  The Vault house is in a great location with all local amenities on your doorstep.

  The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and even our dog was treated. The property was spotless and the decor and furniture was of a high standard. The beds were very comfortable with good quality linen and pillows. The outside area was a great addition and fantastic for families, BBQ’s and guests with dogs. We have a couple of negative points being when we stayed the weather was very good and the property gets warm. The bedroom window opens up onto a gangway at the side of the house which we was not happy leaving it open while sleeping. A couple of fans in the property would probably resolve this issue. The last point was more of an inconvenience than a negative as the outside area cannot be accessed directly from the property so you have to go out the back door onto the side street to enter from the side gate. This meant locking up every time we went to the garden. Like I said it’s an inconvenience more than anything else. I would definitely recommend the Vault House to anyone looking for a relaxing break that is in a great location to explore the wonders of Northumberland.

  Lovely cottage and location with very spacious property.

  Well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms and sitting room with helpful folder on local attractions and facilities on site. As part of an old manor estate, there were some signs of aged plaster and decor that ought to be addressed over time. On the minus side the biggest issue was that in a cold March - it was not a warm propert. Whilst it did have central heating in all the rooms the radiator valves were preset and could not be changed so no independent control of the hearing. Unfortunately a few of the radiators including the main bedroom and lounge were in need of bleeding or degunging as the heat did not pass through them leaving the rooms cold. Whilst there was a lovely wood burning stove in the dining kitchen there was only one armchair in this room so this was the only independent source of heat. Also the free sat to or box in the lounge was not working so could not be used. Both unfortunately took away on the comfort and expectations score from what otherwise was a great cottage.

  A nice property, but some issues that could be easily addressed.

  The unusual room layout means that light from the kitchen floods in to the Vault bedroom due to a high window on the shared wall. Not good if you go to bed before others. Blackout blinds would help. The vault door itself lets through a surprising amount of sound, some carefully placed insulation would help here. The initial impression is of a decent level of cleanliness, but if you pull out a bedside unit to retrieve a dropped ring as I did this level does not extend far. This issue was apparent elsewhere in the house, a deep clean is needed. The dining chairs are in a poor condition, basically starting to fall apart. This needs attention, for safety reasons if nothing else. Although it didn't impact us, the radiators in the living room urgently need securing. The wall brackets for them have been incorrectly fitted and they would come away from the wall easily.

  The Vault House is great.

  It is a first floor conversion of a former bank. The vault room bedroom is very cool, as is the safe that has been turned into a book/games case. Bellingham is a good base with plenty of amenities on the doorstep. The beds were comfy and the conversion has been done really well. Slight negatives were the dirtiness under the sofas (we had a young child with us, whose toys we had to wash anytime they rolled underneath) and the noise from the flat above on Fri/Sat/Sun when they were playing dance music.

  The host and the accommodation is lovely and a great spot for accessing the beautiful local scenery while also having all amenities right on your doorstep.

  There are a couple of suggestions I’d make which may only be noticed once you’re living in the accommodation. For example I think the bathroom, with the bath/shower over could do with a shower curtain in that window (that could be pulled back when not in use). People do walk up the alleyway outside and water damage to the tiling on the windowsill will happen in time as water collects there. A great stay, the garden is a great added surprise. Thank you
