Hidden Gem

Morpeth sits close enough to the Northumberland coast that the sea feels within reach. Hidden Gem brings you into this territory as a standalone two-bedroom cottage, completely yours for the stay. The property was renovated in 2023 with an eye for detail: a wood burner anchors the living room, there's a modern kitchen equipped for proper cooking, and upstairs a kingsize bed and a single room serve different needs. One bathroom with bath and shower sits between them.

The ground floor opens into a living and dining space where you can settle in front of the fire with Netflix or games, or prepare meals in the kitchen and eat at the small table. An enclosed garden with outdoor furniture gives you a private sitting area. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; initial fuel for the wood burner runs through the colder months. The property sleeps three and is non-smoking throughout.

What makes this corner of Northumberland work is how easily things connect. The working harbour with its Sunday market sits within walking distance, along with local cafés and restaurants. The beach is close by too. Amble, the nearest significant settlement, has earned itself the name 'the friendliest port'.
