Little Tern is a lovely bungalow in a brilliant location to explore Northumberland both on the coast and inland. Sufficient choice in the village for eating out. The crab salad cobs from Beadnell Sores were very good value for money. The bungalow was well equipped so we did cook for ourselves on a few occasions.

Great little bungalow for Dad and I. Well stocked. A good central location for trips out and about. Dad loved the museum at Bamburgh castle as he worked at Rolls Royce and was telling me all about the engines. Don’t tell everyone how lovely it is 🤭 they’ll all want to go !

Very comfortable cottage with a well equiped kitchen. The bed in the main bedroom was kingsize whaich was a bonus and a bathroom wth choice of bath or shower. We thought the bedroom curtains were to thin and let a lot of light in but found the roller blind behind the curtain that blocked out the early morning light. All in all a very nice cottage and would recomend it...
