Pamela September 2023

“Beautiful property.”

Immaculately clean, well equipped and maintained and tastefully decorated. The rural location on the outskirts of a quiet village is ideal for exploring the coast and castles of Northumberland.

David September 2023

“The cottage is an absolute gem - everything you could wish for - local OS maps & guide books / reading books - nice evening games selection - comprehensive information folders - very central for exploring the Northumberland area - the decor is to the highest standard & is both thoughtful and very tasteful - a credit to the owners!”

The king size bed was very comfortable & the walk in shower nice & powerful - a very quiet location despite being so close to the A1. Sadly due to the weather we didn't manage to use the outdoor area. A nice friendly farm shop is very close with good meals all day. On a personal note I have mobility issues - blue badge car holder - I found the cottage very accessible - only two small steps on entry - then everything on one level - the walk in shower a pleasure to use. I would highly recommend this cottage with absolutely no reservations.

Linda August 2023

“This is the best holiday let we have ever stayed in, and we have done quite a few of the past 10yrs.”

Everything was as described and it was exceptionally clean and modern. If we visit this area again we would definitely stay again, if it was available.

“A well equipped cottage at a very convenient location, close to both the beautiful Northumberland Coast as well as the Northumbria National park.”

Good location for beautiful walks and lots of other activities such as castles, the Farne Island and some really nice (small) museums.

- Irma, May 2023
Denise April 2023

“This was beautifully furnished comfortable cottage with everything you would need, conveniently situated near the A1 ( but you couldn’t hear it!”

) but as a result it was easy to visit all the popular areas of interest in Northumberland. We appreciated the eggs from the owners and milk and red wine. There is a Coop in the village and three pubs within walking distance. I would definitely consider visiting this property again.

Christopher September 2022

“The problem was the 13.”

5tog duvet when the weather was mild, this was changed to a summer weight for us with no problem. Also as the cushions on outside furniture are left out in all weathers they were saturated and still unusable at the end of our week.

- Christopher, September 2022

Susan April 2022

“This was the second time we have stayed at The Stables because it is so good and again we were not disappointed.”

It is a great property which is immaculate with everything you might need while staying there. It's well located to visit nearby castles or the coast with great beaches for walking and some nice pubs and restaurants.

- Susan, April 2022
Margaret April 2022

“A beautiful cottage, welcoming bottle of wine, milk, tea bags & small supply of coffee to start us off.”

We have stayed in about 50 different cottages (mostly booked through Sykes), The Stables ranks top along with 2 or 3 others. Information pack, leaflets etc helped us plan our week, weather was great, boat trip to the Farne Islands to be highly recommended. Just 1 suggestion (not a criticism), my husband has problems with balance & it would have been helpful to him if there was a grab bar in one of the shower units to aid getting in & out of the cubicle..Top class property. Thank you

- Margaret, April 2022
Grahame April 2022

“We had a wonderful stay in this cottage, a converted stable building developed to a high standard.”

The property was well equipped, clean and we felt very welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. We used the wood burner several times and this made the property feel very cozy; we also prepared our own meals on several occasions and everything we needed was at hand. Belford is a pleasant village close to the A1, but not too close to hear noise. We visited nearby Bamburgh and Seahouses and also Wooller and Ford and Etal. Our week holiday went far too quick here.

- Grahame, April 2022
Philip March 2022

“Superb accommodation near Northumberland Coast.”

- Tom, February 2022
Andrew January 2022

“The property was immaculately presented: very clean and extremely well equipped.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage, which had a warm and homely feel to it. The property (formerly a stable) has been completely refurbished and modernised to a very high standard less than a year ago. We enjoyed our time so much that we have rebooked for later this year. We have no hesitation in recommending this lovely cottage to anyone looking to explore the beautiful county of Northumberland.

- Andrew, January 2022
Simon January 2022

“A well appointed & comfortable property, recently renovated with all amenities.”

Communications and response with owners was good.

- Simon, January 2022
Diane November 2021

“A wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage which is in a lovely village & driving distance to many places.”

We visited Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick, Rothbury & Cragside. Everything in the cottage was spotlessly clean. Plenty of instructions & local information if you need it. Loved the little extra's ie bottle of wine and delicious eggs kindly left by the owner. Highly recommend Sunnyhills farm shop & cafe which is walking distance from the house, wonderful food.

- Diane, November 2021
Mary October 2021

Susan September 2021

“The Stables accommodation at Belford were superb.”

The property was spotlessly clean and furnished to a high standard. We had a welcome bottle of prosecco in the fridge and some eggs from the owners chickens on the farm next door waiting for us. The shops in Belford are a short walk away and there is plenty to do and see in the area during the week. We enjoyed our stay at The Stables and would recommend the accommodation for anyone looking to stay in the area.

The property

Set in a wonderful position on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Belford, is this attractive converted cottage, The Stables. Offering the very best of both the coast and countryside, this lovely single-storey dwelling is the perfect choice for one or two couples seeking a romantic retreat to Northumberland. Open up the pretty green door and be welcomed into the cloakroom with plenty of room for your coats and shoes, then enter into a light and airy open-plan living space, home to a gorgeous cream kitchen hosting all the necessary appliances, and an inviting seating area from which to enjoy many peaceful evenings in front of the woodburning stove. Admire the beautiful blue hues and striking exposed beams that decorate this stylish room, as you join at the dining table just a few steps away, and indulge in a delicious bottle of wine whilst mapping out all of your upcoming adventures. Continue the festivities out on the patio as you watch the sun set on another marvellous day in the countryside, before heading back inside to the two restful bedrooms, one of which can be found benefitting from an en-suite cloakroom. Completing the interior of the cottage is a stunning shower room, where you can freshen up with a rejuvenating rinse at the end of your days. When ready to discover the hidden gems of Northumberland, be sure to explore St Cuthbert's Cave and Ros Castle, or head to the village of Bamburgh to see Bamburgh Castle, the RNLI Grace Darling Museum and admire views of the Farne Islands from Bamburgh Beach. Take a boat out to Inner Farne Lighthouse and St Cuthbert's Chapel, or admire the incredible sea views as you enjoy a spot of golfing at the spectacular Bamburgh Castle Golf Club. Lose yourself on an awe-inspiring trail along Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, stopping off at Lindisfarne Priory, Lindisfarne Castle and the North Shore along the way. See the 14th-century remains of Dunstanburgh Castle, now owned by the National Trust, or explore Alnwick Castle, best known as the backdrop to many scenes from the famous Harry Potter series. Uncover the Belford Hidden History Museum and Twizel Castle, or spend your days hiking through the rugged terrains of Northumberland National Park. Grab dinner and drinks in the town of Wooler, before returning to the welcoming embrace of your home-away-from-home. Discover Northumberland like never before on an escape to The Stables.
