“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.

“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.

“comfortable” comfortable house. fantastic access to a large enclosed garden made it perfect for us as we have young children. location great just 3 miles from the lovely beach at almouth and 3 miles or so from alnwick. We liked it so much we intend booking it again for Summer 2011!

“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.

“Excellent” Roomy, very clean and lovely rural location. Definatley recommend.

“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

“fanastic accomodation and situated in a good place.” We recieved good service from the start. The house was well equiped, clean, comfortable,warm, and generally good all round. The gardens were nice and decent sized for the kids to play in. When we first arrived we felt like the house was in a unlikely posistion but it turned out to be a good central base. it was nice to be able have things in walking distance, such as the shop and the beach. There was ample space for a family and it also felt quite homly. The thing we liked best was the two living areas, the two batrooms and the comfortable beds. It probably would of been better if the garden had of been fenced in but it wasn't really a problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and we would love to go back again.

“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.

“Best Holiday In Years!” The Granary is a cottage to fall in love with. From the moment you drive through the gates, to discovering and falling for this sumptuously appointed and spacious holiday home, to waving goodbye and wishing you didn't have to, I cannot rate it highly enough. For a couple or small family it is just superb and my fiance and I only wish we could have stayed there during the summer months to enjoy the patio etc fully. The bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms particularly are as if brand new, simply stunning and near faultless, the 2 power showers excellent, although the shower cubicle base did fill up to the limit within about ten minutes for those who like me enjoy a longer shower! But the over bath shower next door was of the same type and did not suffer this minor problem. Great tiles, mirrors, lighting, heated towel rails, etc etc. Kitchen utility area and downstairs toilet beyond it are a real bonus and all so well presented you felt pampered. Fully equipped kitchen, only gripes were tin opener wasn't working and no egg cups, I defy you to find any others! The sunsets from the large kitchen cartwheel window were beautiful and provided some lovely snaps of my car. The plentiful books/crosswords/Dvds/CDs/games were a nice touch and added to our holiday, as did Hamish, the friendly doorstop dog! Comfy beds, although we found the 2 seater sofa of only average comfort, a bit slidey and needed a throw. Enjoyed the candles and woodburner and melting pleasantly even during the cold spell, plenty of wood and coal supplied for a week. Central heating superb although smoke alarm annoyingly activated whenever grilled anything. Lots of places to visit in all directions, Alnwick, Berwick, Morpeth, Rothbury, Coast, what more do you want? The owners were very cheerful and helpful although they were in process of moving out. We were greeted by the new owners who we also found friendly. Ah, the memories. Best holiday in years!!!

“A lovely holiday in a lovely property.” The Red Barn is very clean and comfortable and had everything you could want to make your stay there a really enjoyable experience. We thought the wine, cake and flowers made a lovely welcoming start to our holiday.

“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.

“Wonderful Family Break” Had a lovely week at the cottage in august. Thank you very much x

“Cosy and relaxing” Newly baked scones, homemade jam and tea things are laid ready on the table to welcome guests. The cottage is very well appointed and the decor is excellent but not overstated. There is a good shop in Otterburn, only 2 miles away, where you can get newspapers and all basic food requirements. About 10 miles away there is an excellent Farm Shop at Wallington Hall. Elsdon is a good centre from which to visit the whole of Northumberland and the border towns in Scotland, but for those more active visitors there are good walks nearby. Newcastle with all its amenities is only a 30 minute drive away. This is a really lovely place to stay; if I must find something not quite perfect it is the lack of a walk-in shower, but that's just my personal preference.

“Comfortable” We enjoyed our week in the cottage. It was a good base from which to explore Northumberland.

“lovely cottage” we had a great time in lesbury the cottage was first class and the owner called to welcome us soon after we arrived,she was very helpful informative on the area and things to do

“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.
