Courtesy of a recent renovation, Peewit offers a romantic, well-designed bolthole in the heart of the pretty village of Belford just three miles from Northumberland’s famous coast. Cute and colourful, this cottage is ideal for exploring the county’s highlights Named after a local sea bird and filled with the colours of the coast, Peewit Cottage makes a wonderful coastal base for couples, or a small family. Positioned in the heart of this former coaching village, it lies very close to this area’s Heritage Coast where miles of sandy beaches can be enjoyed all year round – so much so that the air will have a faint salty scent. You’re also merely a mile from the A1, making it easy peasy to explore all of Northumberland, the Scottish Borders, or even Edinburgh from here. The cottage dates to around 1830, and a small entrance porch transports you from the vintage stone exterior into a cosy sitting room complete with a log burner for toasty afternoons warming by the fire, chatting and reading books. There's a dining table and chairs to one side, otherwise continue through and you’ll find a small but well-equipped kitchen decorated with pretty blue tiles. To the front, a spacious master bedroom contains a king-sized bed and a large wardrobe, while the second bedroom with twin beds sits to the rear. There's also a modern family bathroom with heated towel rail and walk-in shower. Green and blue feature walls are guaranteed to catch your eye, along with lovely deep windowsills complete with striking wooden shutters, and a characterful wooden beam turned mantelpiece. Throughout, the property is contemporary, comfortable and well appointed with quality amenities – including a Smart TV offering Netflix and Freeview channels, as well as an Alexa with Spotify account. At Peewit Cottage’s rear, a sunroom/utility area runs the length of the cottage and is lovely for reading, podcast-listening or snoozing whenever rays beam down. Just beyond, up some steps, begins the rear garden. Lent privacy by handsome stone walls, this splits into sections including a pretty, colourful shrubbery, and two elevated outdoor decked areas, equipped with furniture for both dining and relaxation. You’re only a two-minute stroll into old Belford where you’ll find several good local pubs including the historic Blue Bell Inn which serves up tasty pub food. There is also a handful of independent shops, a fish and chip takeaway, and a Co-op supermarket. We’d recommend you stock up on local goodies at the superb Sunnyhills Farm Shop, or go for delicious dinners at The Barn at Beal nearby that has fine views and access to Holy Island, which is easily visited - but do check the tide times! For days out-and-about, Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle and Gardens, the bird-rich Farne Islands, and no end of deserted, golden-sand beaches are but a short drive away.
The pretty village of Belford offers a good range of local amenities including a Co-op supermarket open 7 days a week until 10pm, and the excellent Sunnyhills Farm Shop which sells a wealth of local goodies including Doddington Dairy ice cream, Northumberland cheeses, Lindisfarne Oysters, Chainbridge Honey, and Craster Kippers to name but a few.
The White Swan in nearby Warenford (4 miles) is known for serving good pub food, and there are also a number of excellent local pubs in Chatton (6 miles) and Bamburgh (5.5 miles), including The Potted Lobster which comes particularly recommended for their seafood and warm, friendly atmosphere. A little further afield, the delightful Ship Inn at Low Newton (13.5 miles) is famous for their crab dishes and microbrewery.
If you’re heading to Holy Island for the day, call in at The Barn at Beal (7.5 miles), which serves hearty breakfast dishes and fresh seafood-inspired lunches, all with stunning panoramic views. Or head further north up the coast to Berwick-upon-Tweed which has a range of restaurants and coffee shops as well as large supermarkets if you are looking to do some home cooking.
Inland, the charming village of Wooler (9 miles) offers good local amenities, including small independent shopping, cafes and restaurants, including the highly regarded Milan Restaurant reviewed by renowned food critic AA Gill. For provisions, it has a bakery, a high quality butchers shop as well as ‘The Good Life’, a wonderful deli selling cheeses, cured meats and health foods.
