Barnacles

A lovely well equipped house and lived upto our expectations.

And perfect for our dog. We would definitely stay there again. A credit to the owners

Barnacles is a comfortable cottage in an amazing location.

It has everything needed to provide a home from home - so many thoughtful touches. We loved sitting out in the conservatory - a fabulous extra space. Lovely garden with loads of birds and a very quiet setting. 5 minute walk to the beach. Who could ask for more? We would love to return.

A wonderful relaxing property, well equipped to a high standard.

It is close to the beach and the coastal path. It has a lovely garden which is secure for dogs.. All in all highly recommended.

We have stayed at Barnacles often over the past 10 years and hopefullywill in future years which speaks for itself.

Absolutely perfect holiday cottage with everything available for a most enjoyable stay.

Owners have thoughtfully made it a real home from home.

Perfect bungalow in every way for a relaxing holiday.

Perfect location for Northumberland at its best.

Love Northumberland and stayed with you many times, but with 350 mile journey each way this will be the last time we book a Friday changeover.

journey times much longer than Saturdays.

Best holiday cottage we have been at.

Spotlessly clean. Everything you could think off is there and then some. It has such a homely feel we could have just stayed forever. No matter the weather there is loads in the house to occupy children and adults alike.

We were very comfortable and the cottage was well equipped for all our needs.

The garden was pleasant and restful, also sufficiently dogproof for our two inquisitive spaniels. We had a lovely holiday.

This is our third stay at this lovely bungalow and we highly recommend it.

Excellent property for our needs ,good parking plus near the beach for walking the dogs and would recommend the property to anyone Only one thing the vacuum cleaner was not too great apart from that we enjoyed our stay and looking forward to going back

A comfortable and well equipped home from home which everyone, including the dogs, enjoyed.

The location was perfect and would love to stay again.

Great bungalow.

Bigger than it looks in the pictures. Lovely enclosed back garden. Location is fantastic, on a quiet little street but only a 5 minute walk from the beach.

Lovely spacious property, clean & comfortable.

Great location near the beach, in a nice quiet cul-de-sac. The enclosed garden is a massive positive when you have a dog! Would definitely return in the future.

Barnacles has to be one of our best self catering choices ever.

.Immaculately equipped and furnished providing everything we needed for our stay. Being so close to Boulmer’s easily accessible quiet beach was ideal for us senior citizens and our Norfolk Terrier, so we were there every day enjoying the glorious weather! We would certainly recommend a stay at Barnacles and hope to return. Ann, Noel & Frankie

Very pleased that the shower was so much better than last year .

You have a lovely place in a wonderful position to see one of the best coastlines in England .

This is our third stay at Barnacles as we love the property and location.

It’’s in a quiet area within a few minutes walk of the coastal path and beach. The additions of a well stocked bookcase, coffee machine and welcome pack of tea, coffee pods, milk and biscuits were much appreciated. We were so impressed with the coffee machine we have purchased one for home! We will definitely be booking again.

Barnacles was a great base for our week in Northumberland, it was like a home from home - comfortable and warm with a very well appointed kitchen.

We enjoyed the selection of games and DVDs provided, especially on a very rainy day! Great location close to the beach and easy to get out and about to Alnwick and further afield.

Lovely bungalow and everything needed for a great holiday.

I had worries about heating before we went, as my 93 year old Mum was coming with us . I needn’t have worried the owner was really helpful and the heating was excellent all of the time we were there. Highly recommended holiday cottage.

Barnacles was a fantastic place to stay and immaculately clean.

It was one of the best equipped cottages I’ve stayed in with a great kitchen and facilities. The cottage is dog friendly with a safe, enclosed back garden. It’s in a beautiful location, a minute walk to the beach and very easy to explore other parts of Northumberland. I hope to return soon.

We have visited Barnacles previously but noted this year how much cleaner & "looked after" the property felt.

There was a much better supply of cutlery & crockery etc for 4 people. Debbie, who looks after the property, was leaving as we arrived & made sure we knew how to contact her if we had any problems. When 4 of the lightbulbs blew during our stay she quickly sorted the problem, excellent service!

Very clean & comfortable

I was very sorry to read that you found the water temperature was scalding and wish that you had contacted us.

Our subsequent guests confirmed that the water was not scalding as they adjusted the mixer tap and were very happy with the termperature. I'm sorry that you left early.

Window vents require cleaning, including bathroom vent.

Lamp on extractor fan requires replacing. The kitchen water tap is loose, requires tightening before the connection pipes fracture. The boiler setting for the hot water is too HOT! The water will scaled someone, a sign does NOT relinquish your responsibility. If your going to keep the mixer tap would suggest a single control valve, less possibility of scalding. Please add to your welcome text, that there is 2 key boxes, in the same way as your welcome brochure in the lounge. Arriving after 9pm the only key box you see is the garage and your not aware there is another!! We almost booked into the Premier Inn for the night as there was no way we could contact any body!! A very welcome touch

Great stay at Barnacles , very comfortable and clean in a good location near beach to walk dog with handy washing machine and dryer in garage , which is not on info on web.

Would stay again.
