I came up for some peace and quiet while I wrote for my PhD with some coast and fun for the chill time. The cottage is lovely and has all the comforts of home. The layout works brilliantly and there is everything there you could need - kitchen was really well outfitted for everything from a snack to a full on meal. I loved curling up in the chair to read of an evening. Everything was super clean and welcoming. Catherine was a fantastic host and on hand if I needed anything. Honestly I cannot recommend this lovely hideaway enough, you can see the sea from the sofa and wake up to bird song; its a perfect and peaceful retreat. Its close to lots of walks and other villages which is great for days or evenings out. I'd love to come back and enjoy again.

A very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Very comfortable and clean in a wonderful area of Northumberland. A great place to explore all areas from. The views from the living room were amazing. Would have stayed longer if we could. Highly recommend this cottage or any of the Bilton barns places. Thank you.
