Situated close to the mediaeval village of Beal, this idyllic family-friendly holiday home offers beautiful views of both the Northumberland countryside and beautiful coastline. The cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring Lindisfarne (Holy Island) with its picturesque views, just a short distance away.

Overall the cottage is nice. Warm and well provided. However, we were at the end of a very poor clean, probably a very quick turn around. The sheets and bedding were litterally thrown on the beds, not tucked in, they were stained. There were sanitary wrappings and towels under beds and chest of drawers. There was poo and wee remains around the toilRead moreets. The kitchen was all sticky, the kitchen cupboards handles were horrible. I had to put all the cutlery and plates and cups in the dishwasher. :0 Hide

This is a lovely spacious cottage in a great location. The views across to the Holy Island causeway are lovely with plenty of other interesting things to observe. A week wasn't long enough to explore all there is to see, castles, beaches, beautiful countryside and towns.

A nice, clean and well equipped house with the benefit of very thick walls and modern fittings. Although overlooking the A1 and main railway line these provided interest as did the distant view of the causeway to Lindisfarne. It proved a great centre for island and castle visiting, walking bits of long distance footpaths and for tracking down ancieRead morent ring and cup marks. The Lindisfarne Inn is in easy walking distance and is ok while we preferred the Black Bull in Lowick. Hide

Delightful cottage, for all-year round use. Comfortable, spacious and very clean. A big well equipped kitchen with glorious view over to Lindsfarne and the causeway. Plenty of bathroom space and the delight of a bath too. Comfortable beds and warm throughout the house. Easy to find and despite being close to the A1 we really didn't notice the road Read moreor sound of traffic. Good arrangement of the renovated barns in this old farm property meant they were appealing to the eye and not overlooked. Hide
