You’ll find peace, space and style at Brunton Lake, an agricultural building turned luxury cottage on the organic Fallodon farming estate. One well-behaved dog, used to countryside life, is also welcome.
Especially memorable are its views. From the large, enclosed terrace, which gets plenty of rays on sunny days, guests can sit at the table and chairs and gaze across open grassy farm fields towards distant, glittering Beadnell Bay. Also visible, through a copse of trees, is the small lake after which this home is christened.
Inside, via floor-to-ceiling French windows, all is light and bright; sophisticated yet snug. A profusion of natty cushions characterise the welcoming, open-plan living area whose four-seater corner sofa, real log-burning stove and 43-inch Smart TV stand opposite the dining table and a kitchen. This includes an American style fridge-freezer, and counter seating at its casual breakfast bar.
Just as immaculately presented, both bedrooms lay on Smart TVs of their own and zip-and-link super-king-size beds which can be configured as twins if preferred. The first chamber is exceptionally spacious, while its counterpart delivers more dreamy vistas through two windows. One of their en-suite bathrooms contains a walk-in rainfall shower, with a traditional tub in the other enabling restful soaks following strenuous days out.
Attractive rugs, fabrics, artworks and tiles throughout catch the eye, as top-quality mattresses, dark-wood floors and underfloor heating add further doses of luxury. Everything is carefully planned, such as how the entry hallway lets dogs sleep or dry off after coast and country adventures.
Around the sustainability-focused estate, a trout-fishing lake below the old watermill is available to guests, as are plenty of walking tracks. The ‘Coast & Castles’ cycle route passes straight through, and red squirrels, deer, otters and much birdlife all make appearances.
The glorious sandy beach at Beadnell Bay is a two-mile stroll away across meadows, or 10 minutes by car. Closer too are the popular Ship Inn at Low Newton, renowned for its seafood lunches, ruined Dunstanburgh Castle and the golden sands of Newton and Embleton Bay between. Holy Island and the enchanting Heritage Coast towns of Alnmouth and Bamburgh are also within easy reach, as is an inland day trip to Hadrian’s Wall, accomplished courtesy of the nearby A1 road.
