Guests say
Beehive Barn is highly praised for its cleanliness, homely feel, and stunning location near Northumberland's attractions. Guests love the spaciousness, tasteful decoration, and extras like a jukebox and open fire. The large garden and views are also appreciated. Some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvement are noted, but overall, guests are eager to return and recommend the property.
The property consistently receives compliments for its cleanliness, with guests finding it very clean and comfortable. There is a single mention of human hair behind cushions and a stained toilet seat, but these seem to be isolated incidents.
The location is universally lauded for its beauty and convenience, with proximity to Holy Island and other attractions. The views and accessibility are frequently highlighted as major positives.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of cosy bedrooms and a snug lounge with a log burner. The spaciousness and warmth of the property contribute to its comfort.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the jukebox. However, there are several comments about maintenance issues such as broken dishwasher rollers, non-working lightbulbs, and heating glitches, which slightly lower the score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of Christmas decorations and a welcome pack, which are much appreciated by guests. While such gestures are mentioned positively, it is noted that these are not guaranteed for every stay.

Very comfortable in a beautiful setting. Property was as described or better. We were there with three small children and it was well set up for kids. Nice large garden.

The house is decorated beautifully, the kitchen is very well equipped and we loved staying there. It has everything you need for a super comfortable stay. The jukebox is a great quirky addition, beds are really comfy, stove is great to relax by and the garden is great too. Just one small point - pls consider leaving some coffee pods and a few logs to get started. We borrowed the owners teapot as we couldn't find one in the cupboards

She was well impressed by kitchen facilities and equipment . The Jukebox was a great success . It was a shame there were not a few logs for the log burner , but a great cottage in an area we wanted to visit .
