Chillingham Cottage

Nice location with everything you'd need for a short stay break or longer if you choose.

The overall location offered some nice peace and quiet and was ideally located for the things we wanted to see and do in the region.

We loved it, The only problem was the very squeaky floorboards in the bedrooms.

The layout was very good, the property was spotless. We loved the patio area. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

Best bed I’ve ever slept in at a holiday accommodation!

Good duvets and pillows too. Lots of thoughtful bits already at the house that you may need for your trip.

The cottage is cute and has many lovely aspects and was clean.

We really enjoyed the outside area by the stream with lovely wood furniture (no cushions though). Great location to walk around the town from and explore the local area. A variety of games and books are supplied which was nice. Kitchen had a lot to make a full meal with, which was appreciated. Make sure you bring your own tea, coffee, etc as none is provided. This lost a star as most cottages do supply these basics in England. The cottage on a whole is comfortable, but for us the foam bed was too soft and your hips sink which caused back pain. I had to sleep in the lower bunk which was better. There is a smell (pet) upon entering, so if you have pet allergies or scent sensitive, not the place to stay. There was no throw/blanket to use to cuddle up with at night, which would have been nice. If you are a light sleeper, be aware that there is an aviary just behind so birds start at 4am and the church bells go every hour through the night also. It’s why I only gave it 3 stars.

this was a great cottage and a great location from which to explore northumberland

Thought it was on a farm not Next to a caravan parking in the village

A very clean and comfortable cottage in a friendly village with a lot to see and do around .

We enjoyed our stay.

Not as clean as I would like.

stains on pillows and duvet.dustu & cobwebs. Great location for the coast. Some great recommendations from the owner via email.

Lovely little cottage at a good price ideally situated for sightseeing.

All facilities on the doorstep and everything you need for your holiday stay. Nice patio area overlooking stream to sit and have an evening glass of wine! Also bbq facility if wanted. Would certainly not hesitate to visit again.

Excellent host, great place to stay.

Had everything we needed, very clean and tidy and well equipped. Great location for Belford area.

Great house, very well decorated, had everything we needed for our stay.

Great location for the Belford area. Great comfortable beds. Excellent host, very helpful.

A lovely cottage, comfortable , warm and well equipped.

A perfect base for exploring the area.

This is an ideal cottage, it has practically everything you need and was comfortable.

Parking was good too with a large car park around the back space to unload outside the cottage. The owner gives good instructions and is on hand to contact. There were many wandering birds and rabbits around the cottage and an aviary next door with some unusual bird calls. It's in a good location in Belford to access the A1 going North and South for the coast and inland towards the Cheviots. The town itself is quiet but has a handy Co-op close to the cottage. It has Pubs, Cafe, Farm Shop (with Cafe) and Fish Shop but when we needed to use them, some were closed, so check opening times! The bus service from the town is quite handy, taking you up and down the coast towards Berwick/Alnwick/Bamburgh etc. We were happy with our stay here.

The cottage was exactly described and was very comfortable.

However, the listing did not mention that the cottage was in a farm, nor did it say that Bluebell Farm was a holiday park. I only found out about it being a farm when I received the email from the owner 2 days prior to my arrival, and only discovered it was a holiday park on arrival. Had I know this at the time of booking, I would not have booked.

Simply loved it!

They provide just about everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable.

Great property Dog friendly everything you need is there at your disposal

overpriced compared to whats available elsewhere.

Interior not fully equipped and only just adequate. Exterior no garden despite ad, very unkept and dirty outside, some garden seats on concrete surface overlooking a brook and bushes. car parking some distance away and roughly surfaced.

Lovely clean, cosy cottage with good amenities.

Loved the location which allowed us to access all the beautiful places we'd wanted to experience. On the downside, rather too many unexpected rules regarding pets greeted us on arrival. We would describe the property as 'pet fairly tolerant' rather than pet friendly. Having said this, we enjoyed the house itself and would return.

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and fully equipped for our weeks stay with 2 adults and 2 small dogs.

The whole area is very dog friendly with 2 pubs and a hotel in the village all dog friendly. The cottage has a patio overlooking a stream which is fully fenced off so again great for dogs or small children. There are a number of birds close by with dove crofts and others in pens as well as some turkeys walking freely around the site. However they don’t bother you and even our dogs came to ignore them. A previous review said the birds were noisy but apart from the occasional wolf whistle once in the cottage it was very quiet and very peaceful. Also plenty of off street parking in a private car parking area just behind the cottage. A great location and would definitely come back.

A quiet and peaceful development of old farm buildings.

Well thought out , well equipped and comfortable. Within easy (walking) reach of co op, church , pubs, chip shop and launderette in an historic former coaching village. Bus stop at the top of the road takes you to Berwick upon Tweed or Newcastle and points of interest in between. Loads to do and see , as close to coast. A real find.

There was some concern over parking.

This cottage is on the site of bluebell Farm holiday park, and at the weekend there were a number of cars from there taking up the parking spaces. It was difficult to park and other cars and vans parked made it difficult to get out.

Really enjoyed our stay had everything we needed including a very comfortable bed for a good night sleep.

Would DEFINITELY return for another holiday

Comfortable cottage and great location near the A1.

Good access to all the local attractions. A couple of good eateries in the village, plus local Co-op store and chip shop. The downside was the local bird menagerie on the doorstep. Constant noise of wildfowl, parrots and pigeons and bird poop everywhere.

The cottage was well equipped and well presented.

Lots of places to walk dogs, but you have to drive there first.

Lovely cottage in a nice setting with shops nearby for supplies.

Everything you need is there and the beds are really comfortable. It's also a good base to then explore the area as it is close to Bamburgh, Alnwick and Lindisfarne to name a few places. The whole family really liked it there and we will be back again for another holiday. Recommended.

1.

Awful location - a bit of a dump where cottage is! 2. Poor reception when we reached the cottage - very cold, unable to get heating on as owner apparently remotely controls ‘on’/‘off’ status!!! 3. Would not recommend for dog-owners - no garden and few walking areas nearby.

This is a lovely little cottage.

The owner has thought of everything.

Excellent cottage and location.

Well catered for toddler and dog! Lovely stay

The cottage is beautiful, very clean and well equipped.

The location is close to essential outlets for shopping, food and laundry. Very well positioned to explore both North and South Northumbria with the main attractions all within a half hours drive of the cottage We had everything we needed for our weeks stay in Chillingham Cottage and it is a credit to the owner. The only negative comment is the proximity to the aviary next door. The "dawn chorus" is very loud and windows had to be closed at night to try and avoid being woken up at 05:30 each morning.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and had fantastic access to the local amenities such as the Co-op and the Chippy.

It was in a brilliant position to access the sites like Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle, even for a pop over the border into Scotland. I would highly recommend this cottage, and will definitely be revisiting it myself in the future.

We had a wonderful week at Chillingham Cottage.

The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything needed for a home from home and the welcome bottle of Prosecco and scones from the village café were a lovely touch. The patio by the stream was a lovely place to sit and relax with a glass of something cold after a days walking. Belford is an ideal base from which to explore the beautiful coast and countryside of Northumberland and the Scottish borders We will definitely be back

Excellent location, the charm of an old cottage yet furnished with all the modern amenities you could wish for.

Good parking, close to shops yet surrounded by stunning countryside. Very obliging hosts who go the extra mile.

The cottage is lovely and in a very good location if wanting to visit places like Bamburgh and Seahouses.

The stream out back is a lovely feature. It is worth noting that the complex has a lot of birds! Chickens, parrots, geese etc- which is lovely to see but not so much when they wake you up at 5am! We enjoyed our stay but the early morning wake up calls not so much.

The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable, well equipped and very pleasant.

The bed was particularly comfortable.The bottle of Prosecco was a nice extra touch too. The Cottages’s location in Belford is ideal for visiting the many sights on offer and the proximity of a good Co op shop was an added bonus. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

We were the 1st to stay at Chillingham after lockdown and we were so glad that we decided to choose a cottage rather than a caravan; We have been to Northumberland a number of times before but always on campsites, as we don't use any of the facilities and just like to get out and about this suited us much better.

The cottage is so cosy and had everything we needed for a great holiday, we loved having the wood burner as the nights were still very chilly. The Co-op is 2 minutes walk and the chippy the same distance for those evenings you want to treat yourself. It was great to have somewhere we could really relax at the end of the day and it's lovely to have the stream right behind the cottage with seating to have a nice drink, it gets the sun right until late evening. It has a real farm feel to it with the ducks, geese, turkey and various other birds and our son loved watching them. Belford is ideally situated for everything you want to see and has a couple of playgrounds, a nice farm shop and a couple of pubs, unfortunately we didn't get to experience these due to restrictions only just being lifted. All in all a fantastic stay, we would definitely choose this in future as it has everything we need in an accommodation.

Lovely cottage very nice environment very dog friendly.

Easy to get around very central places to vist the beach only a few minutes away. Very comfortable inside everything you need. Would recommend this cottage.

Well furnished Cottage and an extremely comfortable bed.

We had a lovely holiday holiday at Chillingham Cottage, facilities were great and it is well located to explore both the wonderful Northumberland coast and the Cheviots.

The kids especially enjoyed feeding the ducks and we were happy letting them explore the immediate area as is felt very safe and friendly.

A very comfortable cottage in a lovely location.

Convenient for all the places we wanted to visit. The owner was very helpful and contacted us before we arrived to make sure we knew that he was available should we need him, which was a first for us and much appreciated. We would recommend Chillingham Cottage and would love to return.

Great location.

Quiet yet 5 mins to shop,pubs and fish and chips. Close to A1, so easy access to all towns and villages we wanted to visit.

Very comfy cottage with every thing you need close to shops and pub chippy almost next door easy to explore the coast

The cottage was OK and was well equipped.

The only comment I would make is that it could do with a proper shower otherwise everything was acceptable.

Very pleasant and comfortable small cottage.

No garden, but a small yard with a picnic table, next to the stream. Plenty of parking nearby. Good WIFI/Internet. Bathroom has bath but no real shower, which was was the only thing we at all missed. Interesting collection of fowl (muscovy ducks, turkeys, etc.) plus rabbits wandering around outside, which we enjoyed. Belford itself is a very good base for North Northumberland - large enough to have a good supermarket (within easy walking distance of the cottage) and a few places to eat and drink, but not large enough to be noisy, and only a couple of minutes drive from the A1. All in all, a very good stay.
