About this property
Fairwinds is a wonderfully-presented detached property, boasting stunning views of the sea from its elevated position. Perched in the quaint seaside town of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland and with close access to all local amenities and the beach just moments away, Fairwinds is the perfect base for a family or group of friends in Northumberland. After parking up, enter your new holiday home and discover a bright and airy kitchen/diner, perfect for savouring your morning coffee or evening meals together. Down the hall, enter the welcoming sitting room, where you can relax by the warm glow of the gas fire and plan your days of exploration, or click on the TV to catch up on your favourite shows. If you prefer to soak up the sea air a little while longer, enjoy alfresco dining and a glass of wine in the evening on the patio in the private rear garden, until the stars begin to appear overhead. When sleep calls, make your way upstairs where you will find three tastefully-appointed bedrooms, a double with a freestanding bath for indulgent soaks, a twin and a bunk. Both floors also feature a shower room, so you can freshen up with ease. Kickstart your itinerary by exploring Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, home to a beautiful sandy beach, where you can while away the hours on the golden sands or paddle shores to your heart's content. Fairwinds lies less than 400m along the promenade from Church Point, one of the best dolphin spotting locations in England, whilst they don’t visit every day, with a bit of patience you might see a pod of dolphins pass-by during your stay. Head into the surrounding area and the nearby towns of Ashington and Stakeford, the former boasting a range of outdoor activities, as well as an abundance of shops and eateries, such as the popular cafe, The Grazing Sheep. Take a leisurely stroll along the River Wansbeck and admire the picturesque wildlife, before visiting the nearby market town of Morpeth, home to a variety of independent boutiques, cafes and restaurants, as well as a range of historic buildings and landmarks. From age-old castles to ancient woodland and everything in between, the area around Fairwinds is the perfect spot for discovering and exploring the best Northumberland has to offer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fairwinds, it was a perfect base for us to explore the delights of Northumberland. The welcome pack that was provided on arrival, ' was a very nice gesture by the owners, also the basket of dog toys, treats & towels weâre very much appreciated, though weâd taken plenty of things with us. The enclosed garden was perfect to just sit in & listen to the sea, while enjoying the lovely weather we were lucky to have, after a day exploring. Weâll definitely consider booking & staying again in the future, with or without the dogs. Thank you to both the owners & Sykes for making such a wonderful holiday home available. Thank you, Neil & Ann Brown. Also Max & Coco(the dogs)
