“Far from the Madding Crowd” Our time at Barmoor Ridge was filled with wonderful walks, beautiful scenery, lovely accommodation and helpfulness from the owners of the cottage. The cottage is ideally situated for: visits to the coast - picking our way over some of the best shores we have ever walked; treking over the Cheviot Hills with a wonderful backdrop of fields and woodlands; visiting the border towns of Scotalnd which offer so much charm; or for just lazing around, reading or having a nap in such lovely quiet surrounds, interrupted only by the odd tractor, bird song or the bleat of a lamb. The couple who own the property are very warm and friendly people. A welcome pack was there on arrival and had all the right things.

“best holiday home ever” The service was excellent, The home was really home from home, beautiful, clean, and very quiet, and safe for our little dog. The location was lovely, and all the amenities were just about a mile away. We liked everything about our holiday. the home, location,and lovely scenery.

“Lovely stay” Lovely flat in a great location. The flat was comfotable and had everything we needed. The beach was very close by. Beadnell is small but had a shop, a pub, restaurant and a fish and chip shop. There are plenty of places to visit nearby especially if you like castles. The only thing that could have made it better was the weather.

“Cosy Nook - great value and good location” Lovely house, great value near centre of alnwick. Plenty of space, bedrooms and bathroom all excellent. Only criticism of house would be that some new utensils and pans are needed in the kitchen. Otherwise, a really good place to take my children.

“Would really enjoy another stay, comfortable and convenient.” This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in and fulfilled all our needs. We had oour 11 year Grandson with us so the location was excellent giving him freedom and safety. There was plenty of space in the cottage, so many are cramped. I would no recommend this to people who are unable to go out most of the time as there is no view and at times the smell of fish and chips does invade the property. Suited us perfectly on that occasion.

“A peaceful home from home.” Dune View is a lovely home to spend a peaceful week in wonderful Beadnell. Plenty of space for a family of six, we were a couple though. Everything you could possibly need is in the cottage. We were very comfortable there. Beadnell is a quiet place but The Craster arms pub and Beadnell Towers Hotel are both very good for an evening out and serve very good food.The best thing about the cottage is the close proximity to the glorious beach and small harbour.It is also well placed to visit al the attractions of the northern half of Northumberland.

“great cottage!” We have been twice to fishermans cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, its clean well presented and close to everything. It wont be our last stay there either, The photo doesnt do it justice as they have new windows etc now and has everything you need. We love it.

“Great cottage, Great location, Great weather” We stayed at Lyndhurst cottage for a week in June,and had a wonderful holiday,the weather was perfect,the cottage was perfect the location was perfect,what more could you ask for.We were suprised with how much there was to do and see we will have to go back again to see the things we have missed and we will be staying at Lyndhurst Cottage

“cottage with character in quiet and peaceful setting” We enjoyed the views from this cottage, and use of the tennis court/playing field. It made a good base for exploring the area around alnwick and the beautiful beaches.

“Fabulous Cottage” Shepherds Nook is a fabulously appointed, warm, cosy, well equipped and beautifully maintained cottage. It was totally conducive with relaxation and felt like a home from home right away.

“Lovely homely cottage; great place to chillax.” Great base for exploring Northumbria. Cottage is really cosy, spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

“First class accomodation in a beautiful area with lots to do.” The Farm House is a high standard with a secure garden for children there is lots to do in the area and I would recomend this property to any age group there is lots of space in the house.I stayed there with some of my grandchildren between the ages of 4-9yrs.

“A relaxing winter break in very peaceful surroundings” We appreciated the individual & tastefully decorated interior of this cottage. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the situation was perfect for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast.

“Great place, shame about the rain” We had a great week in Coldstream, the week of Flodden Field celebrations including torchlit procession and fireworks, lots of pipers, etc. Walks in the Hirsel Estate very calming and great trips around local towns and to the coast. A relatively easy drive to Edinburgh on our one sunny day. Facilities and layout very handy, especially for us - family of four with single friend who didn't need to be involved in all the squalor of family life. Rain among the most torrential we've ever seen and the river flooded at the end of the drive - all good fun as long as you don't get too hung up about it.

“Peace and joy” A lovely cottage with excellent facilities in the heart of Northumberland - owned and operated by a local farmer who is always at hand to support your stay. Bright and airy in a converted barn with a lovely kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. walks aplenty on the doorstep and convenient for all northern parts of this wonderful county.

“Lovely, very good” Very good location, nice hosts. The cottage was well fitted out, good facilities, clean. Loved the bedroom being upstairs, was really cute. The hosts were really good and nice.

“Great quiet location - with noisy floorboards!” This is a lovely cottage situated in the grounds of an old courtyard. It's really lovely and quiet, and it provides easy access to the coast both in Scotland and England. There's some lovely quiet roads around, and an amazing pub in nearby Paxton. The only slight issue I had with the place was the noisy floorboards. If you needed to get up to the loo in the night it was impossible not to awaken the other half ;-)

“a relaxing holiday at your own pace” An excellent very comfortable cottage with all the facilities needed for a quiet get away from it all holiday,great walks and for an evening out for great food you must visit the nearby allanton inn.Our hosts were helpful without being intrusive. It may be off the beaten track but our sat nav found it no problem . All in all a very relaxing time which is what we wanted ,already thinking of going back

“A wonderful retreat!” We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Coach House.There was a cake awaiting our arrival! The owners were very helpful when a small problem arose and were on to fixing it straight away. The house is in a very quiet area with lovely surroundings. The coast is not too far away with lovely beaches and walks.We loved being there and enjoying the quietness.

“great holiday” Had a fabulous week in cheviot view. Lovely Cosy cottage. Beautiful place . Great location. Fabulous walks and nice dog friendly pub nearby.

“Clean comfy cottage” The cottage was comfortable, clean and compact. The kitchen was well equipped and the owner had kindly left bread, milk, eggs and tea bags. We really enjoyed our stay as it was near many tourist attractions...the Farne Islands, Lindisfarne, Bamburgh Castle to name but three.

“fantastic cottage and location” The hosts were very welcoming and a lovely welcome hamper with goodies. The hoe was spacious and nicely decorated throughout. Inside was suitable for person in wheelchair to get around- however steps up to property. downstair bathroom with shower (not level access)wonderful patio doors on to the decking area at the back of the house overlooking out onto the fields and garden. Lovely kitchen / dining area. Upstairs rooms spacious and again well presented. Downside was the mattresses in the rooms apart from main bedroom were not of good quality. The gardens and games area were a big bonus. Local pub food not great. Good location for exploring surrounding area and nice to come back to a warm house. Had a great time and would go back again.

“A friendly welcome.” A cosy and well equipped cottage where we were met by the owner who explained all that we needed to know about the property in a friendly and welcoming manner. The location just suited us as we have a young child who loves time on the beach as well as visiting historic sites.
