The pretty town of Alnmouth is nearby as well as the charming town of Alnwick which is just a short drive away where you will find a stunning castle and gardens or drive a little further to attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo. Take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of an unusual bird or seal. If you love wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place with RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre. Activities worth having a go at while you’re here include golf at Alnmouth Golf Club, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre, surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach and sailing at Beadnell Sailing Club.

Cobwebs in the bathroom, hairs on the floor, dust on towel rails. Tap in kitchen needs attention, loud screeching noise you could hear all round the house. Also front door lock needs attention, couldnât get it to unlock. Regards Mrs Christine Butler
