St Cuthbert's Cottage

This was our second stay at St Cuthberts Cottage.

Well equipped and very comfortable especially in the evening after a long day touring . Highly recommend and looking to book another stay next Summer.

A Wonderful Stay at St Cuthbert's Cottage We had a fantastic stay at St Cuthbert's Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

The hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The cottage itself is a true home from home, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The décor is beautifully done, combining comfort with tasteful luxury touches that make it feel extra special. One of our favourite parts of the stay was enjoying the wonderful wildlife right outside the kitchen window. We regularly spotted hares, swallows and deer, which made every breakfast and morning coffee feel that little bit more magical. The location is perfect for exploring the Northumberland coast and surrounding area. It's an ideal base for visiting Berwick-upon-Tweed, Lindisfarne, Seahouses, Alnwick, Newton-by-the-Sea and Bamburgh, all within easy reach. Overall, St Cuthbert's Cottage exceeded our expectations. Beautiful accommodation, wonderful hosts, peaceful surroundings and an excellent location - what more could you ask for? A well-deserved 5 stars!

What a fantastic place to stay the cottage is very spacious and has everything you need for a place to stay and explore the surrounding area.

The owners wer very friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was okay.

The property is lovely and well maintained.

We have been going there for several years now. The only problem is that the bathroom is downstairs and the stairs themselves have 2 twists on them. We are in our 70s and managing the stairs in the middle of the night is tricky! But - the owner is really lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is immaculately clean, and we hope to go there in future. The garden is a joy, full of seating and flowers. Weather cannot be 'starred'! This is England!

We loved the cottage, it had everything we needed and was a great base for exploring the numerous places in Northumberland we wanted to visit.

Lovely cottage beautifully decorated and furnished, Mrs Bell the owner is a very nice lady friendly and helpful, the outside space is lovely with lots of seating in different areas and lots of flowers.

The only negative for us is the lack of a toilet upstairs, if there was one it would be 5 ⭐️ all the way

This was our second visit to St Cuthberts and we loved it as much as the first visit last year.

The house is perfectly located for exploring the north Northumberland area. It is well maintained and comfortable, and the owner, Marjorie, is very welcoming.

What an amazing cottage, from the moment we walked in it felt like home.

. so we'll equipped cannot thing of anything else it needed. Really nicely decorated throughout. Outside was so well thought our, table and chairs on the decking that is a real sun trap in the evening. Best part of the garden is the summerhouse with a 3 seater sofa and 2 chairs, we spent a lot of time in their. The cottage is very close the the main railway track you don't really hear them when inside but you do feel them. Mrs Bell came to say hello on Saturday evening, what a lovely lady, recommended several places to visit. We will definitely return to the cottage.

The cottage has absolutely everything you could need for a home from home holiday, and has been lovingly maintained.

It is well located, close to beaches, attractions and lots of beautiful towns and villages. Marjorie was very welcoming, happy to tell us all about the local area, and recommending places to visit. Overall, we couldn’t have found a better place to stay for our break away, and I can highly recommend the cottage for anyone looking to explore this area of Northumberland.

The property was very clean and comfortable , the only down sign for me personally was the downstairs bathroom .

A beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious.

The best equipped accommodation I have ever stayed in. Everything you could possibly need to self cater had been provided. The sofas and beds are very comfortable and every window has a lovely view. I received a warm welcome from the owner and she also came to say goodbye and make sure we'd had an enjoyable stay. The location is perfect for a quiet stay, whilst still being easily accessible to all the beautiful sights of Northumberland and beyond. I thoroughly recommend St Cuthbert's cottage and hope to be able to stay again in the future.

Great location for Holy Island and the A1.

A big bonus was the accessibility to Berwick and the trains, the beautiful countryside, the coastline and local landmarks. The accommodation was very well maintained, comfortable and well equipped.

We loved the cottage , it’s location was brilliant for us so close to Holy island and the rail track , the outside of the property was really good plenty of space table and chairs allowed us to sit out when weather permitting plus it had a lovely summer room very pleasant .

Berwick upon Tweed 15 minutes by car , easy parking at the cottage with private spaces . Marjorie our host for the week left a welcome pack very nice touch , the bed was very comfortable and clean , good countryside views from the cottage , yes it’s close to the railway but we loved seeing and hearing the trains not intrusive for us , met Marjorie she was a lovely lady suggested places we might wish to visit . Thank you Marjorie see you next year Kim and Jonathan

We were really happy with our accommodation, everything provided for our stay.

Especially a big thank you to Marjorie who helped us enormously & promptly with a heating issue. We would be very happy to return.

Lovely cottage in excellent location for exploring and very relaxing after a day’s exertions.

St Cuthbert's cottage is a 10 of 10 for us.

It is set in the most beautiful scenery. The cottage is very well equipped. Every room in the cottage is very comfy and beautifully decorated. We loved the summer house so much, we played games and drank wine while watching the stunning sun set. Marjorie, the owner made us feel very welcome in her home. It's a fabulous base to visit beaches and only 5 mins away from holy island. Our boys loved the outside space and loved watching the train and the spectacular views. The house was very clean when we arrived and is one of the best cottages we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many!! We would definitely return and would love stay here again. Thanks again Marjorie

Excellent cottage with peaceful views.

Trains can be heard but after half a day no problem. Good access to the beautiful countryside.

A lovely home from home!

The house was spotlessly clean and furnished so beautifully. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The summer house was a great bonus as we spent more time in there than in the lounge. We are sad to have left already and I am missing the peace and the views already.

Very cosy cottage with a pleasant outlook,noise from the railway not a problem,4 miles from holy island,pub nearby train station at Berwick gets you to Newcastle or Edinburgh about a hours journey,had a great time, Hopefully we will rebook in the future

We really enjoyed our holiday here.

The owner is especially welcoming and helpful. All the facilities are just as advertised and are very good. The only reason we gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the fact of the bathroom being downstairs.

What a lovely cottage, facilities were fantastic and very importantly the bed was really comfortable.

Immaculately decorated with everything you need for a great stay! The owner popped over to make sure we had everything and recommended a couple of places to visit which were well worth it!

Just that the state of the cottage is wonderful.

Very clean and comfortable. We will be back next year. It must be ideal for a family. Thanks Marjorie!

The cottage is ideally situated to visit numerous beautiful places in Northumberland including Holy Island, Bamburgh, Seahouses and the lovely Farne Islands and the village of Ford.

The cottage is a credit to the owners, comprising of everything you need for a comfortable break, we especially loved the summer house.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at St.

Cuthbert's cottage despite being next to level crossing. The trains passing by didn't spoil our stay at all but then again we love trains!! On arriving our host Marjorie was so helpful in recommending places of interest to visit in the area. Watching the amazing sunsets over the countryside from the summer house was fabulous. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything you'd need. It was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We didn't realise that the bathroom was downstairs until we arrived which was a little inconvenient but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this accommodation to friends and family if they were up that way.

As soon as we walked through the door we new we had picked a good one.

Probably the best cottage we've been in. Clean, comfortable and well furnished. The view from the kitchen window across the fields was beautiful with some amazing birdlife. The summer house was a really comfortable with the same great views over the fields. For me as a railway enthusiast, the passing trains were a bonus. You soon get used to them. All the main tourist places are within easy reach. the boat trip to the Farne Islands was a particular favourite as was Bamburgh. We can highly recommend this property. We hope to be back in the near future.

We had a very enjoyable week's holiday in this cottage.

It was comfortable and had all the necessary facilities etc. The owner was very helpful and did all that she could to make our stay a good one. We would certainly consider going there again some time in the future.

Wonderful home from home, well cared and for very comfortable, the milk and biscuits which were there as we arrived were a very nice personal touch, the owner popped in to introduce herself and check everything was as we expected which was lovely and gave us the chance to thank her personally for the use of her wonderful cottage for the week.

Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Gosh, where to start!

Beautiful home in a lovely location. The owner, Marjorie was delightful and checked in to make sure we were settled in. We usually stay in old cottages for the rustic charm, however this time we chose a modern decorated cottage and it was beautiful. Everything you would need is there including the best breezy spot for hanging washing out! We tend to take our Tassimo coffee machine with us but spotted one already there in the photos of the kitchen. Perfect! We just took a supply of our coffee pods for it. The TV is also a Smart TV - just remember to sign out of your Netflix/Prime accounts when you leave. Bed is very comfortable (I always take my own pillow) and I can also vouch for one of the single beds which I slept in when workmen were working at the railway. Flashing van lights through into the bedroom from 11pm, so I slept in the other room. As noted, the property is next to a main railway line so you have to expect trains coming through every five minutes, even late at night. You really do get used to them quickly - even the high speed ones that shake the house. Do NOT let this put you off, honestly you tend to forget them. Plenty of outside spots to sit in and the summer house is divine! Watching the rabbits and birds in the field is very relaxing and you can sit in the summer house when it gets cooler in the evenings. Lots to see and do around the area including nearby Lindisfarne (Holy Island) about a mile away. We even popped to the Scottish Borders for a few historic abbeys along with days out to castles, Roman forts and Hadrians Wall. Highly recommend this property, you can tell the love the owners have for it. Thank you for letting out your beautiful property x

A very enjoyable stay in a very tastefully decorated home.

We were made very welcome by the owner, who informed us of some lovely places to visit.

Another lovely stay in this beautiful property!

Looking forward to our next visit, thank you!

Our home from home.

Marjorie is a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble The house is cozy and has everything you need for a family stay. We usually like to cook together and the kitchen is perfect for this, there are even cook books should you fancy trying a new recipe. Thanks for another lovely stay - See you soon x

Our 3rd stay at this cottage.

The changes made since we were there in October 2020 have made this even better. We'll definitely be back.

Absolutely stunning property, Outstanding area, with all amenities close by, This is what a holiday should be, So good we have already booked for next year

What's not to love about this property.

It is tastefully decorated and very clean. Close to many lovely beaches to walk and castles to explore. Lovely outside area and summerhouse for when the weather is favourable. Would definitely recommend this property and would not hesitate to return in the future.

Great cottage, very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed.

Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and nice living room with plenty of seating. The outside area of the cottage is wonderful with views across fields, lots of space, very handy parking and nice seating area on decking. The summerhouse is a very nice bonus. If you are looking to visit Holy Island (which was our main reason for visit) you cannot get a better location. The causeway to the island is about 2 minutes (max) drive away. We popped over to the Island several times during our stay. There is no denying that you will here the trains go by and they are very regular, but less so later at night and they didn't really bother us. It is very likely that we will stay again at some point in the future.

This was my second stay in the cottage which says it all really.

Clean, comfortable and homely. It was good to meet Marjorie who took the time to come over to introduce herself.

Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring the Northumberland coast.

Very well furnished and decorated with everything you need supplied and a friendly, helpful landlady who gave us a great recommendation for a day out. Only one bathroom which is downstairs, quite a walk in the night, but the excellent sturdy handrail on the stairs helped. The cottage is very close to the level crossing which means you see and hear the warning siren and trains quite a lot, but they never disturbed our sleep.

A lovely cottage, comfortable, clean and welcoming.

Marjorie was helpful with suggestions and obviously tended the cottage with love and care. The summerhouse was an added bonus and a great place to retreat for a quiet read. Northumberland as always did not disappoint. The cottage is situated centrally so all the great places to visit are easy to get to.

Lovely, clean and well equipped cottage in a lovely location.

The seating area is a gorgeous sun trap - we would definitely come back. We met our host and I she was very attentive. The trains are frequent and high speed. They didn't disturb my sleep but the longer, freight trains did occasionally wake my husband. Just to note the bathroom is downstairs which are a little steep - maybe worth a mention for anyone with mobility issues or for those of us with aching legs after long walks. The WiFi wasn't great but to be expected in rural locations. I had 4G on my phone.

My son and I have just returned from staying at the cottage.

It suited us well. (He is a train enthusiast). We found the surrounding area beautiful and we walked for miles. There is so much history in the area.

Absolutely beautiful cottage, attention to detail was amazing, and so comfortable.

In a prime location to go and explore local attractions.

Lovely well equipped and beautifully furnished and decorated cottage, couldn’t fault anything.

Perfect base to explore north Northumberland.

Nice cottage with all the mod cons and well looked after.

Plenty equipment and space to use including the garden room. Beautiful views. Friendly landlady who popped in to sort the issue with the heating.

We were very satisfied with this venue and enjoyed a comfortable holiday.

The property was exactly as described in the marketing information. Stuart and Joan Pringle

Beautiful cottage and scenery , beautifully furnished and everything you need , gorgeous summerhouse for anytime of day and evening… owner Marjorie came to say hi and that we were ok .

. wonderful time, already booked for next year

One of the cleanest, best equipped and most comfortable cottages I've ever stayed in.

The summerhouse is so cute and the garden attractive. The trains did not bother us!

We had a lovely time and the cottage was lovely too !

We had a great stay at St Cuthbert's cottage.

It had everything we needed, was nicely decorated, very clean and a lovely place to stay. It overlooked fields where we spotted quite a few hares. It is a great base for exploring the Northumberland coast and very easy access to Holy Island which is a must see. An easy walk to Barn at Beal for nice food, and a cafe that does good breakfasts in the opposite direction just off the A1. We visited Bamburg, Seahouses and did the boat trip to Farne Islands, Alnwick and a trip to Northumberland Zoo. Overall a wonderful stay.

We just loved everything about this cottage, yes the trains rattle your teeth lol but does not detract from the ambience of the location.

Great position for Holy Island visits and the barn at Beal just 10 mins walk away really added to our stay. The summer house is the icing on the cake and along with the beautiful decor really enhanced my holiday. Would love to visit again. Ps. It was lovely to meet the owners.

A excellent property, very nice decking area overlooking the fields, nice coffee/restaurant just up the road hope to return at some time.

Absolutely fantastic stay at st Cuthbert's cottage, has everything you need.

Summerhouses was amazing.

Because of the picture gallery I was wrongly under the impression that the view across from the house was directly to Holy Island rather than just something to see in the area.

I find that the reference to the nearness of the railway line was accurate but didn't make note of the frequency or speed of the high speed East Coast main line and the goods trains Marjorie was lovely and the milk and shortcake biscuits were a nice surprise. But I have to say that the nearness of the house to the road to the island and the train track would not bring me back to this property

Excellent accomadation.

Matching fittings. Lovely Garden and well stocked kitchen ware. Proximity to Holy Island and easy access to A1.

Very pretty cottage, both garden and interior decor.

Plenty of parking. Just by railway crossing which added interest but surprisingly little noise. Very quiet area, but facilities nearby, and easy access to Holy Island.

A beautiful cottage in a perfect location with a wonderful host!

Can't recommend high enough. We had a perfect family stay and cant wait to visit again. Thank you so much!!

The cottage is perfectly situated for Lindisfarne Island.

It is maintained to a very good standard the only real drawback is the noise from the trains but you do get used to it the longer you’re there.

We had a fabulous week.

The cottage was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly need was available, there was even an Alexa. Hand sanitizer and wipes were available for use. The hosts were friendly and very helpful, giving recommendations of places to visit. We were aware of the trains running throughout the day. Weekends tend to be pretty quiet with few trains, however Monday morning they began around 5.30am and were very frequent thereafter. It didn’t bother us too much, but obviously you do hear them. The cottage offers easy access to many beautiful places of interest including Holy Island, Bambugh and Seahouses. There is a pub/ restaurant less than a mile away. We would definitely return to this cottage in the future.

The cottage was lovely clean and very inviting, plenty of room to relax after a day off roaming the countryside, finding lots of thing to explore.

Out side you can sit on a decking and watch the sun go down with a glass or two ,there is also a sun house also ideal for sitting in if its a bit to cold to sit out side .At the bottom of the garden there is a small out house which has a small freezer in .Down the road about a 15 minute walk you will find the linderfarm pub which serves the most delicious food I have ever had booking a table is essential has it was always full. The cottage is the ideal place to stay not far to drive to see the sights. The only draw back is the toilet is down stairs and the trains that go passed very often from 6 am in the morning till 10.30 pm so take some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper ,but we got used to them by the end of our stay .

The photos on Sykes didn’t do St Cuthbert's cottage justice, the whole property has been renovated to a very high standard We had a great week

Lovely cottage, plenty of parking, had just been redecorated and was super clean.

Made good use of the garden deck area on the sunny days. Comfy beds, plenty of walking boot storage and coat hanging space. There is a freezer in the out house, which we used for our freezer blocks. Kitchen has everything you need. A quick 3 minute walk to The Barns cafe and restaurant which we made good use of! Easy access to the coast, Lindisfarne and Alnwick. We had a lovely stay thank you!!

Lovely cottage.

Newly refurbished. Comfortable. Lovely views. All the kitchen equipment we could have needed and more. Was next to a level crossing with a lot of trains, but this in no way diminished the location. Close to the Lindisfarne causeway and a wonderful cafe!

A well equipped and comfortable cottage, immaculate condition, with very helpful and friendly owners in an extremely scenic area of the country.

Great little cottage with easy access to Lindisfarne and the surrounding countryside.

Cottage is warm and cosy with a well equipped kitchen and comfy lounge. Noise and rumble from trains over in seconds and stopped overnight. Pleasant garden and good parking space beside cottage. Owner welcoming and happy to answer queries about the area. Altogether a great escape.

The cottage is in a very good location.

It's on its own which gives seclusion but it's still close to the A1 and local pub and garage/shop. Easy to find and super for visiting Lindisfarne and Berwick. Well appointed with everything you need for your holiday.

We enjoyed our week at St Cuthbert's Cottage in Beal.

The accommodation was spotless with everything we needed provided. It was cosy even when the wind blew outdoors. The field viewed from the kitchen window had regular visits from pheasants and on our last morning three roe deer were visible. It was ideally placed for Holy Island and other places of interest were easy to reach. As a keen birdwatcher it was lovely to have skeins of migrating geese flying over the house. The Barn at Beal was a short 10 minute walk away, or in the other direction the Lindisfarne Inn was one mile distant. It was quiet and peaceful and a great place to relax.

Couldn’t fault this cottage, even the trains didn’t bother us; the view was outstanding; facilities - everything we needed and more; warm and cosy; easy access; and first class for sightseeing - many thanks to the owner.

A lovely comfortable cottage with added bonus of a summerhouse for windy, chilly days.

Just one drawback, the loo and shower/bath was downstairs.

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed.

The owner Majorie had given us lots of reassurance about Covid and their cleaning policy. She had provided hand santiser and wipes for us to use whilst there during this uncertain time. The cottage is in a great location and is only a short drive down the road to Holy Island Lindisfarne. It is located close to Berwick-Upon-Tweed, along with Bmburgh, Alnwick, Morpeth and the surrounding areas including over the border to Scotland. We have stayed at the cottage previously and hope to return again in the future.

This cottage exceeded all of our expectations, it was immaculate, beautiful and well presented.

So you have patio seating with panoramic views of the Northumberland countryside, you have decking and then the summer house, I mean wow just wow sitting snuggled up in this tastefully decorated and richly furnished room each evening watching the stars relaxing with a glass of wine after days spent walking on holy island (which is literally five minutes away)..Kitchen was smashing with dishwasher and super quiet washing machine. Everything you needed from sugar to bin liners. Dining room excellent living room immaculate lots of very comfortable seating, cushions and throws, even more garden area to the front of the cottage .Bedrooms all spacious rooms plenty of storages, good quality immaculate bedding .there are three bedrooms the smallest we used as a dressing room but would be great as nursery. Bathroom was marvelous with large bath and the shower was excellent. The owner invited me to look at the cottage next door which has just been refurbished it is amazing, the owner is more than helpful and approachable and lives locally so is there for you should there be any issues. This cottage and the 2 bedroom cottage next door is an excellent base for any family or couple .Yes there is a level crossing yards away but you don't notice the trains after a short while. We loved it and would go back today, we were so sad to leave and will return asap. I cannot recommend this (these cottages) highly enough.

Fabulous Cottage in an great location just off the A1 5 minute drive from Holy Island 2 minute walk to nearest Cafe.

The Cottage itself had Stunning View over the hills from a well stocked garden with a decking area and an added bonus of a beautiful summerhouse. Inside the cottage it was instantly felt welcoming .large fully fitted kitchen ..dining area ..handy Cloakroom and luxury Bathroom with bath and separate shower. A large cosy living room with excellent TV and WiFi signal. Always had lots of hot water, heating if needed, loads of Towels and well stocked with kitchen items. Upstairs two lovely big bedrooms and a third smaller one, all with good quality mattress and bedding. The whole cottage is nicely furnished with every detail thought of to make your stay A happy one and ours was, after a day sightseeing all the local area has to offer it was lovely to come back to this charming cottage and feel at home. We would recommend to anyone a stay here and with the current Covid situation we felt Very Safe as it is Spotlessly clean And Santizier is left for you to use It's simply a Gem .. 5 Star Rating from us

Had a very pleasant stay in this little cottage by the level crossing on the Lindisfarne road; we enjoyed the trains rumbling by on their way to and from the north!

Super quiet setting in spite of the nearby railway.

Lovely to watch the trains thunder by. Very homely place. Well appointed and we had some nice touches left for us as it was Christmas. Very handy for Lindisfarne too.

only fault i could find was no upstairs bathroom, it was a trail downstairs if you needed to go through the night, otherwise excellent

A lovely, well furnished cottage.

Lots of home comforts made for a stress free stay. Lovely garden that was a sun trap even in the middle of October. Great location for tourist attractions. Nice walk down to the causeway for Holy Island which we did a couple of times in the evening to mitigate the effects of cake and chips! Trains past the level crossing are very regular but would say they’re a novelty rather than a nuisance.Would stay again.

Just that we had a wonderful time in an area we didn't know.

Our cottage was wonderful. Mr and Mrs Bell were wonderful hosts. Although situated next to the railway line it didn't bother us. It didn't operate at the weekend or through the night and we were out most of the day so it wasn't a problem.

WE thought that the should be a wc upstairsn as the bathroom is on the lower floor.

This point that the bathroom is n the lower floor needs to be listed. home was lovely

The cottage was lovely and quaint with a sunny terrace and sun room.

My children loved the proximity of the trains and would rush out to watch them speed past. It has a very rural outlook and watching the farmers work the fields was brilliant. The cottage has everything you could need and is really spacious. We found the stairs a bit tricky getting our suitcases up them because there are two turns on the steps. Also an upstairs toilet would have been great especially through the night with children. We didn’t think there was a freezer but we found one outside in the shed so warm G&T’s were averted. A lovely place to stay and highly recommend out of lots of places we have stayed at in Northumberland.

What a lovely and well kept cottage in a fantastic location for exploring Northumberland.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay and the views from the decking across open fields were awesome. We even saw deer in the field! Mrs Bell was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend St Cuthbert's Cottage. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Every part of our holiday was amazing.

This was mainly because of the excellent cottage. Everything we needed was there plus extras too. The standard in all areas could not be faulted! We must also commend our landlords who were friendly and very helpful Thank you Marjie and Phil. Hope we can come again sometime!

St Cuthbert’s Cottage was exceptionally clean and very cosy.

The hosts (Mr and Mrs Bell) were warm and welcoming. We loved the Summerhouse, it was the perfect spot to sit and relax after a days walking and sightseeing. The cottage is ideally located for easy access to the Northumberland coast, countryside and the surrounding towns. The trains run past frequently but caused no disturbance at all. Would highly recommend St Cuthbert’s Cottage.

A very beautiful, comfortable, spacious and clean holiday cottage with high cellings, magnificent views all around it and lots of garden space and flowers to walk around and enjoy.

Beautifully furnished outside building/Summer House for a quiet time. Very close to Holy Island and many other ammenities to visit and enjoy such as Restaurants (The Barn and many others) and pubs for eating and a quick refreshment. Very interesting and historical buildings to visit such as Bamburgh Castle and many other important Castles not too far away. Close to the seaside with easy access by road to fantastic beaches and coastal villages and towns. A very friendly and helpful owner eager to offer information on interesting places and beauty spots near the area. Ample parking outside the garden area. You almost get a feeling that there are no other houses or buildings for miles. All in all, a wonderful and most deserved break for anyone who cares to visit this fantastic and beautiful area of the country. Highly recommended to anyone who is prepared to travel towards the northeast as a most welcome break on the way.

Lovely properly.

Welcome pack. No wifi. Second visit,would go again.

Set out in lovely rural area not to far from the Holy islands or a drive to the super markets.

A beautiful drive around the coastline. Lots of walking places. A fantastic pub at the top of the road in walking distance is Lindisfarne Inn, a little bit pricey but well worth the large portion size. We love spending our holidays around this area. People are so friendly.

This is definitely the closest accommodation to Holy Island you can have, unless you want to camp.

The road to the Holy Island Causeway runs past the front gate and it is about two miles distant. The cottage is right next to a level crossing on the mainline and trains are frequent but they are not intrusive and did not impinge on our enjoyment at all. The cottage is clean and comfortable and has three bedrooms, although it only says two on the listing - there is a double, twin and single. Food at the Barn at Beal is nice but they do not do evening meals except at the weekend. Would certainly return if we wanted to go to Holy Island again. Very pleasant and helpful owners.

We have been to this cottage before.

It was everything and more than expected from a holiday cottage. I cannot fault anything about it.

We had not expected so many domestic items to be present in a holiday rental, i.

e. washing powder and liquid, tea towels, tea bags, coffee etc. and good bath towels. Just the basics but I had packed them automatically in view of previous experience. Delightful outside space and lovely summerhouse from which to appreciate the sunsets - which are pretty special. I think the cupboards were fitted by someone with much longer arms and legs than I can boast! Bit of a struggle for a shorty like me but we managed. I would suggest the provision of an oven-glove for obvious reasons. There were four of us, ranging from very elderly to only seven years old, and we all had a lovely week and would certainly go again. Northumberland is a beautiful county.

We had a lovely stay in St Cuthbert's Cottage in early June.

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. The summer house was a big plus on pleasant evenings we enjoyed. It was our first visit to this area and hopefully it won't be the last. Apart from the usual visits (Bamburgh, Berwick etc.,) Cragside is not to be missed and the Hatherslaw Mill area is lovely.

Lovely property.

Good location.well worth a visit.

Nicely secluded,but handy for local visitor attractions and food shopping.

Easy parking. Clean, tidy well kept accommodation, with lovely decor. We all enjoyed this accommodation so much that we have booked again for Christmas 2018.

Everything about this cottage was spot on, such a comfortable and clean cottage with lovely views , also a pretty summer- house to sit out in.

Enjoyed so much we have booked again for January.

It was a very well presented house, included all things needed for a very pleasant holiday.

Spacious, very clean and welcoming

Difficult to exceed expectations as I expected the whole process to be simple and straightforward - it was just that so it met, rather than exceeded expectations.

I don't actually know how you could "exceed"

It was ideal for us loving Holy Island as we do, very central for getting about the area.

Very cosey and warm.

Despite being near the railway, there was very little noise from the level crossing and the trains, and we weren't disturbed at all. Very convenient for access to Holy Island, and are looking forward to coming back.

St Cuthbert's Cottage is a wonderful place to stay.

Very close to the Nortumbrian Coastal Path and for visiting Holy Island. My sisters and I enjoyed some stunning walks from the cottage and had a fantastic week. The cottage is only a few metres away from the main East Coast railway line, but that was not a problem and we soon got used to them slipping by. The cottage actually has 3 bedrooms, a single, a double and a twin, so the advertising needs adjusting on the website. Also, what looks like an extra sitting space is shown on the site (chairs with the turquoise throws). This is actually a separate small building in the garden, which faces West, so you can sit and watch the sun go down. It's a very special space, a sanctuary even and could be advertised as such.

We loved the cottage but it took us a while to get used to the downstairs bathroom!

The trains didn't bother us at all - just to point out that they don't run all night. The double glazing really muffles the noise which might encourage 'non- train people' to book the cottage!!

We loved the homely feel, the summer house, the view over fields and the railway.
