About this property

Living/dining room: Smart TV, French Doors Leading To Patio
Kitchen: Electric Oven, Gas Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Washing Machine
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, Freeview TV
Bedroom 2: Single (3ft) Bed, Freeview TV
Bathroom: Roll Top Bath, Toilet. Gas central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. . Front garden with patio and garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Old Colliery Cottage nestles amidst a small group of three properties just on the outskirts of the welcoming village of Shilbottle. The accommodation is immaculately presented throughout with much thought, care and attention to detail. Entering the property there is a real cosiness and home from home feeling, a perfect retreat for couples or up to three adults set all on the ground floor with the added bonus of having no stairs. There is a well equipped kitchen and the living/dining room room has a Smart TV and is the perfect place for relaxing. The master bedroom and pretty single room have easy access to the bathroom with freestanding claw foot bath.The well presented, sunny garden is a joy to relax in while dining al fresco.
Shilbottle is located midway between the picture perfect coastal village of Alnmouth to the east and the historic market town of Alnwick to the north west, both being a mere 4 miles from your door. Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland and film location for Harry Potter’s ‘Hogwarts’, is a popular visitor attraction. Another place thats worth a visit is Alnwick Gardens - a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden, including a grand cascade waterfall and where guests can dine in the restaurant of the largest tree house in Europe. There is a wide array of facilities available within this lovely market town, including independent shops, tea rooms, a cinema/playhouse and one of the largest second-hand book shops in the UK. The pretty seaside village of Alnmouth boasts a vast golden sandy beach and there is a variety of good restaurants, pubs, tea rooms and gift shops. Golf enthusiasts will delight in two courses, one being a fine 9-hole course adjacent to the beach and the other being a challenging 18-hole course at Foxton enjoying panoramic views. Travel 10 miles north east to the seaside holiday village of Beadnell, popular for watersports enthusiasts.
Visit Seahouses a further 2 miles north and take a boat trip to the Farne Islands to see the puffins at play (in season). Bamburgh Castle is only an extra 3 miles up this stunning coastline. Old Colliery Cottage is an excellent choice for those seeking a homely base that gives easy access to explore the beautiful 20-mile stretch of Northumberland Heritage Coast to the east, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the wild and lonely expanses of the heather-capped Cheviot Hills to the west. The cottage is within 2 minutes’ drive of The Secret Spa, where you can book a spa day or hourly treatments. The cottage also has excellent public transport links with the East Coast Main Line station at Alnmouth, a 5-minute drive away, and bus links to Newcastle, Alnwick and Amble. Beach 4 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Northumberland Coastal Break
The Old Colliery Cottage is a modern one level accommodation in a rural location , a mile from Shilbottle with a convenience store and pub . The hosts provided a bottle of white wine , a box of fudge and chocolates because we stayed over Valentines , which was very thoughtful alongside coffee, milk and tea .
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025
