We had the most amazing week and staying at the Physician’s House was the biggest part of this. The most beautiful, clean and welcoming property. 4 adults and 4 children is a big group but at no time did any of us feel as though we couldn’t find space for ourselves. Everything is of top quality and lots of personal touches too meant it felt like a luxurious home from home. The owners were a dream to deal with, making sure we had arrived safely and had everything we needed and sending detailed instructions of how things worked etc. We cannot rate and recommend this property highly enough and you’d be missing out on so much if you don’t book it now!

IT facilities were superb - suited our group with young teenagers.House beautiful and full of character. Recommend trip to SeaHouses and boat trip around Farne Islands. Well-equiped kitchen but could have done with Kitchen scissors. (food packaging very hard to open without). Overall great holiday home in lovely town.
