“We had a fantastic 5 days at Chestnut cottage (myself, my wife, our 2 boys (8 and 9) and our French bulldog) between Christmas and New year.”
The property was a real home from home for us. Lovely comfy couches to chill on after long days out, modern kitchen with everything you could need, 3 decent sized bedrooms with very comfy beds, and secure garden for Dougie to mooch around to his hearts content. The hot tub was a real luxury, and a huge hit with the boys at the end of every day (we've had to fend off several requests for us to get a hot tub at home on the back of it).
The viallge itself, although small has plenty of amenities (shop, pub, restaurant, newsagent, cafe, butchers, even a play park). We had some lovely meals in the Village Inn, which was very welcoming to our boys and dog and made chips like I remember my Nan making! We also got picnic from the Running Fox to take out with us (They had amazing pies and the best sausage rolls).
We were well located for many days out all within a short drive, Seahouses, Alnwick, Bamburgh, Holy Island, Newcastle. We even ventured in to Edinburgh one day. The view of Bamburgh castle from the beach with the sun setting over it was stunning.
Owners were also very helpful, and suggested good places for us to visits that we wouldn't have known about (Duridge Bay Country Park).
Overall our stay at Chestnut cottage was a real treat in a beautiful area of the country. We will definitely be looking for a return visit.
