Near Stonecroft

Take advantage of the footpaths that lead you from Stonecroft to Dunstanburgh Castle - a wonderful walk, hardly touching on the roadway at all. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the heughs, the bracing breeze along the shoreline or best of all, nestled up in a sand dune with a flask of coffee and some scrumptious homemade cake!!

Alnwick & Northumberland

Our particular part of Northumberland, known as the Heritage Coast or the Secret Kingdom, is renowned for its numerous castles, excellent beaches and diverse picturesque scenery.

The Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden are a 10 minute drive away and with the cascading water features, are well worth a visit. The Treehouse is now open too!

Our wonderful coastline offers endless opportunities for guests who are keen walkers. We have a small supply of maps and books that are available for use and we are happy to suggest routes. Should you happen to get wet, we can dry you out!

Along with many other activities, this is also an ideal area for cyclists (with numerous well sign-posted cycleways), bird-watchers and golfers. There are numerous golf courses within a 15 mile radius. If you wish to bring bicycles, we can offer secure storage for them.
