Jenny's Cottage is a stone-built cottage on a working farm at Bilton in Northumberland, just outside Alnmouth. It's set up as upside-down accommodation, with the bedroom on the ground floor and the living space upstairs. A spiral staircase links the two floors, so it's worth noting this layout may not suit visitors with limited mobility. The cottage has been converted to a high standard and sleeps two, making it a good fit for couples or solo travellers.

The farm setting means you're surrounded by open countryside, with the coast just a short drive away. Alnmouth sits two miles off, with its beach, shops and pubs, while Alnwick is four miles away. Guests can walk straight from the front door into the countryside and the hosts live nearby in the farmhouse, offering local advice on walks and places to eat. Several guests have been invited to feed the calves on the farm.

The ground floor holds a king-size four-poster double bed with an en-suite bathroom that includes a double Airbath spa bath plus a shower over the bath. Upstairs, the open-plan first floor holds the kitchen, dining area and sitting room, all under original exposed roof timbers. From the sofa up here you get views across fields to Alnmouth and the sea beyond, with several guests mentioning sunrise and sunset views from these windows.

Alnwick Castle and its gardens sit four miles away (around 10 minutes by drive). Alnmouth's beach and coastal walks are two miles off (under 10 minutes). Warkworth, with its own castle and the harbour village of Amble are both close by and mentioned repeatedly by returning guests. Howick Hall Gardens also lie within easy reach for a day out.

Book Jenny's Cottage for a peaceful farm-based break with genuine sea views and a luxury bath to sink into after a day on the coast. Many guests return year after year, drawn by the friendly hosts and the setting. Check your dates today for a memorable stay in Northumberland.
