    “The property is lovely, well furnished with some nice original features, and a comfy bathroom also.”

    The enclosed garden is a plus point too. Good location, 5 mins from Belford, just over 10 to Bamburgh, with the rest of Northumberland all set for exploring. It's an ideal base to use to plan your adventures. The railway line is close by, but honestly, it never bothered us. The heating upstairs has improved since our first visit, but that was late December a few years ago. At least now the thermostat isn't locked in a plastic box The downstairs heating however is woefully inadequate once ...

    The enclosed garden is a plus point too. Good location, 5 mins from Belford, just over 10 to Bamburgh, with the rest of Northumberland all set for exploring. It's an ideal base to use to plan your adventures. The railway line is close by, but honestly, it never bothered us. The heating upstairs has improved since our first visit, but that was late December a few years ago. At least now the thermostat isn't locked in a plastic box The downstairs heating however is woefully inadequate once it gets a bit chilly outside. The owners provide blankets, and say the log burners are there for the 'cosy nights'. But, that involves obviously making the fire, maintaining it and then cleaning afterwards. Not to mention the £5 for a bag of logs. I go on holiday to relax and unwind, not to be transported back to the late 1800's for my warmth. The email we received a few days prior to our holiday also told us that portable heaters are not permitted, so the owners clearly know others have found it cold also, but instead of fixing the issue, they want to stop folk finding a work around. Holida Hoose is well worth a visit, but go in the warmer months.

    Thank you for your feedback as all is appreciated good or bad as this allows us to keep up with guests expectations, however I feel the later part is wholly unfair as upon receiving your review I attended the property to find all 3 digital thermostats controlling the 3 zones to be in full working order. Simply operated by the up/down arrows to set temperatures. Given the fact your stay was for 14 nights and two telephone numbers for any maintenance issues are provided in the house book that you did not contact regarding this. For reference the blankets in the basket are for dog use and not meant as a means of keeping humans warm. Log burners are an additional source for that cosy feel on winter nights. Sorry to hear your stay was not as expected but a simple phone would have remedied it. Regards Jason Property Owner

The property

Settled on the outskirts of the charming village of Belford, near to the rugged Northumberland coastline, is this beautiful, mid-terrace cottage, Holida Hoose.

Ideal for one or two couples seeking a relaxing break to the North of England, Holida Hoose boasts contemporary style and comfort, and is within easy reach of lots of popular places and attractions.

Find this charming cottage amidst several others perched next to the railway crossing, and park up in the ample parking space behind the cottage before heading in through the back door.

Make your way past the excellent utility room housing the washing machine before reaching the stunning, contemporary kitchen, boasting traditional style in the form of the exposed brick fireplace with a woodburning stove, alongside more modern features like the subway tiling and a dark grey fitted kitchen.

Make use of the excellent appliances in here to rustle up tasty meals for your loved ones to be enjoyed at the rustic timber dining table.

Move into the homely sitting room to relax into your evening on one of the two armchairs or the sofa, with a Smart TV to stream a new release on, along with another woodburning stove for those cooler winter nights, all decorated with more of the same attractive, minimalist style.

Travel up to the first floor to find two beautiful bedrooms to unwind in, one boasting a king-size and the other a double, perfect for two couples, and served by the sleek shower room with a large shower enclosure to freshen up in.

Spend time outside in your own lovely, enclosed, front garden with a lawn and patio, or take a seat around the picnic bench in the rear shared garden area with a huge stretch of lawns for your dogs to enjoy.

Just over the tracks you can find the centre of the village of Belford, home to an excellent farm shop and a Co-op, along with two pubs and a café, catering to all your needs on holiday.

Local walks in the area can be enjoyed along the coast, with the Northumberland Coast Path running right through Belford, connecting you to Bamburgh where Bamburgh Castle lies.

Pay a visit to this imposing structure, towering 150 feet above the coast, it offers amazing sea views and a rich history to explore.

Bamburgh also has a pretty beach and is home to the RNLI Grace Darling Museum too.

Enjoy a day out visiting the beautiful Holy Island of Lindisfarne, inhabited in 635AD by Saint Aidan, you can marvel at Lindisfarne Castle, the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory and learn more about the history of the island at the Lindisfarne Heritage Centre.

Head further north up to England's most northerly town, Berwick-upon-Tweed, to walk the amazing Elizabethan walls, visit Berwick Castle, and see Berwick's Barracks too.

In the other direction is the charming market town of Alnwick, home to the famous Alnwick Garden comprising an expansive network of formal gardens, a huge central fountain, and even a restaurant in a treehouse, with a more recent addition being the Poison Garden!

Discover a wealth of things to do in Northumberland from Holida Hoose.
