Retreat to one of our luxury Northumbrian holiday cottages and escape the hassles of Christmas and the trappings of New Year celebrations!

Relax in the warmth, luxury and the home comforts of one of our cottages, with the freedom to enjoy all that Northumberland has to offer, right on your doorstep.

• Local craft markets and specialist shopping for those last minute presents

• Christmas carol services          

• Midnight Mass at the local church

• Wake up to a glass of fizz on Christmas/New Year morning (we will leave a bottle in your fridge)

• Christmas/New Year lunch cooked in our well equipped kitchens, some with bread makers, some with juicers, some with smoothie makers and others with blow torches for the crème brulee!

Whether it’s a full traditional dinner or you really want to rebel and have beans on toast, then you’ll enjoy blowing away the cobwebs afterwards with a brisk walk on one of our beautiful beaches or try sledging down the sand dunes at Beadnell Bay (sledges provided at some cottages!)  December 2007's Country Living magazine listed Beadnell beach as one of the 10 best Boxing Day walks in Britain!

If you don’t even want to cook, then we can arrange for a chef from Fresh Element or Wilkins Fine Dining to arrive on your doorstep and prepare and serve a meal or you can order some homemade frozen meals in advance and have them waiting in the freezer .  Read from our selection of inspiring books, enjoy music from our CD collection, then retreat to the Ocean Club for a spot of beauty therapy and a session in the hot tub.

Do whatever you want.

Christmas in one of our holiday cottages is about what you want and not everybody else!                               

During December and into the New Year, we will supply the Christmas tree and fairy lights, a selection of goodies including a bottle of fizz and a list of suggestions of festive and non festive activities for you to enjoy in the area. Add this to our usual comforts offered by all our sumptuous cottages and we believe you’ll have found the perfect Christmas package!!!
