This collection of character cottages is clustered along the spectacular Northumbrian coast around Beadnell, Seahouses, Bamburgh, Craster and Tughall Steads. Each cottage has been restored and decorated to a 5-star standard, to either a contemporary, nautical or boutique theme. And, best of all, all but one are unbelievably child-friendly. 

A starfish rating system operates; the more starfish a property has, the more facilities there are for children. Baby equipment comes as pretty standard and then there are specially themed children’s bedrooms, entertainment from toy boxes to books to dressing up. Some properties have their own private garden space with outside toys, and possibly even a games room. Check out Moo House, The Granary, Smugglers Hide or Craster Retreat to name but a few. Never mind the family – you won’t want to come home!
