Meet Your Host — Allan Lacey
Hello, and a very warm welcome to Sunflower Retreat!
I'm Allan, and it genuinely delights me to share this beautiful corner of Northumberland with you. Having spent much of my career working across the North East, this stunning coastline holds a very special place in my heart — and I hope it will for you too.
I'm a keen hill walker and outdoor enthusiast, so I know first-hand just how spectacular the walks along Druridge Bay and the surrounding Northumberland countryside truly are. Whether you're an experienced walker or simply fancy a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, you are in for an absolute treat.
What I love most about hosting is knowing that guests arrive as strangers to this area and leave already planning their return. Sunflower Retreat has been prepared with real care and attention — I want you to feel at home from the moment you step through the door.
My grandchildren love visiting this part of the world too, so I understand exactly what families need to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after.
I hope Sunflower Retreat gives you memories to treasure. Enjoy every moment — and don't hesitate to get in touch if there's anything you need.
Allan
Cresswell Towers sits in one of England's most unspoilt and rewarding coastal locations, and guests return year after year simply because the area is so special.
The Coast
Druridge Bay is right on your doorstep — a breathtaking seven-mile sweep of golden sand, rolling dunes, and nature reserves that regularly features among England's finest beaches. Whether you are walking, birdwatching, or simply watching the waves, it never disappoints. The entire Northumberland coastline is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it shows. The Northumberland Coast Path passes right through, offering some of the most spectacular and least crowded coastal walking in England.
Historic Landmarks
Northumberland is castle country. Warkworth Castle, Bamburgh Castle, and the iconic Dunstanburgh Castle are all within easy reach and are simply spectacular. Alnwick Castle — famous worldwide as a filming location for Harry Potter — is just a short drive away, as is the magnificent Alnwick Garden. The holy island of Lindisfarne and the wildlife-rich Farne Islands are within comfortable driving distance and are genuinely unmissable.
Local Towns & Dining
The charming market town of Alnwick offers excellent independent restaurants, cafes, and shops. Amble — Northumberland's friendliest town — is minutes away and boasts a wonderful harbour, artisan food shops, and the famous Amble Harbour Village. Both are well worth an afternoon's exploration.
Family Favourites
Nearby Woodhorn Museum offers fascinating local heritage and regularly hosts family events. The Northumberland Wildlife Trust reserves around Druridge Bay are wonderful for children and wildlife lovers alike, with birdlife, wetlands, and open countryside all easily accessible.
Getting Around
Newcastle city centre is under an hour away, offering world-class dining, culture, and shopping whenever you fancy a change of pace. The broader region — from the Cheviot Hills to Hadrian's Wall — is within easy reach for those who want to explore
