Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean, with only a couple of isolated comments about minor cleaning issues. The overall impression is that the property is well-maintained in terms of cleanliness.
The location is consistently described as great or superb, with easy access to Bamburgh and the Northumberland coast. The idyllic setting and proximity to attractions are frequently mentioned positives.
Guests report the cottage as comfortable, with spacious indoor and outdoor areas, comfortable beds, and a warm conservatory. The property suits extended families well, contributing to a comfortable stay.
Facilities like the hot tub, conservatory, and play areas are well-received. However, there are comments about the hot tub not working properly, Wi-Fi issues, and some dated fixtures, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
Guests mention a welcome hamper and the provision of logs for the burner, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there are only a few mentions, the score reflects this uncertainty.

The property was well equipped and decorated to a high standard. The location is idyllic and perfect for walking into Bamburgh. It was perfect for our family gathering.

Barn cottage is a superb facility. It has a fabulous location set in fantastic Northumberland countryside. There are outside areas such as the fibreglass pods to sit in as well as hot tub, BBQ areas and a play/grass area for children. The conservatory is an added bonus too. Log burner with plenty of logs to burn came in handy for the cold nights.
