Garden Cottage is a single storey restored farm workers cottage, with professionally designed interior décor and equipped to five star standards and awarded a 5 star grade by Visit Britain

As the name implies, the cottage boasts a garden, in fact two. One has a patio with table, chairs, barbeque and open views of the surrounding countryside looking towards the coast and the other with timber play equipment, wendy house and parking for 2 cars.

It is a quintessential luxury Northumberland cottage.

Children at Garden Cottage

Two gardens and lots of toys and facilities for children of all ages. Definitely deserving of its 5 starfish rating. Travel cot and highchair are available on request. The new ensuite bathroom works very well for families with children, leaving the second bathroom, for guests in the second double bedroom

Location and Locality

In the farm hamlet of Tughall Steads together with a collection of converted farm buildings. Between Newton by the sea and Beadnell. Quiet rural surroundings but just minutes from the sea.

Recommendations

Two couples, small groups, families with young children, elderly guests. Booked with our neighbouring cottages, parties of up to 50 plus cots can be accommodated. Perfect for two families booking the Garden Cottage with adjoining Cowslip

Coastal Retreats Candid Comments (Giving you the only down sides we can think of about a property before you book!)

  The second fridge, freezer, washer and tumble dryer are in the separate outhouse. Not ideal if its raining and you need access to the ice cubes! (there is a freezer box in the underbench kitchen fridge though). There are enough beds for 4 adults and 2 children but the living space is compact for that number of people.

Guest Comments

' Just to let you know that we had a wonderful stay at Garden Cottage
again and truly wish we could escape there more often.
I was in need of total recuperation after a very busy period and I have
returned feeling very refreshed indeed.
Thank you also for the Easter eggs which added to the treats for our
boys who made use of the garden fully and retreated to their bedroom
when it was time to rest.
We have our voucher too and hope to redeem it before long.
Thanks again...you really do think of everything!'
 

'The Garden Cottage was just the retreat we needed as a young family. I would even say that for once we wouldn't have minded if the weather was poor, as relaxing in this gorgeous

 cottage was just great! This holiday has also introduced us to a wonderful part of Britain and we look forward to exploring this region time and time again! Thanks for everything'

.'After a long journey, it was a delight to arrive here and to experience the welcome of Garden Cottage Everyday, it was a delight to wake up here and then to return here after a day out. The children loved it all. Addressing the needs of children in so many ways (even nappies in the emergency box), was just wonderful'

'Love the new sofas'

'Our children think this cottage is their second home. It feels like home and we relax the moment we step inside. When we ask the boys where they would like to go for their holidays, we get a resounding GARDEN COTTAGE. Looks like we'll be coming back next year again'

'Homely, unpretentious, cosy, warm, tasteful and set in our favourite part of the country'
