A fantastic property

We stayed at Pyg Pen cottage to attend our Goddaughter’s wedding at Newton Hall. Originally from the area we knew the location would be perfect. The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It is so well equipped with everything you could ever need. We absolutely loved it.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely area

We all enjoyed our stay in this exceptionally well equipped cottage. We went for my 70th birthday celebration with our family and 2 dogs and we were all very comfortable. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very spacious.We enjoyed all the local beaches, and a boat trip to the Farne islands. We also had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Rocking horse cafe and a delicious meal overlooking the sea at the Jolly fisherman in Craster.
