Reviews

A fabulous house in a fabulous location, dog friendly, peaceful and off the beaten track. Wonderful views of hills, open country and the coast.

Mrs M,

Fabulous cottage for our big family and two dogs. Really spacious and comfy, easy access to the A1 but still tranquil and with beautiful views. We really enjoyed our stay.

Mrs K,

A top quality Cottage which offers a real wow factor. In addition, the location offers wonderful views towards Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands. A gem of a property.

Mr I,

Lovely cottage, it housed 7 adults and a baby very comfortably. Well positioned to visit the Northumberland coast, and conveniently placed not far from the A1 for good access. Quiet location with several walks from the door.

Mrs B,

We loved this house! It was spacious and quiet, with a fabulous view over towards the sea. We were 3 generations or our family and it suited us all. It's so well placed for visiting places - the coast, Bambrugh, Lindisfarne, Alnwick, Cragside.... the list goes on.

Mrs N,

Lovely peaceful cottage, we love to get away from it all and the Barns does that wonderfully!

Mr C,

Beautiful Cottage, beautiful location, comfortable home from home. Highly recommend!!

Mrs L,

Great location just off the A1 with plenty of parking. The accommodation is nice and spacious with plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Some rooms could do with a good clean but it was a good sized property for two families of four

Mr T,
