Everything in the property was great quality, and perfect for one person or a couple. There were nice touches like bread, milk and butter, biscuits etc left. I was confused that there was a two ringed cooker but no pots, or maybe I missed them? It did have a full sized oven and microwave so not really an issue. There was a little seating area outside for eating, or enjoying a morning cuppa. The bed was very comfy, the only thing I didnt like was that there was nothing to open the windows with and I was too short to open them or close the blinds, it was a very warm week so would have been good to get some air. I also was unsure what to do with the rubbish, I didn't see anywhere to empty the bin? The village of Lesbury is beautiful, has a lovely pub, a welcoming local shop (steak pie was amazing) and is in very close proximity to Alnmouth train station and the X18/20 bus stop was just next to property. There is also a Morrisons next to the bus station in Alnwick for supplies. There are loads of lovely walking routes and cycle paths, only a 15/20 mins walk into Alnmouth which has a beautiful beach and it's a haven for bird watching. I would definitely recommend Warkworth Castle which is only 4 miles away. I loved the area and will be back again in the near future, possibly with friends.

Very comfortable bed with nice linen. Quiet situation. The only criticism would be that for some strange reason the hot water did not work between 23:00 and 07:00. The only natural light in the entire place was 2 Velux roof windows and these had obviously not been cleaned for many months. This was surprising as they are very easy to clean so there can be no excuses.
