Phillipa Blackford
Had a lovely week staying at this property. Central to lots of great places to visit. Locals were extremely friendly and chatty. The golf course at the back of the property was fantastic for the dogs.Well stocked local co-op which made shopping for essentials very easy.Well appointed property with good layout, downstairs bedrooms and bathroom were great for my family as one has restricted mobility. Only negative which is minor really was the lack of plug sockets in the living room.On arrival there were additional rules about where the dogs could and couldn't go in the house which were not clear at time of booking. More dog tolerant than dog friendly.

A beautiful house and a great location with the local Belford amenities and ideally placed for exploring the fantastic coastline of Bamburgh and beyond.Dog friendly with all hard floors downstairs and a fully enclosed garden for peace of mind. Lots of places on the doorstep to walk our dog as well.We enjoyed the Sunnyhills Farm Cafe/Shop for Sunday lunch and for their cakes with coffee. We also loved The Walled Garden Cafe in Bamburgh.All in all The Bunker was very well equipped indeed for our 2 weeks holiday, perhaps only needing some towel hooks in the shower rooms and curtains to the patio doors for brightening our evenings spent in.A really lovely place - we enjoyed our stay immensely.
