Mr Gower
This is a great property in a fantastic location. All restaurants, pubs, shops and coffees shops are o your doorstep. However the house is quiet and private. We had 4 adult couples and the house was large enough for dining, watching TV, relaxing. 4 proper double bedrooms all with en-suite. Perfect holiday property!

Mr Martin
Having stopped in the properties before we knew what to expect. Excellent location and space throughout for a large family. The price has considerably increased since we last stopped (pre covid) and felt the price for one week was on the high side. We stop in Northumberland every year and Bamburgh is a particular favourite but feel you can get better value and quality accommodation in other areas. We love greenhouse and greenleaf as we have fond memories and love the location. I'm sure we would stop here again in the future and are looking for Northumberland accommodation in Oct 2025.
