There's a dog-friendly pub about half a mile away. A shop is two miles. The coast is close. Seaton Sluice beach is two miles away, with a long sandy beach. St Mary's Lighthouse is a nice walk from the door. Tynemouth and Cullercoats are a short drive. Tynemouth has an award-winning beach and a good Sunday market.
