    “We actually left the cottage early Wednesday morning.”

    I do feel you need to take up to date photos of outside and inside of the cottage, as they bear no relation to reality or the current photos on your internet site.

    I do feel you need to take up to date photos of outside and inside of the cottage, as they bear no relation to reality or the current photos on your internet site. On arrival I was very disappointed first impressions of the cottage was scruffy and that was even before I opened the door. On stepping in side we felt the cottage was not very welcoming cold dismal. Apart from kitchen we found the cottage very shabby and in need of all new furniture the leather sofa dirty down the arms and broken, it was like sitting in a hole. The bed smelt funny the bedding wanted burning including the pillows and quilt. As for asking us to leave the kitchen stuff clean, well it wasn't clean when we arrived the first 4 dinner plates were dirty and a small pan. The kettle was leaking and in need of a good descale. We bought a new kettle on the Sunday morning, which we took home with us. Had I known the cottage was attached to several other cottages I would not have booked it, perhaps this should be reflected on new outside photos. The cottage attached to our cottage was like grand central station we did know who was staying there, at least 6/8 people were coming and going not to mention the 2 BARKING DOGS they were sneaking in and out. All in all not a good stay but the views and location were good. Please bear in mind this is our personal view which you have asked for.

About the location

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
