Drive six or so hours up the A1 from London and, tucked away unassumingly among the traditional Victorian buildings, old sweet stores and delicatessens of Alnmouth sits The Whittling House.
A ten-bed lodge and restaurant offering cosy but elevated board for anyone keen to explore the rich history, coastal trails and lush wildlife of England’s East coast, expect traditional cottage-core interiors with modern touches. Farrow & Ball painted walls pair with plush corner chairs, rustic wooden furnishings and fun vintage coastal prints.
