The Wellstays Journal

Your guide to the best of North Northumberland

Here you’ll find local guides and honest recommendations for making the most of your stay at The Old Post Office, from the best coastal walks near Bamburgh and Seahouses to quiet spots along the Cheviot Hills, family days out around Alnwick, and where to eat well without driving far. We’ll also share seasonal tips for visiting Holy Island, dog-friendly routes straight from the cottage door, and the small details that make Chatton worth staying in rather than just passing through. Whether you’re planning your first visit or coming back for another break, this is where you’ll find the ideas to help you plan it.
