“Overall, we had a lovely stay.”
The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes from Bamburgh centre, making it really convenient for exploring the area. The gardens are also enclosed, tidy and a great feature if you’re bringing a dog along.

The main downside for us was the cleanliness of the cottage. Unfortunately, I had to rewash the majority of the dishes as several had been put away dirty, and some of the plates had stains on them that couldn’t be removed. I also ended up recleaning the table area, sofa and flooring, as these appeared to be quite dirty, possibly from previous pets staying at the property. I think the cottage would really benefit from a more thorough deep clean between guests, particularly given that it is pet-friendly.
There was also an issue with the shower head in the ensuite. The holder appeared to be broken, meaning the shower head continually dropped to its lowest position despite trying to adjust it. As a result, I had to remove the shower head from the holder and use it by hand when showering.
Aside from these points, we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is in a fantastic location and has a lot going for it; a little more attention to the cleaning and maintenance between stays would make a big difference.
