Mr Turner
Great location just off the A1 with plenty of parking. The accommodation is nice and spacious with plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Some rooms could do with a good clean but it was a good sized property for two families of four

Lovely view of Bamburgh castle from the lounge. Shame no basic TV access - you don’t always remember to take iplayer and Netflix passwords on holiday. Insufficient teaspoons. Can’t recycle bottles. Apart from minor niggles great property.
