Warm and comfortable cottage

We enjoyed a warm & comfortable short break in this ideally situated cottage. It had all we needed. We visited the near by towns of Bamburgh & Seahouses and all the lovely beaches in between. A trip across to Lindisfarne was enjoyed also. Thank you for our stay.

Lovely base for a gorgeous area.

We have just returned from a lovely short break here. It was our first time in the area and this cottage provided a fantastic base to explore from. The cottage has a rustic charm which makes for a cosy and homely experience. The only downside I would mention is the bathroom. The cottage is not modern,and nor does it need to be as this is part of it's charm,however the bathroom was dated (mould and damp and numerous cobwebs) and after a cold day exploring it did not make for a relaxing experience. I would however not hesitate to recommend this accommodation and would happily stay here again,if not just for that gorgeous kitchen view!

A real gem at the coast

We really enjoyed our four night stay here, the property was fantastic and just what we wanted. The views and scenery out of every window really made the break along with the open fire which we used every evening. We will be back for sure.

Property lovely, garden brilliant for dogs, views and location good for beaches and area. Only thing was heavy lorries through at 04.30 am and onwards.I couldn't understand why this happens, there was only a shavings plant and free-range hens. So inappropriate and not convinced they have permission through such a small village at that time.

Farne View

This is a traditional, cosy, welcoming and well equipped cottage with lots of little extras to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. There is a wonderful view from the kitchen to Holy Island and a lovely log fire for cosy cooler evenings. The owner was very helpful. Highly recommended. (Note: bathroom is downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs if this makes a difference to you - it wasn't a problem for us.)

Great Time Had

Really lovely stay. great location - short drive to Holy Island and Seahouses. Belford close enough to get to supermarket. The open fire was amazing and although we took logs, there was already some there plus coal. Very well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend. Sitting in the back garden having breakfast looking at Holy Island in the distance was a fantastic start to the day. Very comfortable .We really loved it!!

Also lovely walks from the doorstep.The property also benefits from a lovely garden to the rear. It's definitely on our list for a return visit.
