And so much space. Just a little point, there was no leaflet explaining the appliances or how to operate the heating although when we had juggled about with it and got it working was extremely efficient. Plenty of cupboard space in the kitchen and a wonderfully large fridge and freezer.The 2 walk in showers were lovely and the bed was large and very comfortable. In the kitchen the owners had even provided some washing up gloves but a dish drainer would have been nice as it was always a bit messy to have drain the dishes directly on the unit. All in all I was very impressed with everything. But no visitors book to make our comments! I would certainly recommend this property .

One or two things need to be addressed to make the stay perfect. There is no information pack to show how to use the fire, the hob(which we couldnât use), instructions for the heating timer, and bin collection information. The welcome pack could have been better with fresh milk provided. Unfortunately when we arrived, before we let our dog into the back, I discovered that the space had not been cleared of doggie âdeposits â . Very disappointed by that. Would have been good if the parking posts could be lowered . We enjoyed our stay and will look forward to staying again next time we visit Bamburgh.
