Jenny
Immaculately clean, comfy, v high quality fixtures and furnishings, decked out with literally anything you could possibly need. Even had a bag of chargers and adaptors! Welcome cake, sausages and bacon, milk. Super helpful owners, attentive and always on hand to assist with any questions. Stunning garden and general location, not overlooked so felt private. Cannot fault and will definitely return. As a family with young children, it was perfect for us. Thank you Terry and Lesley

It was spotlessly clean and had everything possible to ensure our visit was comfortable and totally enjoyable. Lesley and Terry had kindly put up a Christmas tree and some decorations so it was like home from home the minute we opened the front door. There was really nothing more we could have asked for. It's also a beautiful area. We spent time in Alnwick, Warkworth, Amble, Craster and Embleton. All within easy reach. Top marks all round.
