Clutter Cottage is a fresh, delightful holiday home with Wi-Fi, feature beams, modern kitchen and shower room with walk-in shower and toilet, and plentiful storage space.

It sits along the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a few minutes’ walk from the dunes and seven mile sandy beach of glorious Druridge Bay, part of the National Cycle Network ‘Coasts and Castles’. Nature reserves and walking trails are on the doorstep, with watersports activities and fishing nearby close by. Ornithologists may see the rare golden snipe or bee catchers, whilst families of Little Owls send a flutter of delight to even casual bird watchers.

Holy Island, Alnwick with its famous station book store and castle and gardens, used in the Harry Potter films for Hogwarts, Blyth with its lighthouse and Seaton Delaval Hall, Bamburgh Castle, Newcastle, boat trips from Amble around Coquet Island, and Seahouses with boats to the Farne Islands, are all within easy driving distance. Takeaways, delicatessens, cafés, pubs and restaurants cater for all from fish and chips and award-winning ice cream, to more adventurous palates.

Along the coast from the cottage towards Cresswell is the popular Drift Café and a dining pub is around a mile away. Amble has a Sunday market, plenty of eateries, a marina and harbour side shops. A plentiful range of further places of interest and activities, plus supermarkets are all within a short radius. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Best holiday cottage we have stayed in
We had a fabulous stay walking to the beautiful beach every day with the kids (5 mins away) and exploring the local area . We also went to the Drift cafe, Cresswell Ices and the Druridge bay country park. All fabulous (and can be walked to in under an hour) The cottage itself was perfect, clean and enough space for a family of 4. We will be back!
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023

We had a lovely stay (2nd visit) in Clutter Cottage and have booked again for next year. It is just what we like - extremely quiet setting, easy 5 minute access to a wonderful expanse of beach, surrounded by fields, all manner of birds to watch and other wildlife, nice pub serving good quality reasonably priced meals about a mile or so away and a lovely cafe a mile the other way for breakfast. Also within easy driving of Amble, Newbiggin, Ashington and Morpeth as well as the well known seaside towns and villages further north. Clutter Cottage, although reasonably basic, has everything we need and is dog friendly. We love it. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This property is lovely and comfortable.
This property is lovely and comfortable. The owner has put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming home. A point to mention is the hob type is Induction and takes time to get used to if you are not familiar with using one. Location quite near to a stunning Beach and a five minute drive to a pleasant pub serving good food but does not accept dogs. Fortunately the weather was fine enough for us to sit outside. Nearby Amble is a nice place to visit with ample free parking and a selection of shops. We had a very restful stay at this property. No outside noise or light pollution and a very comfortable bed made a great nights sleep possible. We would return.

Cottage was in a wonderful location very close to the beach the drift cafe not far away in Cresswell does lovely breakfasts gingerbread coffee house in red row wonderful coffee and cakes. Only downside is the cottage is smaller than it aooears on the photos and the double bed is in need of a new mattress very dipped and lumpy! Otherwise lovely break in a wonderful area but you do need transport

Our stay at clutter cottage was fantastic.
Our stay at clutter cottage was fantastic. The cottage was clean & well equipped. The fact the beach was just a few minutes walk away was fantastic & our cockapoo loved spending most evening playing ball there. It was quiet & the perfect place to relax. The weather was even fantastic for October - it was a great location to visit other beaches/places in Northumberland one of our favourite counties. We would definitely book to stay here again

We had a lovely few days at Clutter Cottage at the beginning of September. The location of the cottage is brilliant, very close to the beautiful dunes of Druridge Bay, and a manageable drive up the coast to Holy Island and Bamburgh and the other highlights of Northumberland. The cottage is comfortable and prettily furnished, with a coastal theme. Thoroughly recommended!

A great cottage, well equipped and beautifully decorated and presented. The location is peaceful and quiet, and not far to Amble and beyond. Ideally located for the beach of Druridge Bay and the excellent Drift Cafe at Cresswell. Will definitely be back, hopefully soon. Also our two dogs were welcome at the cottage and the area in general was very dog friendly, with many shops, cafes and pubs being pet friendly.
