Snaptrip says
Hayloft Cottage in Northumberland receives high praise for its excellent standard of accommodation, pet-friendly environment, and superb location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, cosy atmosphere, and enclosed garden ideal for dogs. The welcome pack is frequently mentioned as a delightful touch. Some minor issues were noted but seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally well-presented and clean. However, one review mentioned the absence of mattress and pillow protectors, which suggests room for improvement in cleanliness standards.
The location is consistently described as great, with lovely walks into Bamburgh and a quiet area that provides a haven from crowds. The clear skies for stargazing and proximity to the Northumberland coast are also appreciated.
Guests find the property comfortable and cosy, with a warm atmosphere and adequate equipment. The enclosed garden adds to the comfort for pet owners. One guest suggested a more powerful shower would improve comfort.
While the property is praised for its good facilities, including a tennis court and table tennis, there is a mention of dissatisfaction with the hot tub access, suggesting a need for better maintenance or management of shared facilities.
The welcome pack is highlighted as outstanding and top quality, contributing to the thoughtfulness of the hosts. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
