Downstairs, you'll find two twin bedrooms tastefully furnished in contemporary cottage style, along with a family bathroom featuring a bath with shower over.

The location of this cottage will enhance your whole holiday! Having a balcony view over the harbour and Farne Islands means there is so much to watch, from sea birds to boats to big skies, you will never switch on a screen. Very convenient for all amenities too. The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Lots of stairs, includiRead moreng the spiral set to the main bedroom, means this wouldn't suit toddlers or anyone with mobility issues. Hide

Great location and lovely views. Lots of stairs and spiral staircase is very narrow and steep. Cream carpets so can be a challenge with a four legged friend. Parking at back of property can be blocked. Only 1 set of keys provided

The biggest plus was the view...amazing!! The cottage itself was comfortable but decor tired and neglected. Issues with hob and TV which took an age to sort out. Owner not available when I rang. Overall clean but bathroom grubby, black grout and base of taps dirty. Also greasy,dirty oven trays and grill pan. Bedding and towels clean. Stairs extremeRead morely steep. Hide

Harbour View provided us with the comfort we needed to rest as a whole family . The view over the harbour was beautiful. We would love to book again . This home really is well presented with its coastal touches throughout. The town is 2mins walk and pubs are great too . You will not be bored. My kids want to rebook and cried when we had leave .

Lovely stay at Harbour View Cottage. Wonderful views of the harbour and beyond. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you will need on holiday. The complementary wine on arrival was a nice touch. Fantastic location right in the centre but also very quiet, that could be because of the time of year we visited.

Absolutely stunning view and well placed to enjoy beach and town, but the accommodation was a little tired in places. More checks needed regarding cleaning and replacing light bulbs and burned out frying pans. The twin beds were more comfortable than some we've encountered and the rooms are pleasantly decorated.
