Christon Bank lies 8 miles north east of Northumberland's major market town Alnwick, famous for its stunning castle and gardens. Only 2 miles east of the village are the beautiful bays at Embleton and Low Newton by the sea, which are nestled within miles and miles of unspoilt sandy beaches and dunes. To the north lies Lindisfarne on Holy Island, Berwick upon Tweed and the Scottish Borders whilst an hour's drive to the south is the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Christon Bank is set amidst outstanding countryside, which is breathtakingly beautiful all year round. It is a small and friendly village with its own real ale pub, which offers a range of fine meals most evenings. There are an abundance of excellent pubs and restaurants in the neighbouring villages. With its superb sandy beaches, costal walks, golf, horse riding and cycle ways the area is perfect for a relaxing family holiday.

Previous visitors' comments about Gabby Cottage:
This is our third visit to Gabby cottage. The location and quality of accomodation is excellent. No doubt we will be returning as we have still not seen everything Northumberland has to offer!
Mrs Jarvis, Preston, July 2009
Large sitting room and spacious bedrooms. Pleasant kitchen.Very convenient for the beach at Embleton Bay.
Mrs Cook, Hornsea, July 2009
It was a very well presented cottage with character and very well equipped. It had a garden. We cannot fault it at all. There was a very friendly pub just up the road and lovely beaches nearby. Thank you very much we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back as we did not have time to do everything we wanted as there is so much to do and see in the area.
Mrs Higgins, Ross-on-Wye, July 2009
