Oak House is a stone end-of-terrace property in Lesbury, a quiet village in Northumberland close to the coast. It sleeps four across two bedrooms, both with king-size beds. The building mixes old stone walls with updated furnishings inside, giving it a settled, lived-in feel rather than a flat-pack finish.

Lesbury sits inland from Alnmouth, so you get village quiet with the coast close by. Alnmouth's sandy beach is just one mile away and the village itself has coastal walks, traditional pubs and independent cafés worth a wander. A pub sits within a mile of Oak House too, handy for an evening out without the car.

Both bedrooms have king-size beds and their own en-suite bathroom - one with a bath and shower over, the other with a walk-in shower. The kitchen diner is fully equipped with dining space for four and a highchair is available on request. Downstairs, the living room has a wood-burning stove with fuel supplied October to April, plus a TV and comfortable sofas. Outside there's an enclosed patio with outdoor furniture and off-road parking for one medium-sized car.

Alnwick is 5 miles away (15 minutes by car), home to Alnwick Castle and its landscaped gardens, plus Barter Books, one of the largest secondhand bookshops in the UK. Alnmouth itself, with its coloured cottages and beach, is a mile off. Further along the coast you'll find Warkworth Castle, around 7 miles south (15 minutes) and Craster, roughly 8 miles north (20 minutes), known for its harbour and the walk to Dunstanburgh Castle.

Oak House suits couples or small families after a coastal Northumberland base with easy train links and castles on the doorstep. Check your dates for this cosy stone retreat near Alnmouth today.
