Claire
The beds are lovely and comfortable, as are the sofas. The house is in a lovely quiet location and enabled us to explore the area well. It was so nice to be able to walk along the coastal path and through the woods to Hauxley Nature Reserve. We also enjoyed a kayak expedition on the River Coquet and a delightful boat trip out to see the seals at Coquet Island. When we had a slight maintenance issue, we were very impressed by the speedy response from the owners, who addressed the problem on the same day.

Feels beautifully remote but also has the advantage that Morrison's is only 5 mins away so dashing out for things we'd forgotten was no problem! Should just mention that one side of the cot was broken & wouldn't lock upright - was OK for our baby but an older one could have climbed out fairly easily so not ideal

It is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the extension which is light and airy. It is very quiet and we could hear the sea and the birds every morning. The small outside area just needs a bit of TLC to make it more inviting to use. I have already recommended it to my daughter as a good place for her family.
