Lovely property and we would definitely recommend.
Lovely property and we would definitely recommend. We stayed in September with 2 spaniels. Lovely quiet location, amenities in the village within walking distance, garden secure and ideal being gravelled, and the property was very well equipped and plenty of space to park the car at the allocated spaces. Thank you for the welcome pack. It is accessible to so many areas, nice to have Cresswell beach so close by. The whole area was so dog friendly - we visited Morpeth, Druridge Bay, Amble, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Warkworth and Whitley Bay to name a few, all excellent for dogs. Overall it was a brilliant holiday and no issues with the property, we will certainly stay again.
