-winning ice cream parlour. There is also an attractive marina and a lively working harbour from where you can take a boat trip to the nearby RSPB bird sanctuary of Coquet Island during summer months. A short drive north will take you to the picturesque villages of Warkworth, Alnmouth and Craster. You can also explore Northumberland's ever popular county town of Alnwick with its impressive castle, enchanting tree house and extensive gardens. With so much to see and do on your doorstep, Corner Cottage is a wonderful coastal retreat, ideal for touring this beautiful county.
The village of High Hauxley is situated less than a mile inland from the hamlet of Low Hauxley at the northern end of Druridge Bay, a four-mile stretch of sweeping sand dunes and white sands. Less than two miles away is the small fishing port of Amble, which sits at the mouth of the River Coquet and offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and stunning coastal walks.

Lovely house which we have used before However it could do with more cutlery and crockery given that there was a dishwasher

. the first thing you notice is the lovely garden and birds, when inside, the cottage is very clean. Well done cleaners! The kitchen is well stocked with different crockery and large mugs (important to us!) lots of pots if you want to cook and an oven thatâs easy to use. The front room is comfortable and warm.. (walls are very thick) and full to bursting with books, a few dvds and a cabinet of jigsaw puzzles.. the owner has thought about those rainy days.. upstairs, the bedrooms were clean and the beds super comfy.. we slept soo well every night.. shower room is warm and the shower is very efficient.. we loved every day there. Also recommend the farm vending machine just down the road for milk, milkshakes and butter. All top notch and very fresh and tasty.. we shall return in the future.
