Waren Mill is close by and steeped in history. Once an important port, its harbour has long since disappeared, silted up beneath the sands of the estuary. Budle Bay is a bird sanctuary, and at low tide, a vast expanse of mud flats is home to countless sea and land birds making this location a haven for birdwatchers.
The picture postcard village of Bamburgh, protected by its dramatic castle, is less than 3 miles away with its wide expanse of golden, often empty, sandy beaches. The tidal island of Lindisfarne, locally known as Holy Island, can also be viewed from this lovely village. A warm welcome greets guests to Belford, which offers many facilities including a golf driving range, just 3 miles away. Take a boat trip to the Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, from the harbour in the traditional fishing village of Seahouses, or enjoy the local pastimes of horse riding and golf on the links, just 5 miles down the seashore.
The market town of Alnwick with its castle, offers many facilities, as well as Alnwick Garden, which is a popular visitor attraction for all ages. In a peaceful, rural setting these apartments properties give guests an easy opportunity to also indulge in the simple pleasure of strolling through the sand of the Northumberland Heritage Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Beach 1½ miles. Shops, pubs and restaurants 3 miles. The Gearings can be booked together with The Loft (ref UK3161), The Grain Rooms (ref UK3162) and Wheel Rooms (UK3164) to accommodate up to 26 guests
