Great location in a cluster of converted agricultural buildings. First floor living accommodation is great. Wonderful, detailed, instructions on the surrounding areas with very accurate detailed descriptions of walks and places to eat and drink- thank you. Accommodation very tired and comments passed to owners. Definitely would stay again !

Excellent location with Bamburgh only 10 minutes drive and Seahouses a 15 minutes drive from the cottage. Easy access to the A1 allowing for easy travel to other locations. The cottage is nicely laid out with plenty of comfortable seating. There is off road parking at the rear of the cottage. One thing to be aware of is the central heating is by OiRead morel, this can leave a slight smell of Oil in the downstairs hallway. Hide

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage fully equipped with everything we needed and a comprehensive information folder. There are lovely walks from the cottage as it is on the England Coastal Path and also a regular bus route between Berwick and Alnwick.

Perfect location for a quiet holiday. Car needed for access to shops, eateries, etc., we found nothing in the immediate vicinity. With a car, the location is fantastic for access to numerous attractions in the area.
