If it’s a romantic coastal self-catering escape
you’re looking for, Anchor Cottage is for you.
Luxuriously appointed, this idyllic cottage boasts
breath-taking uninterrupted views across the
North Sea. In this stunning retreat for all seasons,
panoramic windows frame the changing tides,
while glass Juliet balconies shelter you from the
breeze without detracting from the views. Relax
with a glass of wine and enjoy captivating sunsets.
This jewel of a cottage has been painstakingly
renovated to offer a 5 star romantic sanctuary in
which to unwind. At the front, there is a pretty
cottage garden facing a medieval Pele tower, while
at the rear there is a rock garden and a wooden
bench strategically placed on the “Bank Top” (the
water’s edge) from which you can enjoy unrivalled
sea views. Cresswell village is at the southern
end of Druridge Bay, a tranquil and unspoiled 7
mile stretch of golden sand. Located mid-way
between Newcastle and Alnwick the cottage is
perfectly situated for touring Northumberland, a
region steeped in history with many castles, stately
homes and gardens all within easy reach by car.
Bird watching, walking, fishing, cycling and golf all
available locally.
Ground floor - Immaculately presented lounge
with wood burning stove set in an original stone
fireplace. Light and extremely spacious well
equipped kitchen with glazed atrium roof light,
second wood burning stove and huge picture
windows. Fully tiled bathroom with bath, shower
spray and WC. First floor - Master bedroom with
king-size bed. Twin bedded room. Both bedrooms
have exposed beams and Juliet balconies with a
glass screen. Fully tiled shower room with power
shower and WC.
This former 200 year old Fisherman’s Cottage
stands in an enviable position only a stone's throw
from the sea with stunning views of Druridge
Bay. The views from the kitchen, sunroom, master
bedroom and rear are spectacular and the historic
Pele tower which dates back to the 15th century
faces the front of the property. The cottage has a
garden room just off the kitchen with seating and
cover from the elements so you can enjoy the sea
view in comfort, regardless of the weather, day
or night at any time of year. The traditional, quiet
seaside village of Cresswell is situated at the
southerly point of Druridge Bay. It has one of the
most impressive stretches of beach on the Heritage
Coastline with an awesome seven mile long sweep
of golden sand which runs from Cresswell to
Hauxley near Amble, a paradise for water sports
enthusiasts. Druridge Bay is also a haven for bird
watchers with hides built especially for observing
wildfowl in the Wildlife Trust Reserve as well as
dotted along this coastline. Long ago coal mining
was the main source of income in this region and
Skears Cottage takes its name from the reference
to a band of coal. The local history is brought back
to life at the Woodhorn Museum. Bird watching,
fishing, water sports, cycling, golf, walking and
sailing all available locally.
This Victorian townhouse is located 50 metres back
from the seafront and promenade in Newbiggin
by the Sea, south of the mighty expanse of sand
at Druridge Bay. 15 miles northeast of Newcastle,
Newbiggin links the buzz of a vibrant city with the
endless beauty of this stunning coastline. 2007
saw the completion of Newbiggin by the Sea’s new
sea defence breakwater and the first permanent
offshore sculpture in the UK called “Couple”. The
sculpture of a man and a woman standing together
looking out to sea was commissioned by Inspire
Northumberland and was a unique project for the
artist, Sean Henry. Woodhorn Country Park and
Northumberland Museum are only 5 minutes by
car. A short drive inland is the attractive market
town of Morpeth with a leisure centre, swimming
pool, a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants
plus the added attractions of a Bagpipe Museum
and Chantry Craft Centre. Hexham, Hadrian’s Wall
and the Roman Fort of Housesteads lie to the
west and are well worth a visit. Further north lies
the ancient town of Alnwick famous for it’s castle
and gardens and Holy Island accessible only by a
fantastic causeway. Druridge Bay Country Park and
beach combine country pursuits of bird watching,
walking, canoeing and board sailing.

paradise for water sports enthusiasts. The nearby country park with a lake and ever maturing trees and woodland is an excellent place to embrace nature with footpaths
and trails in every direction. Druridge Bay is a sanctuary for bird watchers with hides built especially for observing wildfowl in the Wildlife Trust Reserve as well as
dotted along this coastline. The immense stretch of sand dunes which follows the contour of the bay is noted for a beautiful array of wild flowers throughout the year
but predominantly in the summer months. Morpeth is 6 miles away, with many stylish shops combined with the historical 13th century Chantry where you will find the

holiday the location of the cottage is perfect as the beach is approximately 80 metres away. Hauxley

and wild fowl can be observed and photographed. Coquet Island the RSPB Reserve lies just off the
northern end of Hauxley Haven and is home to Eider Ducks, Puffins, the Roseate Tern and grey seals.
These can be observed by a local boat service which operates from Amble Harbour and runs trips around
the island. A trip well worth taking! Low Hauxley is an ideal base for exploring historic and beautiful
Northumberland. It is close to a range of outdoor activities such as walking, bird watching river and sea
fishing, boating, golfing, cycling and horse riding.

Bathing House
Howick, Nr Craster

This truly unique and most charming Grade II listed cottage stands in possibly the most idyllic and
desirable location on the Northumberland coast. Set in a superb and secluded position on the cliff edge
with a sandy cove below, it commands panoramic coastal views from every window. The majestic ruins
of Dunstanburgh Castle can be seen in the north, whilst to the south there are distant views of Coquet
Island. The coastline in this region is characterised by a mixture of rocky inlets and lovely sandy beaches
with attractive walks along the cliff tops. A 14 mile coastal footpath between Beadnell and Alnmouth
passes nearby providing the opportunity of walking through some of the most outstanding coastal scenery
in the country, this part of the Heritage Coast is designated an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” as

who was the Prime Minister responsible for the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832 and whose
monument stands at the top of Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. He had 16 children and the house
was built specifically for the family to go bathing. The design of the house includes a large upstairs sitting
room (now the main bedroom) where Lady Grey used to sit and watch the children bathe, and where tea
was served by the caretaker who lived below. The Bathing House is now owned by Howick Trustees Ltd, a
charitable trust who also own Howick Hall. Guests are provided with a free pass to the gardens which are
open between early February to mid November and a free all year pass to the Arboretum, which includes

This traditional stone cottage is situated in the
older part of Seahouses and is close to the harbour
and all the amenities of this busy little fishing
port. The late 1800s brought an upsurge in the
fishing industry, when “Herring was King”, bringing
employment and prosperity to many of the locals.
It was said that there were so many fishing boats
in the harbour that it was possible to walk across
the boats from one side to the other. Nowadays
tourism has taken over with many of the boats
taking visitors out to the Farne Islands to observe
the vast array of seabirds and the colony of Grey
Seals. 3 miles north is the impressive Bamburgh
Castle and 5 miles beyond that is Holy Island or
Lindisfarne. The island can be reached at low tide
along the causeway where you will find the alluring
castle dramatically perched on a rocky crag. Just
south of Seahouses is Beadnell Bay with its unique
west facing harbour and facilities for sailing,
windsurfing and scuba diving. The area has several
fine golf courses, the closest being within half a
mile. Fishing and horse riding available locally.

Coldburn Cottage
The College Valley is an exceptional place, a magical hidden gem in today’s world, once seen never
forgotten; twelve cars are granted permits to use the private road system each day so traffic is unlikely to
be a problem. The cottages are literally sitting on the foot of the Cheviot Massif in the National Park, an
area of outstanding natural beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. At night the only light is from
the stars and moon. Northumberland National Park Authority, Kielder Water & Forest Park Development
Trust and Kielder Observatory Astronomical Society were awarded the title of Northumberland Dark Sky
Park in December 2013, making Northumberland, Europe's largest Dark Sky Park. There are wild goats,
deer, peregrine, buzzards, ravens, kestrels and many others. If you are quiet you may be lucky enough
to see one of the most charming residents, the red squirrel. This is a perfect spot for all the countryside
has to offer; walking, fishing, golfing, riding, cycling, bird-watching, historic houses, gardens, churches
and castles or for driving the short distance to the coast where there are beautiful beaches, Holy Island
and trips to the Farne Islands. Wooler is 11 miles, the village is friendly and offers a wide range of shops
selling locally produced meat, bread and vegetables. There are several good pubs and restaurants in the
area, nearest bar/restaurant 8 miles. Wooler is host to the Glendale Show, held on Bank Holiday Monday
at the end of August. This agricultural show is popular with both locals and holidaymakers; it celebrates
many aspects of rural and farming life, and provides a fun day out for all ages. College Valley is a private
estate, there are four letting houses, a YHA youth hostel and a well equipped Community Hall which is
licensed for weddings and other functions. It is possible to book the whole Valley for events. The Heritage
coast is just 20 miles. Grouse shooting and stalking by arrangement. If you would like to bring your horse
with you, it can be arranged or take a ride from nearby Kimmerston Riding Centre across the sands to
Holy Island. Bike Hire available nearby. Although there is no television reception within the College Valley,
DVD’s can be watched on the televisions provided in the cottages. All the properties let all year and are
available to start your holiday on any day of the week, the only specification being a minimum letting of
three nights. Due to the remoteness of some of the houses it is occasionally impossible to get safe access
in deep snow, in this case a refund will be given or an alternative date offered.

Standing on the wooden decking or relaxing in the hot tub in front of Mount Hooley Lodge you could almost
say you were on top of the world. The panoramic views looking across the South Tyne Valley are absolutely
awe-inspiring. This is not your average run of the mill lodge but a stand alone Canadian style log cabin
constructed from massive inter-locking logs measuring over 12 inches in diameter, a unique feature both
inside and outside. The hot water and heating are produced from a ground source heat pump and the roof
is covered by grass which provides excellent insulation, together making this a completely innovative
eco- friendly building concept. Mount Hooley Lodge is located on a working upland hill farm, 1200 feet
above sea level, on the moor above Alston, which is the highest market town in England. For peace and
tranquillity it would be difficult to find a more idyllic spot. The five star luxury can be enjoyed whatever the
weather and at any time of the year. In summer the
wide bi-fold patio doors to the front of the lodge
can be completely opened to create a picture frame
to admire the view, or you can chill out in the hot
tub under the clear starry skies. In contrast during
the colder winter months the log burning stove
creates a warm and cosy environment to relax and
recharge those batteries. Alston has an eclectic
mix of shops selling local produce, unusual gift
shops, cafes and pubs. There is a narrow gauge
railway with steam trains running on selected
dates throughout the year on a half hour journey
from Alston. This region is known as England’s last
wilderness with fantastic walks along unspoilt
nature trails with an abundance of wildlife to
observe along the way.

Booking
Conditions
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. WHEN YOU MAKE A
RESERVATION REQUEST WITH US (WHETHER BY POST,
TELEPHONE OR ONLINE),
THESE CONDITIONS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN
ACCEPTED BY YOU.
Definitions
Agent means Northumbria Byways Limited (Company Number 5235173)
whose registered office is at Maryholme, Hallbankgate, Brampton, Cumbria
CA8 2NE.
Booking means the reservation of the Property by the Holidaymaker.
Booking Conditions means these terms and conditions.
Deposit means:
(a) One third of the Rental Charge
(b) Full payment if the holiday is due to commence within six weeks.
Holidaymaker means the person or persons making the Booking.
Initial Payment means the payment of the Deposit.
Additional Fees means any fees payable by the Holidaymaker other than
the Rental Charge, including a non refundable booking fee of £20 including
VAT per booking, credit card handling fees, heating supplements, pet charges
and linen charges.
Property means the accommodation for which a Booking is made.
Property Owner means the owner of the Property.
Rental Charge means the total rental charge payable in respect of the
Booking.
Reservation Request means a request to make a Booking in the form of
a completed holiday booking form whether submitted via post, online or a
telephone booking.
Short Break means a holiday for a duration of less than seven nights.
(minimum three nights).
Role of Northumbria Byways Limited
As we act as agent when taking your booking, we accept no legal
responsibility for any contract you enter into for the accommodation or for
the acts or failure to act of any owner or other person connected with your
booking. Once the Initial Payment has been made and a Holiday Confirmation
has been issued by the Agent, a legally binding contract shall exist between
the Holidaymaker and the Property Owner pursuant to which the Property
Owner will make the Property available for the period set out in the Booking.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be a party to such contract.
The Contract shall be subject to these Booking Conditions and any other
special conditions made known to the Holidaymaker at the time of the
Booking. The Agent accepts no liability for any defects or unavailability of
the Property or any other problems with the holiday. The Holidaymaker’s right
of action (if any) shall be against the Property Owner and not the Agent. We
cannot be held responsible for the breakdown of mechanical equipment,
such as pumps, boilers, hot tubs, nor for the failure of public utilities such as
water, gas or electricity.
Neither we nor the owner can be held responsible for the noise or
disturbance which comes from beyond the boundaries of the property or
which is beyond the owner’s control. If we know about a problem before you
arrive, we will contact you to let you know.
Bookings and Payment
When an online booking form is completed by the Holidaymaker a deposit
will be taken, or if the holiday is within 6 weeks the full amount will be
taken online. The payment is made through a secure payment website and
the Agent has no access to any card payment information. If in the unlikely
event the property is not available the agent will inform the Holidaymaker
immediately, offer an alternative date or property or a full refund of any
payment made. Following receipt of a telephone booking or an online short
break enquiry the Agent shall check the availability of the Property. If the
Property is available for the Holiday, the Agent shall reserve the Property
for an initial period of seven days. The Holidaymaker must make the Initial
Payment to the Agent within these seven days. Unless payment is received
within these seven days, the reservation will be cancelled. Upon receipt of
the Initial Payment, the Agent will issue a Holiday Confirmation to complete
the Booking.
The Balance of the Rental Charge must be paid by the Holidaymaker to the
Agent no later than six weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday (the
Agent shall endeavour to inform the Holidaymaker of the due date at the time
of the Booking).
The prices stated on the Agent’s website and in the Agent’s brochure are
cash prices in pounds sterling. The Agent incurs charges from credit card
companies when the Holidaymaker pays by credit card, and therefore a
2% charge will be made for each credit card transaction. Online payments
made by Pay Pal will incur a 3.75% charge. Any charges raised against the
Agent by its bank for handling dishonoured cheques, bank transfers or any
other payments, must be reimbursed by the Holidaymaker to the Agent
within seven days of the Agent’s request to do so. All payments must be
made in pounds sterling. The Agent reserves the right to correct any error in
advertised and/or confirmed prices.
Booking Details
Immediately upon receipt of the Holiday Confirmation from the Agent, the
Holidaymaker should check the details and notify the Agent of any mistakes/
errors made by the Agent as soon as possible and in any event within seven
days; no changes can be made to the Booking after this time. The Agent
reserves the right to charge a holiday booking amendment fee of £30.00 +
VAT to administer/correct any error by the Holidaymaker.
Breakage Deposits
Some of our properties require a breakage deposit and this is noted against
the property description. For properties sleeping 8 plus, a breakage deposit
will be required for Christmas and New Year bookings, this rule may also
apply for parties aged under 21. The deposit must be paid 1 week prior to
your holiday commencement (please note all payments made will be cashed),
or paid 2 days before your holiday commencement by credit card and will be
refunded within 1 week of your return provided there is no damage. Any cost
of repair or replacement items will be accounted for and deducted from your
deposit prior to being refunded.
60
Cancellation by the Holidaymaker
The Holidaymaker should notify the Agent immediately in writing if he/
she wishes to cancel the Booking. The cancellation only takes effect when
the Agent has received written confirmation from the Holidaymaker. Your
cancellation will be acknowledged by the Agent in writing. You are still liable
for any outstanding balance on the due date. The Agent will endeavour to
re-let your holiday. If the Agent is successful in re-letting the holiday for
the entire period originally booked it shall refund all monies paid (whether
deposit or otherwise) less an administration fee of £30.00 + VAT. If the Agent
is only successful in re-letting a proportion of the period originally booked it
shall refund that proportion of monies paid (whether deposit or otherwise)
less an administration fee of £30.00 + VAT. If the Agent is unsuccessful
in re-letting the holiday then all monies paid shall be forfeited and any
outstanding balances will still be payable on the due date. The Agent
strongly recommends the Holidaymaker has some form of insurance. Once a
booking has been confirmed by the Agent it can only be changed to another
date, providing the property is available and the Owner is agreeable to the
change. An administration fee of £30.00 + VAT will be payable. The holiday
can only be changed to another property by treating the original booking as
a cancellation.
Other Cancellations
In the event of the Agent being unable to arrange the holiday accommodation
requested by the Holidaymaker, or if the Property becomes unavailable
for whatever reason, the Agent will endeavour to arrange alternative
accommodation for the Holidaymaker of an equivalent type and standard in
a similar location. If the alternative is less expensive than the original the
Agent will refund the difference, if more expensive, the Agent will ask the
Holidaymaker to pay the difference. If the Holidaymaker has paid any money
in respect of a Property and that Property subsequently becomes unavailable
and no suitable alternative can be offered the Agent shall refund all monies
paid by the Holidaymaker. Save as set out above, the Agent shall have no
liability for the cancellation or alteration of a Booking.
Brochure Accuracy
To the best of the Agent’s knowledge the details provided by the Owners
relating for their Property/ies described in the Agent’s brochure and website
were correct at the time of printing. Property descriptions and prices may
be subject to change. Upon becoming aware of any material inaccuracies
or price changes in any published description of the Property or material
changes to the Property, the Agent shall endeavour to correct them in future
publications and inform the Holidaymaker. The Agent reserves the right
to amend any inaccuracies including description, services and pricing. If
the alterations prove unacceptable to the Holidaymaker then alternative
accommodation will be arranged or a full refund of monies paid will be
given. The Agent is not liable for any costs associated with alternative
accommodation, which must be paid by the Holidaymaker. The Agent cannot
accept responsibility for any changes or closures to area amenities or
attractions mentioned in the brochure.
Responsibilities of the Holidaymaker
It is the responsibility of the Holidaymaker to contact the Owner or Caretaker
to make arrangements for the key collection. Details of which will be sent on
acknowledgement of the final balance. If the Holidaymaker is unable to make
contact then the Company should be notified before the start of the holiday.
During the period of the holiday, the Holidaymaker (personally and on behalf
of all other people visiting the Property) undertakes (for the benefit of the
Property Owner and the Agent) the following:
i
that the number of people occupying the Property will not exceed the
number stated on the Holiday Confirmation.
ii

limited to, refraining from abuses of the Property and/or dangerous,
offensive or rude behaviour to the Property Owner, his representative or
any third parties such as neighbours).

at any reasonable time during the period of holiday.

fittings in or on the Property in the same state of repair and condition
as at the commencement of the holiday and to ensure that at the
end of the holiday the Property is left in the same state of order and
cleanliness in which it was found. The Property Owner reserves the
right to levy an additional charge for any extra cleaning required after
the Holidaymaker’s occupancy and for any consequential loss
v
to report as soon as possible to the Property Owner (or his
representative) any breakages or damage caused by the Holidaymaker
during the holiday and to reimburse the Property Owner with the cost

against the Holidaymaker for repair or loss as a result of damage
caused.
vi
to arrive after 4 p.m. on the arrival day and to vacate the Property by 10

person other than guests booked and staying in the Property for their
holiday to use the facilities and amenities of the Property.
viii to notify all other members of the Holidaymaker’s party of these
undertakings.
In the event of a breach of any of the above undertakings, the Property
Owner (or representative) can refuse to allow the Holidaymaker to take
possession of the Property or make the Holidaymaker leave the Property
before the end of the Holiday. In either case the Holidaymaker shall be
deemed to have cancelled the Booking and the Holidaymaker shall have no
claim for compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
Pets
Pets are only allowed at Properties that are advertised as allowing pet/pets.
There is a £15 per pet per week charge although some cottages charges may
be higher – see brochure or website description. If a Holidaymaker takes a
pet to a Property that does not allow them, or exceeds the stated number/
size of pet, the Property Owner (or his representative) can refuse to allow the
Holidaymaker to take possession of the Property or make the Holidaymaker
leave the Property before the end of the holiday. If this happens the
Holidaymaker shall be deemed to have cancelled the Booking and the
Holidaymaker shall have no claim for compensation or reimbursement
whatsoever.
The Holidaymaker is liable for all damage caused by his/her pets. The
Holidaymaker should remove all traces (inside and out) from the Property
of pet occupation before final departure. The Property Owner reserves the
right to levy an additional charge for any extra cleaning required after the
Holidaymaker’s occupancy. The Holidaymaker must not allow pets on beds or
furniture within the Property and pets must not be left alone in the Property
at any time. If the Holidaymaker breaches this clause the Property Owner
(or his representative) may notify the Holidaymaker of the breach and if the
Holidaymaker continues to breach this clause the Property Owner (or his
representative) may make the Holidaymaker leave the Property before the
end of the Holiday. If this happens the Holidaymaker shall be deemed to
have cancelled the Booking and the Holidaymaker shall have no claim for
compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
Liability
The Holidaymaker’s (and all other members of the Holidaymaker’s party’s)
personal belongings and vehicles (together with their contents) are left at
the Property entirely at their own risk. The Company shall accept no liability
to the Holidaymaker for any loss, damage or injury howsoever caused to the
Holidaymaker or to the Holidaymaker’s personal property (or to persons in
the Holidaymaker’s party or their personal property) during their stay at the
Property. As the Company acts only as the Agent for the owner, the Company
cannot accept any liability for any act(s) or omission(s) of the owner or
anyone representing, or employed by, the owner. The Company cannot accept
any liability for any shortcomings or defects with or in any Property as all
Properties are within the sole control of the owner.
No representative, agent or sales person (whether employed by the Agent
or not):
i
has the authority to vary, amend or waive any of these Booking
Conditions and no amendment or addition to any of these Booking
Conditions shall be deemed to have been accepted unless accepted in

Complaints
In the unlikely event the Holidaymaker may have cause for dissatisfaction,

representative) as soon as possible. The Agent encourages all Property
Owners to take complaints from Holidaymakers seriously and to resolve them
if at all possible. If the Holidaymaker is unhappy with the Property Owner’s
response, the Holidaymaker should contact the Agent as soon as possible
whilst still on holiday and provide details of the complaint and the Property
Owner’s response. Without prejudice, upon receipt of details of a complaint
from a Holidaymaker, the Agent may (in its absolute discretion) liaise with the
Holidaymaker and the Property Owner and attempt to resolve the outstanding
