About this property

Alnwick 4.6 miles. Resting in the perfect position close to the stunning Northumberland coast and enjoying partial sea views, The Croft in Longhoughton, is an impressive, single-storey holiday home that promises a relaxing and enjoyable stay and is ideal for families. Your holiday begins as soon as you park up on the convenient driveway which can easily accommodate two cars off-road. Inside, the décor is bright, and welcoming, helping to create an inviting ambience for guests. Step into the spacious sitting room which has gorgeous French doors, which flood the room with light, and take a seat on one of the comfy sofas, kick back and relax. Whether you want to zone out and lose yourself watching your favourite TV programme or spend the time socialising with each other, the space is perfect for either. When it’s time to eat, make your way to the expansive open-plan kitchen/diner which is fully equipped with everything needed to produce hearty meals for the group. Pull up a stool at the breakfast bar, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple and keep the designated chef company. Serve up at the contemporary dining table which easily seats six and you can look forward to long, lazy meals together. Should the weather allow then you can carry on the evening outside, where you will find an enclosed garden complete with decking and a fantastic hot tub where even on a chilly Northumbrian night, you can enjoy the great outdoors. Come bedtime and guests can choose from two super-king-sizes, with the master having its own TV and sumptuous en-suite double shower room, and a cool children’s bunk bedroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Wake up in the morning and after a quick shower or a relaxing soak in the bath, you’re ready to get out and about exploring the wonders of Northumberland. Sugar Sands and Howdiment Sands are within walking distance, the perfect setting for a seaside stroll with nearby attractions such as Howick Hall and Gardens, Craster Harbour, approximately 4 miles away, Warkworth Castle, Bailiffgate Museum, Northumberland Zoo, Dunstanburgh Castle and Hauxley Nature Reserve. Take a scenic drive along the coast and check out villages along the way including Amble, Boulmer, Beadnell, Alnmouth, Seahouses and Craster. Take a boat trip over to the infamous Farne Islands and look out for some fantastic birds and even seals. The attractive market town of Alnwick is well worth a visit with its good selection of shops and eateries, making it the ideal place for stocking up on essentials and stopping off for a bite to eat. Offering the perfect holiday home-from-home, The Croft in Longhoughton, Northumberland delivers a break that will be remembered for a long time.

Alnwick's attractive and historic market town is dominated by Alnwick Castle, which is home to the Duke of Northumberland.
