Had a great weekend stay for my Wife’s birthday, in the very cosy Miller’s cottage. Great location and base for exploring Northumberland’s land marks and beauty spots. The cottage was very clean and cosy and Belford village has all the amenities you would require with some very welcoming dog friendly pubs. My only little criticism of the weekend was the bed mattress was a little firm for my liking, but I suppose that’s personal preference. All in all a lovely stay in Belford and Miller’s cottage.
