The Beach House Hotel is family run, and is praised for its relaxed "home from home" atmosphere, which the new found owners Malcolm and Hazel have striven to create. In its idealic location the hotel is set back from one of the most beautiful stretches of heritage coastline that Northumberland has to offer. The golden sands stretch to the neighbouring village of Bamburgh, where one of the most magnificent castles in England can be explored.www.beachhousehotel.co.ukSeafront/St Aidans, NE68 7SR

Longstone House is situated in North Sunderland, the quiet, old part of Seahouses, less than a mile from the Heritage Coastline. Miles of glorious sandy beaches, rocky shoreline and tidal flats teeming with bird life stretch north past imposing Bamburgh Castle, Budle Bay and the Holy Island causeway to the Scottish Border, and south past Beadnell and Embleton Bays to the stunning Dunstanburgh Castle. Boat trips to visit the bird sanctuaries and seal colonies of the Farne Islands leave from the nearby picturesque fishing harbour of Seahouses.www.longstonehousehotel.co.uk182 Main St North Sunderland, NE68 7UA
