Well equipped and nicely decorated. So peaceful and relaxing. I'm a regular visitor to the area and this was perfectly situated for exploring the beautiful beaches, castles and towns. The dog loved the garden, especially the toys! I loved it so much I was going to book again ( which is a first for me!) but sadly it's already booked up

Clean, well equipped and the log burner was great during storm Bert.The owner came up to welcome me and check I had everything I needed. Lovely views across the valley, including steam trains making their way up the east coast main line in the distance. Lovely walk along the lanes to Lucker village and its bonny little church. Bamburgh beach and castle - absolutely stunning. Will be booking again in the new year.
