Lovely modern cottage with secure garden, great for small children and dogs. It was one of the best places we have stayed. Very clean and comfortable. The location was great for visiting a range of places, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Alnwick, and Berwick. If we came to the area again we would definitely stay here again.

We recently stayed a week at Caddy Lodge and would highly recommend it.The property is spacious and the fenced in garden is both private and ideal for dogs. The property was clean upon arrival and had everything we needed.Belford as a town is an ideal location to explore the nearby coastline, with Bamburgh nearby. The local Coop is ideal to stock up on supplies.
