This was a lovely cottage, very comfy and cosy and had everything we needed for a family of five plus a visiting family member. Very spacious inside. The garden with the wood and stream was an added bonus, with lots of wildlife on our doorstep.Made a great base for all the local beaches and attractions , very close to Bamburgh and Seahouses and Holy Island - close to the A1 so easy to get about. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, we miss it already!

Nice location - peaceful yet handy for visiting many beautiful places. The grounds were particularly nice - some deckchairs or similar would be a nice touch to help enjoy them.The cottage itself is nice and comfortable. Our first impressions on arrival were spoilt a little though by cleanliness. To be fair, the kitchen and bathroom were very clean, but we got the impression that all the cleaning time had been spent on these and the rest of the property given a superficial once over. A shame as it let down an otherwise good cottage.

A lovely setting in a rural location. It had a nice garden and grounds. Best to reverse in as the exit from the cottage is concealed. Unfortunately on our visit the road from the A1 was closed during weekdays. The cottage has everything you need. The beds were a little soft for our liking and the main bedroom was cold. It is in a good location for visiting the coast and castles.
