Lovely clean bungalow, great location.

We had a lovely stay at Ariel House. The bungalow was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Location was great, a short easy stroll down to the harbour and little beach. Also easy to drive to many different places of interest. Barbara was very easy to contact and very helpful. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

Great place

Place was clean and beautifully furnished, had pretty much everything we needed. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the information pack was very useful. I had an issue with the heating (totally user-error) and Barbara responded to me very quickly. The house is ideally located for touring round Northumberland.
