Warm and comfortable cottage
We enjoyed a warm & comfortable short break in this ideally situated cottage. It had all we needed. We visited the near by towns of Bamburgh & Seahouses and all the lovely beaches in between. A trip across to Lindisfarne was enjoyed also. Thank you for our stay.

A real gem at the coast
We really enjoyed our four night stay here, the property was fantastic and just what we wanted. The views and scenery out of every window really made the break along with the open fire which we used every evening. We will be back for sure.

Lovely base for a gorgeous area.
We have just returned from a lovely short break here. It was our first time in the area and this cottage provided a fantastic base to explore from. The cottage has a rustic charm which makes for a cosy and homely experience. The only downside I would mention is the bathroom. The cottage is not modern,and nor does it need to be as this is part of it's charm,however the bathroom was dated (mould and damp and numerous cobwebs) and after a cold day exploring it did not make for a relaxing experience. I would however not hesitate to recommend this accommodation and would happily stay here again,if not just for that gorgeous kitchen view!
