Reviews

Very comfortable, well equipped property in a prime location

Miss R,

This was the perfect house for our family getaway. Location was perfect as we were celebrating a 70th Birthday. We had easy access to Bamburgh beach and castle. Great local pubs and places to eat. We enjoyed watching cricket and playing tennis. Out on the mountain bikes and went fishing from seahouses, paddle boarding off Bamburgh beach there is so much to do in the area. The house was roomy and well equipped and practical. Small yard at the back perfect for barbecue. The hosts left a very generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated.

Mrs A,

A lovely cottage in a fantastic location. Very clean with most things you would need for a short stay. Lots of great little touches like a voucher for a free pound of sausages from the butchers, a welcome pack with wine, cheese, crackers and chocolate and free round of golf and games of tennis.
