Village inn near Alnwick with a contemporary twist

The Joiners Arms sits in the heart of Newton-by-the-Sea, moments from the sweeping sands of the Northumberland coast. The sea is just half a mile away, with sandy beaches, dunes and some of Northumberland’s finest coastal walking virtually on the doorstep. Known for its striking interiors and relaxed, grown-up atmosphere, this pub offers something a little different. It is perfectly placed for bracing beach walks, wildlife spotting and exploring historic castles. Inside, bold design touches sit comfortably alongside the warmth and hospitality you would expect from a Great British pub.

Telegraph Travel wrote: “A popular coastal pub, 10 minutes from the beach, that’s renowned for its eclectic styling, robust food and dog-friendliness. Bedrooms, split between the pub and a neighbouring cottage as well as a shepherd’s hut, are fun and flirty, with two designed for families.”
