One mile up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands – famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony – depart regularly from its harbour. Here there are several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops with horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by. A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress and commands the power and presence of the seasoned television set it regularly becomes.
Just a few miles inland is the bustling market town of Alnwick, with its own dramatic castle (and film location for ‘Harry Potter’s’ Hogwarts Academy). Visitors will also enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden – a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grande Cascade Waterfall and restaurant, which is set within the largest tree house in Europe!

We had a great stay at Water's Edge. The small lake attracted hundreds of birds; Martins and swallows in particular. The beaches nearby are glorious. It's 60 years since we played football on Beadnell beach and learned to sail at Lower Newton. Those beaches have barely changed. The Craster Arms is a 5 minute walk away, lovely local. The accommodation was excellent.

The location was great but the property itself was ok but its cleanliness left a lot to be desired , needed some TLC . We felt that it didn't live up to the price that was paid .
