Travel Supplement
'Northumberland lends itself to free-spirited cottage stays
rather than hotel swishness. Especially since interiordesigners
Roger Copestake and Fiona Mckeith set about turning salty old
fishermen's roosts into startlingpenthouse style holiday pads.
There company, Coastal Retreats now has more than 20 lodgings
sprinkled
along the shore - places such as Pampas, which sleeps 2 and
brings angular scandinavian chic to the seafront'

100 Coolest Cottages
71 Craster Rocks, Craster, NorthumberlandSleeps 6
Talk about makeovers. This modest, semi-detached seafront house
has had the works. Huge windowslook out onto the water, and the
whole of the ground floor is open-plan. Leather sofas,
reclaimedwooden floors and a wood-burning stove all add to the
effect.

Any child with imagination will have a ball here, with access to
nine acres of land, a bridge forpoohsticks and the wonder of
Britains finest beachfront castle, at Bamburgh, just two miles to
thesouth. This barn conversion may be small, but its artfully done,
and its packed with gadgets including a Wii in case the weather
wont co-operate.

"CONTEMPORARY COOLTHE LOOK OUT, Northumberland When designers
Fiona McKeith and Roger Copestake had children, theyembarked on a
mission: to prove that family holiday homes could look just as
stylish as their favourite boutiquehotels. The Look Out is proof of
the pudding, a startling penthouse-style pad on four storeys,
decked in nauticalchic and with a gulls-eye view of Seahouses
harbour. Altogether the couple have overhauled 25 fishermensroosts
along the Northumberland coast, adding funky, family-friendly
interiors to every one of them. Sleeps 8,1,155/1,500;

Magazine, who stayed at Moo House..............
"From the beautiful crib and bag stuffed with everything from
breast pads to Aventi bottles in our bedroom whichwas worthy of any
five star boutique hotel, to the pristine high chair pulled up to
the mighty French oak table inthe kitchen, The Moo House is a hit
for new parents looking for a glamorous self-catering option.
Its'Northumberland location is a revelation with sweeping beaches,
low-key spas and salty dog pubs just a driveaway."
Zoe Jobson, Marketing Manager ofwww.babyexpert.co.uk who stayed
at the Mariner's
'I have to say it was one of the nicest long weekends I've had!
The accommodation exceeded myexpectation...which is always a good
start! The sun shone and the Northumberland coastline was
trulybreathtaking.Everything had been thought of and catered for at
Mariners. It was really refreshing staying somewhere thathad all
the toddler equipment there already, not to mention the toy bags,
books and video's.I met with Fiona and saw Moo House , which again
I have to say I thought was fabulous'.
