The first indication that we were about to begin a great weeks holiday was upon our arrival at the Paddock, Foulden, and found it to be immaculately clean, tidy and tastefully decorated throughout. I am pleased to report that the Paddock met our every expectation. The place lends itself to family gatherings. It is spacious, well designed and with plenty of bathrooms! We were able to spread out for the important ‘me’ times and come together whenever we liked.
We had one inclement day which was of no matter as we spent that day reading, relaxing and, being a competitive lot, made good use of the games room. Great fun!
Sunnier days were spent walking on the miles of beaches at Cheswick and Bamburgh followed by a BBQ or an al fresco evening meal on the patio area.
The major highlight of course was the hot tub. We all thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in it at various times during the week especially as it began to get dark against the beautiful sunsets and amazing views. Truly magical.
For us the extra cost for the use of the hot tub was more than worth it simply because of the enjoyment we got out of using it each day.
Our hosts / owners, Angela and John who reside next door, are welcoming, friendly, helpful and yet unobtrusive. It is evident that they possess a proud passion for the Paddock and work hard to ensure that their visitors enjoy their holiday experience.
I can honestly say that I have nothing negative to say about our stay except the sadness of not wanting to leave on our final morning. Suffice to say we will return in the future.
Thanks to John and Angela......a top week!

Brendan Little.
