The Old Rectory is a Georgian country‑house bed and breakfast set in its own grounds of fields and woodland, just 400 yards from a secluded beach on the Northumberland Heritage Coast. Private parking makes arrival easy and the surrounding area places guests close to Craster, Howick Hall, Alnwick Gardens, Alnwick Castle and the edge of the Northumberland National Park. A stay here promises space, comfort and a warm welcome, with breakfasts showcasing local produce such as the celebrated Craster kippers.
Each bedroom has its own character. Holly is a generous double with a king‑size bed and a day bed, ideal for two or three people, and faces west across the walled garden and Howick fields; it comes with an en‑suite shower room. Jill occupies the East Wing and offers a king‑size bed; its large shower room looks east to the sea Text taken from bandbstays.co.uk and the historic Bathing House, while the bedroom window faces south over fields and Howick Woods. Jack can be arranged as a king‑size double or a twin; this room looks north‑east toward the coast and enjoys the morning sun, with a newly renovated en‑suite featuring a walk‑in shower. Rose is a south‑facing double that gazes over the garden towards the woods; its private bathroom, along the landing and accessed via two short flights of stairs, has both a spacious bath and a separate shower, so it is best suited to guests without mobility concerns. Suzie, with twin beds, can be paired with Rose as a Friends & Family suite or booked separately when Rose is unoccupied, in which case it has its own exclusive bathroom across the landing.
For those seeking something different, a glamping bell tent and a shepherd’s hut provide rustic charm amid the grounds, letting guests immerse themselves even more deeply in the tranquillity of this coastal retreat.
