One or two things need to be addressed to make the stay perfect. There is no information pack to show how to use the fire, the hob(which we couldnât use), instructions for the heating timer, and bin collection information. The welcome pack could have been better with fresh milk provided. Unfortunately when we arrived, before we let our dog into the back, I discovered that the space had not been cleared of doggie âdeposits â . Very disappointed by that. Would have been good if the parking posts could be lowered . We enjoyed our stay and will look forward to staying again next time we visit Bamburgh.
