Enjoyed my stay and was so peaceful. Lovely house and hosts were so friendly. The only thing I would say is the edges between doors were a bit inconvenient as a few of the guests stumped their toes and was painful. Still thoroughly enjoyed my stay and definitely would go back.

As a three generation group of 9 we all had a fantastic holiday in this house.
As a three generation group of 9 we all had a fantastic holiday in this house. There was loads of room for children to play, a dog friendly garden and a very well equipped Kitchen. The hot tub was an added bonus which was used by all.There was plenty to keep children occupied between Berwick and Bamburugh, lovely sandy beaches, great children’s pottery and excellent leisure centre in Berwick.
