Howdiemont Cottage, one of the most popular, is a bright and spacious property for four guests.

A fully fitted kitchen complements the two large bedrooms – one king-size and one twin – and the family bathroom provides both a shower and a bath.
Croft Cottage sleeps up to six and is filled with natural light, with all bedrooms and the lounge facing south. The lounge features an inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove, a sofa, chairs and oak dining table. The galley kitchen is fully equipped, and the cottage has three bedrooms: a king-size, a twin and a double. A private enclosed garden with seating makes this cottage especially appealing for families.
Rose Cottage, also sleeping six, has a more traditional farm layout.

The surrounding area is as appealing as the cottages themselves. Guests can walk 10–15 minutes down a picturesque lane, passing farm buildings, hedgerows and fields of crops and livestock, to reach Howdiemont Bay and Sugar Sands. From the coast, the scenic path leads north to Howick, Craster and Embleton, or south to Boulmer, Alnmouth and Warkworth. Historic castles, coastal villages and market towns are all within easy reach, making Low Steads Holiday Cottages a perfect base for exploring Northumberland’s diverse landscapes and attractions.
