“Always tempting to give poor feedback when you find a gem so that you can still manage to book it for yourself.”
However, my stay at Dorothy Cottage was just what I needed after a very taxing 4 years. I needed peace and comfort to recover from the illness and subsequent death of my husband. That is exactly what I got at this cottage. The facilities were great, the cottage was comfortable and warm. Even though it is situated on a working farm, there was no real noise of machinery, etc. Dorothy, herself, was extremely welcoming and I was invited to the farmhouse for coffee if I found being in the cottage on my own a little lonely. So many great places to visit - turn right for the coast, straight on for Barter Books and Alnwick, turn left for the coastal route to Warkworth and Amble (and the best fish and chip shop). M&S Food Hall about 6 miles away very handily placed to stock up. On the whole, one of the best holidays I have had - reading, eating, sleeping and walking on the beautiful beach at Alnmouth. A chance to re-visit places I remembered from my childhood. Thank you, Dorothy and Brian (and Catherine) for letting people enjoy your beautiful cottages and surroundings and for being so welcoming and helpful. I will see you again soon!!!
