  • What is the nicest seaside town in Northumberland?

    You're spoilt for choice when it comes to Northumberland beaches! Northumberland’s coastline is dotted with charming seaside towns, each offering something special. Seahouses is a firm favourite for many, with its colourful harbour, boat trips to the Farne Islands, and the classic smell of fish and chips by the sea. Further up the coast, Bamburgh captures hearts with its sweeping beach and dramatic castle views — it’s one of the most photographed spots in the county.

    For a slower pace, Alnmouth is a hidden gem. Its golden sands, pastel cottages, and peaceful estuary make it the perfect place to unwind. And if you’re exploring further south, Blyth Beach is well worth a visit. With its long stretch of sand, lively promenade, and colourful beach huts, it’s a brilliant spot for a coastal walk or a day by the sea.

  • When is the best time to visit Northumberland?

    Northumberland is beautiful at any time of year, and each season brings its own charm. Spring and summer are ideal for exploring the county’s dramatic coastline and historic castles, with longer days and milder weather perfect for beach walks in places like Seahouses or Bamburgh. You’ll find coastal towns full of life, colourful harbours, and great spots to enjoy fresh seafood by the sea.

    Autumn is a wonderful time to visit if you prefer quieter surroundings. The landscapes around Alnwick and inland villages glow with golden colours, and it’s still mild enough for long walks and exploring hidden trails. Winter has its own magic too – think cosy fires, hearty pub food, and peaceful beaches almost entirely to yourself.

    Whenever you choose to visit, Northumberland’s beauty never fades. Staying at one of our inns means you’re perfectly placed to make the most of every season – from sunny days on the coast to crisp countryside mornings, with a warm welcome waiting at the end of the day.
