Rafters

Description

This exquisitely furnished cottage was converted from the former farm buildings of Tughall Steads. It is an excellent combination of traditional and contemporary design, with many original features remaining. The spacious living accommodation, tranquil surroundings and easy coastal access are perfect for a family vacation. The nearby village of Beadnell is a centre for water sports with sailing, fishing and scuba diving and perfect for strolling along a beautiful stretch of golden sands. Beadnell is located at the mid-point of the 30 mile stretch of the Heritage Coast. The skyline of this region is littered with the ruins of many castles and forts, one of the most famous being Dunstanburgh Castle, 4 miles south, which can be reached via a coastal footpath. Beyond this is the picturesque fishing village of Craster, renowned for oak smoked kippers. A short drive inland to Northumberland's National Park offers a refreshing contrast.
