65 Budle Falls, Waren Mill, Northumberland
Sleeps 4
Any child with imagination will have a ball here, with access to nine acres of land, a bridge for poohsticks and the wonder of Britain’s finest beachfront castle, at Bamburgh, just two miles to the south. This barn conversion may be small, but it’s artfully done, and it’s packed with gadgets — including a Wii — in case the weather won’t co-operate.

71 Craster Rocks, Craster, Northumberland
Sleeps 6
Talk about makeovers. This modest, semi-detached seafront house has had the works. Huge windows look out onto the water, and the whole of the ground floor is open-plan. Leather sofas, reclaimed wooden floors and a wood-burning stove all add to the effect.
