Heather Cottages - Grayling is highly praised for its stunning location with easy access to beautiful beaches and peaceful surroundings. Guests appreciate the cosy and well-equipped cottage, especially the log burner and the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. While most found the property clean and comfortable, there were minor concerns about internet connectivity and bed comfort.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently noted the property as very clean and tidy upon arrival, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is described as amazing, with magnificent views and proximity to quiet beaches and wildlife, making it perfect for beach walks.
The cottage is generally found to be cosy and comfortable. However, there were comments about the double bed's comfort and the bathroom's temperature, which suggests room for improvement.
The property is well-equipped with quality appliances and a generous supply of wood for the burner. The mention of internet issues indicates a slight deduction in the facilities score.
The provision of a welcome pack and ample fire-starting materials reflects thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.

Lovely welcome pack & generous start-up supply of wood, kindling & firelighters for the log burner. We choose to cook whilst away so we're delighted with the thoughtful utensils provided & good stock of crockery. On a personal note, we found the double bed to be small, squishy & not comfortable, one of us having to move to a much firmer single to avoid a bad back. It would seem March was particularly cold this year, the bathroom was freezing & despite the wall heater miserable to use. BUT, big bath sheets which was a lovely bonus. Can't fault the location & we miss the views & our beach already.

Exact what we were looking for. Clean and well equipped. Stunning views. Sadly the internet failed, this was not the fault of the property owner and the maintenance team tried their best. The only other slight inconvenience was no salt. I hadnât thought I would need to bring some but no salt and pepper was provided. We had an amazing holiday and certainly are planning a return trip. We did appreciate the welcome pack, a nice touch!

Beautiful clean quiet beaches Cosy cottage, especially with the log burner. We did our shopping in Alnwick before arriving so didn't have the hassle during the week. We walked to Bamburgh twice along the beach as it was so beautiful and relaxing.
