Carriage House - Doxford Cottages

The Doxford Estate spreads across countryside that slopes towards Northumberland's coast, with Embleton beach within reach and the landscape dominated by woodland and open grounds. Carriage House stands converted from a Victorian coach house, set on a working estate with shared facilities including a games room, children's play area, and gardens. An unfenced lake lies within the grounds, which guests should be aware of when visiting with young children.

Inside, the cottage holds four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two floors, sleeping eight. The ground floor centres on a living room with woodburner and arched windows opening to a south-facing terrace, plus a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and granite worksurfaces, separate utility and dining space. Upstairs are four bedrooms: one with a zip-and-link super king (or two single beds on request) and ensuite, one double with ensuite and smart TV, and two further bedrooms with twin singles each. A family bathroom with bath and shower completes the layout. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, along with logs for the burner.

Private parking for three cars serves the property. The cottage suits groups and families wanting a self-contained base; the estate's games room and children's facilities are shared with other properties. No smoking throughout.
