Was a very comfortable clean and convenient place to stay in a nice quiet Village but very convenient to visit lots of beautifull places would definitely go again
This cottage is immaculate, quite large but still very welcoming and cosy, the quality of the furnishings is lovely and everything has been put together with a great deal of thought. Ideally situated in the centre of hhe village with 3 pubs and a co op close by, and handy for all the sights you could wish to visit. Communication with the owners was spot on, many thanks for a lovely stay!
Great base for a stay on the Northumberland Coast.
Spacious property with friendly hosts.
Nice touches such as local game made jam in the welcome pack.
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.

This property was great: very clean,spacious, and had everything we needed for a nice stay.The roof top garden was also a bonus especially as the weather was hot.The village has a couple of places to eat plus a `chippie`.Parking was easy with plenty of choice.Would stay again.
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.
We loved the layout, the honey gift that we ate almost immediately and the centrality of its location...away from the tourists and yet near enough to many places for us to go and explore.
Converteted flat in old bank centre of beautiful quiet village close to coast and great places to visit.
All amenities in the flat , very comfortable and homely
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.
A spacious, well-equipped and well presented home, perfect for our family holiday in Northumberland. The welcome hamper and cream eggs were a lovely touch and made my kids very happy! Thank you!
The most perfect Christmas get away. Gorgeous cosy cottage and absolutely loved the roof terrace for star gazing. Quiet village but everything we needed. Easy to drive over to the coast and great local pubs. Super communication from host and the cottage was immaculate with everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much we had a very peaceful and relaxing Christmas away
