We had a wonderful timeat this lovely, spacious property. It was the best equipped of all the holiday/short stay lets we have stayed in. We used it as a base to do many miles of the Northumberland coast path. Chilling with a cold beer on the rooftop garden after a hard day’s walking was really amazing.

We stayed here in October 25 for 4 night, 2 adults and 2 children. The home was immaculate when we arrived, we did not notice anything that was not correct. The home was warmed for our arrival and a lovely breakfast basket left out. The hosts went out of their way to ensure I had the most up to date guide of Northumberland which was lovely and they made sure I had all of the relevant information before we arrived for our holiday. Perfect location to explore Northumberland, Belford seemed to be 20 mins from every place we visited. Will definitely be returning.

Good Location for exploring.

Enjoyed our stay. Perfect location for exploring Northumberland. The roof terrace was a bonus although we didn’t manage to use it much due to the weather. The welcome pack and milk in the fridge was a lovely extra. The cottage was very well equipped with many extra kitchen essentials.

Excellent stay in a home away from home.

Jacqui is an excellent host, and we had a fantastic short break in one of her holiday lets. The cottage is extremely well equipped and a lot of thought has gone into making it comfortable for guests. We were pleased to arrive to a house that was spotlessly clean and we couldnt fault it. Parking was readily available and all the breathtaking beauty of . Bamburgh was a short distance away. We will definitely be back! wonderfdesurrand
