Mrs Filer
Excellent location and countryside views. Easy to access the Northumberland coast and its attractions....Also nice to be able to walk in the local area and only 20mins walk to Bamburgh. ....Fulfilled all our needs as we were three households. Excellent hot tub. Plenty of space inside to spread out or use communal spaces. Nice to have tv in each room. A special thankyou to the maintenance man who helped us with the freezer which was not working when we arrived. We lost some of our Tesco frozen food as the freezer had to be turned off for 24hrs...a temporary fridge was brought to keep food chilled.
