Offering spectacular scenery and peace, Northumberland is a popular summer holiday destination. Pine Cone Hideaway, a 'truly special romantic retreat', provides the perfect base to explore the county.
Pine Cone Hideaway: A Woodland Escape
This holiday home for two is nestled in woodland, just 15 minutes from the Northumberland Coast and Ross Sands beach. The dog-friendly, one-bedroom cottage is tucked away on the edge of a country estate, described as a 'magical escape perfect for those wishing to be at one with nature'.
Guests can enjoy woodland views from floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, watching birds and red squirrels while cosying up by the wood burner. At night, the garden room offers a telescope for stargazing.
Prices range from £744 to £1,209 for a seven-night stay, depending on the season. Summer spots are filling fast, with limited availability in August. Guests have called it a 'beautiful' stay in a 'fabulous' location.
Location and Nearby Attractions
The cottage is a two-minute drive or 25-minute walk from Belford, a hidden gem between coast and countryside. Berwick is 25 minutes north, and Alnwick, with its castle and gardens, is 25 minutes south.
Bamburgh, a 15-minute drive away, boasts a three-mile golden beach and Bamburgh Castle, the former royal capital of Northumbria. It's a must-visit for exploring the Northumberland Coast.
Alternative Accommodations
For B&B options, Market Cross Guest House and Buckton Farmhouse in Belford come highly recommended. In Bamburgh, The Victoria Hotel offers 29 rooms from £160 per night, just a 10-minute walk from the castle. The Lord Crewe, with seven boutique bedrooms and an award-winning seafood restaurant, was crowned B&B of the Year at the 2026 North East Tourism Awards.
Guest Reviews
One guest raved: 'This place is amazing! The bed was comfy, the en-suite beautifully decorated, the kitchen well-appointed, and the living room relaxing with forest views. The real wow factor is the outdoor space: a tiered garden with many seating areas and a garden room at the top. The views are superb. We will be back as soon as we can.'
Another noted: 'The only point is to reverse into the parking area, as it can be tricky to see oncoming motorists when reversing out.'
