Welcome to The Retreat, a brand-new 2022 Willerby Malton 8 Berth holiday home situated in a prime position at Church Point in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland. THE RETREAT: Throughout your stay you benefit from free parking, a smart TV, double glazing, central heating. 3 bedrooms, (1 double, 2 twins all with robes), TVs in both twin rooms, dining area & well-equipped modern kitchen with a gas
cooker and hob, microwave & full-size fridge freezer so plenty space for stocking up. The lounge, with free standing sofas, gives access via the French Doors to the spacious front decking area in which to sit and enjoy them all important sundowners. THE SITE: Church Point is a quiet, peaceful site, it sits on a headland next to St Bartholomew’s Church which dates back to the 1100s, To the left of the site (looking out to sea) you have direct access to a great beach ideal for dog walks whilst to the right side of the site a gate leads to a picnic site on the headland in front of the church where the path winds down to the main family beach. IMMEDIATE VICINITY: Just outside the site is a children’s playground and golf club. Italian, Indian & takeaway restaurants along with an array of shops are found a few minutes’ walk away in the high street. The main family beach sits in front of a promenade with pubs and cafes (pet friendly) aplenty. There’s a great butchers & fruit shop but for the bigger shop the Co-op is adequate or take a 7-minute drive to Asda in nearby Ashington. With over 600 different species of birds, seals & dolphins it’s a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. FURTHER AFIELD: The Retreat makes a great base from which to explore the AONB Northumberland Coastline. Just a 20-minute drive will take you to Amble Marina & Harbour or Alnwick and beyond. Renowned for its historic castles and unspoilt coastlines Northumberland Coast has something for everyone. Popular walks include Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle or Seahouses to Bamburgh Castle. A trip over to the Farne Islands from Seahouses is a must, though you can also take a boat trip from Amble to Coquet Island. Closer to The Retreat is stunning Druridge Bay & Cresswell Beach, try the Drift Café opposite Cresswell Beach. However you choose to spend your time, you can be assured of a warm northern welcome.

Thanks to this weeks guests Emma, John & Princess Lexi 🐶 for sharing this great pic they captured this morning of the dolphins 🐬

Highly recommend Shirley Beauty by the sea for massage, reiki, crystal healing, manicures, pedicures etc.
When you stay at The Retreat why not book yourself a little treat. 💅🏻 💆
Another beauts day here today & not sure whether it’s the sound of the waves, the ever changing skies or the dolphins swimming by but it’s just the most peaceful place, great to recharge & reset.
All turned around ready for tomorrow’s guests to experience it for themselves.

Feeling the overwhelm this week? Christmas feeling chaotic? STOP….. ✋
Take a moment (31 seconds in fact) to just sit…. watch this short video…. but first read below 👇
when you press play… I’m inviting you to really notice the colour of the sky….. while taking in
the transformation of the white clouds with the soft warm light shining through...
Listen … hear…. really hear the birds song….. look for the Heron …. see the birds flying without a care in the world…..
Hear the sound of the sea…. the waves and notice the colour of the water and its ripples…
take in the colour of the green grass and marvel at the wonders of nature all the while taking a slow breathe in and out. Thats right really slow the breathe…..
then once you’ve watched it seeing what you see…. hearing what you hear…. noticing what you notice….. close your eyes….. take a deep breathe in through your nose to the count of 5 …. Breathing out to the count of 5 …. Repeat twice more annnnnnd relax. ⚓️🙏🏼
Another glowing review...

We’ve just had this sent to us from last weeks guest Sonia. Coming up from Worcestershire with her 8 month old baby girl & 6 year old son, Sonia caught up with her friend Zoe who lives up here. Together they all enjoyed days out to Alnwick Castle & Amble where they took a boat out to see the puffins & seals. So pleased you all enjoyed your time here Sonia, we look forward to welcoming you back later in the year ###
