Has a fabulous week at the cottage. The perfect escape to relax and wind down. The garden was perfect for the dog and she loved looking over the wall at the sheep and passing farm vehicles. Within a short walking distance to the beach and some lovely coastal walks. Couldn't fault anything and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful location, near the beach and coast path. Good place to completely unwind. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the bungalow is with large rooms and comfortable beds. Dog friendly with large enclosed garden. Hosts friendly and helpful. Pub has nice terrace over the beach and good food, but closes early.

Perfect location, comfortable accommodation, spacious enclosed garden if you have a dog with you. Great for heading onto the beach or as a central location for heading out across Northumberland. Nearby pub overlooks the beach but dogs only allowed outside.
