  Gosh, where to start!

  Beautiful home in a lovely location. The owner, Marjorie was delightful and checked in to make sure we were settled in. We usually stay in old cottages for the rustic charm, however this time we chose a modern decorated cottage and it was beautiful. Everything you would need is there including the best breezy spot for hanging washing out! We tend to take our Tassimo coffee machine with us but spotted one already there in the photos of the kitchen. Perfect! We just took a supply of our coffee pods for it. The TV is also a Smart TV - just remember to sign out of your Netflix/Prime accounts when you leave. Bed is very comfortable (I always take my own pillow) and I can also vouch for one of the single beds which I slept in when workmen were working at the railway. Flashing van lights through into the bedroom from 11pm, so I slept in the other room. As noted, the property is next to a main railway line so you have to expect trains coming through every five minutes, even late at night. You really do get used to them quickly - even the high speed ones that shake the house. Do NOT let this put you off, honestly you tend to forget them. Plenty of outside spots to sit in and the summer house is divine! Watching the rabbits and birds in the field is very relaxing and you can sit in the summer house when it gets cooler in the evenings. Lots to see and do around the area including nearby Lindisfarne (Holy Island) about a mile away. We even popped to the Scottish Borders for a few historic abbeys along with days out to castles, Roman forts and Hadrians Wall. Highly recommend this property, you can tell the love the owners have for it. Thank you for letting out your beautiful property x

  This cottage exceeded all of our expectations, it was immaculate, beautiful and well presented.

  So you have patio seating with panoramic views of the Northumberland countryside, you have decking and then the summer house, I mean wow just wow sitting snuggled up in this tastefully decorated and richly furnished room each evening watching the stars relaxing with a glass of wine after days spent walking on holy island (which is literally five minutes away)..Kitchen was smashing with dishwasher and super quiet washing machine. Everything you needed from sugar to bin liners. Dining room excellent living room immaculate lots of very comfortable seating, cushions and throws, even more garden area to the front of the cottage .Bedrooms all spacious rooms plenty of storages, good quality immaculate bedding .there are three bedrooms the smallest we used as a dressing room but would be great as nursery. Bathroom was marvelous with large bath and the shower was excellent. The owner invited me to look at the cottage next door which has just been refurbished it is amazing, the owner is more than helpful and approachable and lives locally so is there for you should there be any issues. This cottage and the 2 bedroom cottage next door is an excellent base for any family or couple .Yes there is a level crossing yards away but you don't notice the trains after a short while. We loved it and would go back today, we were so sad to leave and will return asap. I cannot recommend this (these cottages) highly enough.

  A very beautiful, comfortable, spacious and clean holiday cottage with high cellings, magnificent views all around it and lots of garden space and flowers to walk around and enjoy.

  Beautifully furnished outside building/Summer House for a quiet time. Very close to Holy Island and many other ammenities to visit and enjoy such as Restaurants (The Barn and many others) and pubs for eating and a quick refreshment. Very interesting and historical buildings to visit such as Bamburgh Castle and many other important Castles not too far away. Close to the seaside with easy access by road to fantastic beaches and coastal villages and towns. A very friendly and helpful owner eager to offer information on interesting places and beauty spots near the area. Ample parking outside the garden area. You almost get a feeling that there are no other houses or buildings for miles. All in all, a wonderful and most deserved break for anyone who cares to visit this fantastic and beautiful area of the country. Highly recommended to anyone who is prepared to travel towards the northeast as a most welcome break on the way.

  We had a fabulous week.

  The cottage was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly need was available, there was even an Alexa. Hand sanitizer and wipes were available for use. The hosts were friendly and very helpful, giving recommendations of places to visit. We were aware of the trains running throughout the day. Weekends tend to be pretty quiet with few trains, however Monday morning they began around 5.30am and were very frequent thereafter. It didn’t bother us too much, but obviously you do hear them. The cottage offers easy access to many beautiful places of interest including Holy Island, Bambugh and Seahouses. There is a pub/ restaurant less than a mile away. We would definitely return to this cottage in the future.
