The Ducket, Outchester Farm, Northumberland   ( sleeps 2 )

The Ducket, a 65 feet high tower, is located in its own grounds on Outchester Farm, about half-a-mile from Budle Bay. Built sometime in the 18th century, it stands like a watchtower over the Northumbrian Coast as if guarding the approach to Holy Island. Recently restored, this 18th century Grade 2 listed dovecote now has 21st century facilities, such as ground source heating and Wi-Fi, and offers unique self-catering holiday cottage accommodation for a couple visiting Northumberland.

Whether you are on holiday, honeymoon or just looking for a short break, staying in The Ducket will guarantee peace, tranquility and a most memorable experience, similar to living in a lighthouse on land. It is the perfect place for a very special holiday. Few will ever experience the thrill of staying somewhere as unique and exciting. Its stunning location, with wonderful panoramic views, is an added bonus.
