Itâs in a great location to explore Northumberland. The beach is only a 10-15 drive away. Secure garden for our dogs, ample parking and we were very comfortable. We look forward to returning in the future

The information sent out in advance and the communication from the owner was very clear and helpful and enhanced our stay. The location and the cottage were both great, it met all of our requirements. We would definitely recommend and would look to stay there again.
