Popular Cresswell Drift Cafe launches luxury coastal holiday let
A coastal cafe named one of the best in Europe has launched a new holiday-let with incredible sea views.
The Drift Cafe at Cresswell has now holiday accommodation above the venue – sleeping eight people and overlooking the Northumberland coast.
Named The Drift House, the property includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan living space and a garden with an alfresco dining area, a barbecue and views towards the dunes and surrounding countryside.
Co-owner Matt Bishop said: "We're incredibly excited to finally open The Drift House to guests.
"It's been something of a hidden gem above the café and we're delighted to now be able to share it with visitors looking to experience this special stretch of coastline.”
He added: “What makes it unique is that guests can enjoy stunning sea views, the beach just moments away, and all the atmosphere of The Drift right on their doorstep.
"You can wake up to the sound of the sea, grab breakfast downstairs and spend the day exploring the coast without ever needing to get back in the car."
The addition comes after Matt and Reece Gilkes took over The Drift Cafe just eight months ago - following the retirement of local couple Duncan and Kate Lawrence who successfully ran the business for 12 years.
They then they have since built on the strong foundations of the cafe - expanding the venue’s events offerings by incorporating their own passion for adventure and the great outdoors.
Last month, the cafe was named in The Guardian’s list of the 27 best beach bars/cafes on the continent.
