Good location Lovely beach 10 minutes walk away On arrival there was no handwash or toilet roll (the owners did bring one until we were able to get some the following day) T towel or cleaning products Nothing to make a fire until you could get supplies. Im not sure if this the norm, but after a long drive this would have been very much appreciated.Read more Having to negotiate the toilet through the kitchen isnt ideal. Hide

Excellent location to explore the wonderful coastal areas of north Northumberland. Handy farm shop just around the corner with a couple of pubs close by too. The cottage itself was exactly as described, small but cosy, well-equipped kitchen and brilliant shower. Good wifi and a smart TV, plenty of space in the lounge to relax. Alnwick about a 20 miRead morenute drive with Lidl, M&S food, weekly market etc. Highly recommend the Billy Shiels boat trip to the Farne Isles to see the puffins and guillemots. Hide
