Amazing holiday home. Fantastic, quiet location with views over to the Farne Islands and Lindisfarne and unrivalled views of the awe inspiring sunsets over Bamburgh Castle. Absolutely spotlessly clean...not a speck of dust or fingerprint anywhere. The housekeeper deserves a medal! Very well equipped and furnished. Excellent shower and large soft baRead moreth sheets. The car parking area a big bonus. Thoughtful extras of tea coffee milk chocolate biscuits for your arrival and prosecco for later. Has to be the best holiday home we have stayed in and we have stayed in hundreds over the years. Lovely beach walks in both directions, a landing boat trip to the Farne islands, a boat trip to Lindisfarne and a trip to Cragside National Trust property were the hi lights of our outings. Hide

Perfectly equipped cottage in stunning location. The on site EV charger was an added bonus. We arrived to a bottle of bubbly, milk in the fridge and enough tea and coffee to get us started. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could need, and the views from the top floor were to die for.
