Snaptrip says
The Duchess is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and spaciousness, ideal for large groups and pet-friendly. Its proximity to Bamburgh and stunning views add to its charm. While there were some maintenance issues and disappointments, the overall experience was enjoyed, with special mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the luxury of two dishwashers.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently describe the property as clean, modern, and well-kept, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted as fabulous and idyllic, within walking distance to Bamburgh, contributing to a high score.
Guests found the property spacious and comfortable, with comfy beds and ample room for large groups, though there was a mention of insufficient hot water for all guests.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen amenities and dishwashers, but points were deducted for maintenance issues like the sealed French door, non-functional smoke detectors, and poor internet connection.
While guests appreciated the welcome pack and Christmas tree, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures across all stays, so this score is set to null.

A stunning location. Fantastic property with all the facilities you need for a group of up to eight. Also dog friendly. We had a fabulous time and will look to return in the future. Its only a short walk into Bamburgh, so thats a rwal bonus. We the family cannot recommend this property (The Duchess) any higher. Thank you for a lovely break in a wonderful location.
