Fiona
We had a brilliant four night stay at The Old Cottage. Such a cosy, clean, well furnished cottage with comfy beds and sofas. The hot tub and log burner were much appreciated after long windy walks on the beaches at Embleton and Bamburgh. Amanda and John were so helpful and John was easily contactable when needed. We loved meeting the highland cows too. We would definitely recommend the Old Cottage for a family holiday and we hope to go back soon.
