Good to Know

The Old Granary is a small guest house in a landmark Grade II listed sandstone building on Northumberland Street. You go in through a stone arch and a sheltered garden, and the rooms are arranged around a shared lounge and kitchen.

Why it's on our list: you couldn't be better placed for the village's cafés, pubs and shops, with the beach and golf links a short stroll away, and guests describe it as quiet and very welcoming, with a host who'll even collect you from the station.

Worth knowing: pets aren't accepted, and recent listings suggest breakfast may not be included, so check when you book.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
