Merganser Cottage

Newton-by-the-Sea,
Beadnell,
Northumberland,
England

A traditional cottage with exposed beams on a working farm with peacocks in the grounds just a stone's throw from a secluded beach.

Merganser is a stylish stone-built cottage set on a working farm, with peacocks roaming the grounds and a sandy beach less than 100 yards away. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it provides a peaceful base for exploring the coastline.

Inside, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams create a bright and spacious atmosphere, complemented by contemporary interiors. An enclosed play area makes it particularly well suited to families seeking a relaxed seaside escape away from the crowds.

The surrounding area offers plenty to see and do, from water sports and coastal walks to cycling trails, historic castles and charming market towns. Alnwick Castle, featured in the Harry Potter films, is around 10 miles away, while boat trips to the Farne Islands, home to puffins and grey seals, depart from nearby Seahouses. A village pub is within walking distance, although a car is recommended for accessing most other amenities.
