In the heart of the charming town of Alnmouth in Northumberland, Martins Cottage is a delightful, single-storey cottage which offers the ideal destination for couples looking for a romantic bolthole.
Having been tastefully renovated, the property boasts a wealth of attractive features such as a vaulted ceiling, a contemporary woodburning stove, tiled flooring and décor in cool, calming hues, which all add up to create a really welcoming ambience.
You can imagine kicking off your shoes, taking a seat on the comfy sofa in front of the woodburning stove and relaxing into your holiday.
When tummies start to rumble, step into the kitchen which is fully fitted with everything needed to produce romantic meals for two and you can take a seat at the elegant dining table and enjoy long and leisurely meals together.
The beauty of the accommodation being all on one level is that it’s easily accessible, so not far to stagger to bed where you’ll find a sumptuous king-size bed waiting for you to sink into it as well as a TV, so you can indulge in some chill-out time while enjoying your favourite telly!
The spacious bathroom is a great space for a long, relaxing soak in the bath or a quick dip in the shower.
Either way, you’ll be refreshed and raring to go in the morning and vibrant Alnmouth is within a short walk where you will find a good selection of shops and eateries as well as a golf course and miles of sandy beaches.
Take a short drive to Alnwick, famous for its castle and gardens, or drive a little further to attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo.
Take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of an unusual bird or seal.
If you love wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place with RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre.
Activities worth having a go at while you’re here include golf at Alnmouth Golf Club, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre, surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach and sailing at Beadnell Sailing Club.
