Where to stay

Coquet Cottages have self catering accommodation in this area, including the quirky Gin Gan, sleeping six, near Seahouses. Interesting fact – a Gin Gan is another name for structures once built to house a horse engine – basically an engine powered by horses in order to operate machinery (it's where the term ‘horse power' comes from!). Or there's cosy Curlew cottage for two in nearby Bamburgh, with its atmospheric castle and huge sandy beach.
