Holiday Cottage Description

This superb listed building was once a school for Howick Village, and part of the Howick Estate, which was the home of the 2nd Earl Grey, who became Prime Minister in 1830 and whose monument stands at the top of Grey Street in Newcastle. There has been a long tradition in the family as tree planters and the extensive grounds and formal gardens which surround Howick Hall are open to the public from April to October. The arboretum, which includes 65 acres of woodland walks, is open all year and guests are provided with a free pass to the gardens and arboretum, a delight to explore. The shoreline is just 400 metres away on a stunning coastal stretch designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest where you can enjoy spectacular views of Dunstanburgh Castle, interesting bird life and wild flowers on a walk to Craster or Alnmouth.
