Heckley Stable Cottage is a single storey barn conversion set within a 14-acre estate, just 2 miles from the historic market town of Alnwick. This is a detached property on the Heckley Cottages site in Northumberland. It sleeps 4 across two double bedrooms, making it a good fit for couples or two families sharing.

Alnwick sits close by with its market town facilities, shops and eateries. The seashore is 4 miles east, so a day at the beach is easy to fit in. Rothbury lies a short drive west, where the River Coquet runs through the countryside. A shop, pub and restaurant are all just 1½ miles from the door.

Inside, the living room is bright and airy with patio doors onto the garden and it shares a double-sided wood burner with the kitchen/dining room, so you get the fire's warmth from both rooms. Each of the two double bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom, one with a bath and shower, the other with a shower cubicle. The property runs on biomass central heating and logs for the wood burner are included in your stay.

Alnwick Castle and its gardens (2 miles, 5 minutes), home of the Duke of Northumberland, make an easy day out. The seashore and beach are 4 miles away (around 10 minutes), while Rothbury and the River Coquet are a short drive west. Golf facilities are also nearby for those who fancy a round.

Two dogs are welcome here, so this suits families or couples travelling with pets who want space, privacy and a real fire to come home to. With its en-suite bedrooms and enclosed garden, Heckley Stable Cottage works well for a relaxed break near the Northumberland coast. Book today for a fantastic break near Alnwick.
