Excellent location, nicely laid out accommodation<br/><br/>Smell on entry. Downstairs bathroom shower has doors hanging off, shower is poor flow need to run around to get wet, flooring lifting, sewer smell from shower trap, no attempt to rectify flooring. Beds too soft, whole cottage smelt feisty. We had to rewash crockery before use.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. A stones throw from the A1 making getting out and about very easy. So many fabulous places to go in easy reach, best of all Holy Island.

Very cosy home, perfect for a family of 4. Typical English cottage feeling :-), and we enjoyed it very much. The communication with Host&Stay is easy with very fast reaction times. The location is perfect for many Northumbrian attractions (Holy Island, Farne Islands, Alnwick Castle, Bambourgh) or for a daytrip to Scotland.

Great location for Bamburgh and Holy Island. Nice clean place with parking and an enclosed garden. This is good if you have a dog. The only small problem was the wifi didn't work. As I didn't need to work remotely while I was there, this was OK. All in all, a lovely place and good value.

Not as good as it should have been. Not clean enough. Not aligned with Airbnb's T&Cs. Additional charges added after booking. Host seemingly oblivious to Airbnb's expectations (and mine).

This well updated cottage was clean, light, and airy. It was beautifully furnished, and well appointed for our group of four. It was also perfectly situated for touring the local area.

The house has everything that you need. It is clean. Great bed. <br>The shower is very difficult to use because the temperature is difficult to adjust and the water gets really hot! <br>There is a small garden but with little privacy. <br>It is a good place to visit Holy Island or Bamburgh Castle. <br>We didn’t liked the agency. They didn’t gave us enough information for collecting the key.

Was no breakfast. Location OK.<br/><br/>The radiator in downstairs shower room didn't work and wasn't fixed despite telling the hosts. A couple of the pieces of crockery were chipped. The wooden floor divider leading into kitchen was broken. The appropriate link to gain access was missing from emails so we had a half hour wait after a long journey to gain access. We weren't told about building works going on next door which started at 8am and went on all day. Not exactly relaxing.

Location<br/><br/>Not adequately equipped in kitchen

Accommodation was lovely. Interaction with agent was a little impersonal and generic. Cottage was in a great location to visit Northumberland but busy road and isolated location limited walking opportunities

It’s was a beautiful place… very clean, tidy and cosy. It was a great location being near to Bamburgh.<br/><br/>Nothing

The cleanliness and quality of the decoration. <br/>The detailed information that we were sent on the morning as we left home. <br/>The garden outlook.<br/><br/>That there was no good restaurant in Belford. <br/>The fact that the downstairs shower was leaking. <br/>The fact that the written literature and the framed details of the WiFi password were incorrect but this was quickly sorted via an email exchange. <br/>I also didn't like the number of times I have been requested to send my feedback!!

Excellent location for exploring Holy Island and Bamburgh.<br/><br/>There was extensive building works being carried out in the cottage next door. Had we known the extent of the works we would not have booked this property. There was drilling into the party wall, roof works and an extension being constructed along the side of the property which overlooked the garden. These works started at an early hour which made our break less than relaxing.

Lovely spot for a family getaway - close to Bamburgh and Holy Island and some nice walks by car. Quiet area and really comfortable little cottage - we’re looking forward to staying again ?

Brilliant location for our first visit to Northumberland. Far enough off the A1 that it is very quiet but also close enough that you can get everywhere easily. Short drive to Holy Island which was great. Sea views from the main bedroom!<br/>Simply furnished but we had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen was well equipped but some of the items were old or needing updating (such as blunt knives).<br/>Worth knowing that our booking wasn't confirmed until we found our email from the hosts and had to pay our security deposit on a non-airbnb platform but once we had figured this out then it was pretty smooth all the way through to check in with regular communications from the hosts and texts too.

This cottage was particularly impressive for cleanliness, peaceful surroundings, & furnishings and fixtures were beautiful and well made, I loved this place!<br/><br/>My wife, two daughters, & I had a wonderful, restful time here; the Bamburgh castle was only a 10 minute drive away as was the beautiful beach!

It was just as advertised but could have done with a few more plates and cups ect

Great central location for seeing areas of Northumberland. Lovely cottage that was very clean and well provisioned with everything that you could possibly need. It lacked for nothing. Perfect stay and would recommend the cottage.
