Violet Cottage is in Newbiggin by the Sea. It's a terrace cottage, end of the row. Built in 1904. You're looking straight out over the bay.
It sleeps five. Three bedrooms, one bathroom. It's got a 3 Star rating. That means it's comfortable and clean, not high-end.
The main thing is the view. You can see the sea and that statue out in the water, 'The Couple'. On Sundays you'll often see the lifeboat out practicing. The garden gate opens onto a ramp that takes you straight down to the promenade. The beach is never packed.
Newbiggin itself is a small place. There's a proper fish shop and a good chippy. A few takeaways, an Italian, an Indian, cafes. You've got a shop and a pub a few minutes walk away.
For a day out, Morpeth is about nine miles. It's a nice market town with a river and shops. Heading south, Tynemouth and Whitley Bay are within half an hour. Tynemouth has that big weekend market.
The location is good for seeing Northumberland. You're right on the coast here, and you can drive up to the Heritage Coast for castles and big beaches. Inland, you can get to Northumberland National Park and the Dark Sky Park in under an hour.
Inside, there's a washing machine, a dishwasher, WiFi. Bedding and towels are included. There's an enclosed patio garden. No pets, sorry.
