As Christmas approaches, the charm of a coastal escape becomes even more enticing. Crisp sea air, breathtaking views, and the tranquillity of the coast create a perfect backdrop for a memorable festive season. For those looking to celebrate Christmas away from the usual hustle, a coastal staycation provides a refreshing yet cosy alternative. At Claire Anthony Homes, we offer beautifully appointed properties in some of the UK’s most picturesque coastal towns — from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Alnmouth and Beadnell.
Berwick-upon-Tweed: A Northern Coastal Gem
Located near the Scottish border, Berwick-upon-Tweed combines a rich history with rugged coastal beauty. During the festive season, this town’s medieval walls and charming streets exude warmth and a unique Christmas atmosphere. Imagine staying in a beautifully restored property, close to the dramatic coastline, where you can take brisk morning walks along the beach and return to the comfort of a cosy fireplace. With its vibrant history, art galleries, and traditional shops, Berwick provides a delightful balance between cultural exploration and coastal relaxation.
Alnmouth: A Haven of Coastal Serenity
Alnmouth, with its colourful cottages and sweeping coastline, is a quintessentially British seaside village. This charming destination is ideal for a peaceful Christmas escape, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Alnmouth’s beach offers an idyllic setting for winter strolls, while the nearby town centre has cosy pubs and unique shops perfect for last-minute gift shopping. A staycation in one of our Alnmouth properties provides a chance to unwind and enjoy the festivities at your own pace, with the picturesque Northumberland coast as your backdrop.
Beadnell: A Winter Beach Retreat
For a more secluded festive experience, Beadnell is the perfect choice. Known for its golden sandy beaches and quieter atmosphere, Beadnell is ideal for those who want to escape the Christmas crowds and embrace a peaceful celebration by the sea. Our properties in Beadnell offer you a front-row seat to the serene winter coastline, where you can wake up to stunning sunrises over the North Sea and spend evenings watching the waves crash against the shore. Beadnell’s local charm and coastal walks make it a unique and refreshing choice for a coastal Christmas staycation.
Non-Coastal Getaways: The Cotswolds and Peak District
While the coast holds undeniable charm, some might prefer the rolling hills and picturesque villages of inland England. The Cotswolds offer a magical setting for a Christmas escape, with traditional stone cottages, quaint towns like Bourton-on-the-Water, and scenic countryside ideal for winter walks. Similarly, the Peak District provides a blend of rugged landscapes and historic towns, making it an ideal non-coastal retreat. Imagine staying in a warm cottage nestled among hills and woodlands, complete with crackling fires and cosy interiors — perfect for a festive family gathering.
