Personally inspected, thoughtfully chosen
Every holiday cottage in Northumberland is personally visited by our team before it joins the Sawday’s collection. We spend time with the owners, explore the surrounding area and discover the places they’d genuinely recommend, whether that’s a beach that’s blissfully quiet even in August, a village bakery worth arriving early for or the castle walk they never tire of. It’s time we’d never swap for scrolling through listings.
Those conversations shape the stays we recommend. They’re why you’ll find independent cottages with real personality, thoughtful hosts and a stronger sense of place, where local knowledge comes built into your holiday.

Holiday cottages in Northumberland for every type of holiday
Why choose a holiday cottage in Northumberland with Sawday’s?
✓ Discover one of England’s truly last wild counties. Stay beside empty beaches, beneath vast dark skies or within sights of centuries-old castles. We choose holiday cottages that immerse you in Northumberland’s landscapes rather than simply overlooking them.
✓ Holiday cottages with stories to tell. Many of our holiday cottages began life as old farm buildings, fishermen’s cottages or historic homes and have been restored by owners who’ve carefully preserved their character.
✓ Recommendations you won’t find in a guidebook. Book directly with our owners and you’ll soon discover the beach locals save for themselves in the summer, the castle worth arriving early for and the farm shop with the best local produce.
