“Superb location and facilities for a brilliant break.”
We were very lucky with the weather for the middle of February with blue skies and sunshine for all but one day. All the interesting places were easy to reach, although some castles etc. didn't open until March, but it didn't stop our enjoyment and we packed a lot in. We were disappointed that the promised 'welcome pack' was missing, but we had taken milk so we had a cup of tea after our journey which was essential. Apart from that, everything was provided to a high standard.

Sue “The Loft was a beautiful place to stay really warm and cozy.”
We had a fabulous week exploring Northumberland. Our little dog came with us she had a great time running for miles on Bamburgh beach. Most places we visited were dog friendly. Will most definitely re visit.
- Sue, November 2023Maggie “This is the second time I have stayed in the loft, it’s in such a good place equal distance between Holy Island and Bamborough.”
It’s warm comfy and there is everything you need, my dogs love staying there.
- Maggie, November 2023Stephen “Up there as one of the best cottages we have stayed in and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone and wouldn't look elsewhere if we visit the area again.”
The kitchen/diner is superb and really well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Both bathrooms are well presented and have excellent showers. The bedrooms are spacious with ample storage, the beds were really comfy and we both remarked on how quiet the village is, particularly at night. We were also pleased with the lounge area with its comfy sofas , large tv and excellent Wi-Fi, particularly as the weather wasn't great meaning we stayed in more than planned. A big thank you to the owners for the wine and welcome pack and for making it such an excellent place to stay.
- Stephen, October 2023Kevin “Not the first stay @ The Loft, well positioned for visiting the surrounding area’s.”
Everything at the loft is clean, tidy and well equipped for a welcoming stay. All amenities to hand, we stayed in a few nights and kitchen well stocked with all cutlery and required cooking facilities. Only thing I’d like to remark on is the double bed in the main bedroom, that the bed frame has become rather squeaky, meaning any movement during your sleep creates enough noise to wake you. Perhaps the bed frame requires looking at or replacing if not fixable, the mattress whilst seemingly supportive, wasn’t as much as it seemed resulting in a stiff back most mornings, this maybe a personal preference, but maybe the availability of a bed topper mattress could be available on site, as it could be stored with the spare blankets in the plentiful cupboards available.? That said, everything else was perfect same as our last stay in The Loft previously.
- Kevin, September 2023Karyn “We loved the location and general feel of the place.”
It’s a great spot for exploring the coast, which is beautiful. The coffee shop downstairs is lovely for a treat cuppa and cake. The accommodation had everything we needed for self-catering. Especially appreciated having decent size bath towels, as so many places only have small ones. And a very comfortable sofa! Would recommend.
- Karyn, September 2023Sonia “The loft was an amazing place.”
Very comfortable and well resourced. It is a fantastic base to explore Northumberland. We hope to return soon to continue our adventures.
- Sonia, August 2023Susan “Beautiful apartment in a quiet rural location.”
Views of Holy Island from the windows. Lovely welcome package which was unexpected but appreciated. Very comfortable lounge, excellent bathrooms.
- Susan, August 2023Ellen “Very tasteful, comfortable and spacious property.”
Great location and handy to have a coffee shop next door. Really enjoyed the stay and loved the accommodation.
- Ellen, July 2023Frank “We enjoyed staying in The Loft, very comfortable and modern apartment.”
Thanks a lot
- Frank, July 2023Simon “A really wonderful property - really well equipped and well laid out.”
Really enjoyed our stay there.
- Simon, June 2023Annette “Immaculate cottage, welcome pack was very thoughtful.”
Very comfortable and homely. Easy access to sounding places of interest, we hope to make a return visit.
- Annette, June 2023David “The loft was lovely well equipped ( could do with a couple more coffee mugs”
- David, May 2023Lesley Anne “We had a fabulous week in Northumberland the weather was lovely and people are so friendly.”
The Loft was superb a very well appointed living space.Everything was spotless and very comfortable. The welcome touches milk,butter, bread and even a bottle of wine much appreciated.We will be back .
- Lesley Anne, May 2023Julie “We had a wonderful holiday and very lucky with the weather.”
The Loft accommodation was perfect for our needs, very bright, clean and well equipped, would definitely go back there again sometime. It is conveniently located just off the A1 and is not far from Berwick and only a short distance to the Holy Island causeway.
- Julie, May 2023Susan “Another fantastic stay in the gorgeous Loft.”
Everything is immaculate. Great base for exploring Northumberland. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else….we love it!!
- Susan, May 2023Jayne “Fabulous property in a brilliant location for the Northumberland coast.”
The loft was really like home from home very cosy, clean and comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped will definitely return .
- Jayne, March 2023Neil “Enjoyed the accommodation and location.”
Even with the snow it was easy to get about, due to the A1 very near. Great place one of the best we have stayed in. We have over the years we have been to many.
- Neil, March 2023Kevin “The accommodation was very relaxing, welcoming, well sized, layout was perfect to allow space, comfort and relaxation all in one property.”
From a welcome pack on arrival, to our vacating the property we were enjoying the accommodation over Xmastime, during periods of wintery weather at times. The accommodation was equally comfortable and cosy due to the available centrally heated rooms, which was totally on top of the job. Accommodation is very well positioned for various places to visit in the area, also parking outside for 2 vehicles. We would return if available, on our next visit to Northumbria.
- Kevin, December 2022Claire “We had a lovely time at The Loft in Fenwick.”
It's clean, comfy and quiet with lovely thoughtful touches everywhere. The decor was perfect, and the kitchen was really well equipped for us. We were only missing a pen to write in the guest book! The little extras were fantastic - bread, butter, milk, tea and coffee on arrival and a bottle of wine! And we loved the Christmas tree and subtle decorations around the place - made it really special.
- Claire, December 2022Paul “Excellent flat and the owner dealt with an issue, very promptly.”
- Paul, November 2022Tony “Absolutely Fabulous Conversion of this property.”
A very nice place with country views, Berwick is not far to travel to for shopping etc, you can get a glimpse of Holy Island also. We liked the Loft that much our booking for March 2023 in The Nook we changed over to the Loft
- Tony, November 2022Stuart “Perfect location and perfect cottage.”
Very well equipped and a very efficient heating system for the cold days. Spacious accommodation with plenty of private space if two couples are holidaying together .It has its own dedicated parking spot allocated which becomes clear once you have read the welcome pack .The stone stairs are easy to use for all but the less mobile.No shops in walking distance but a welcome pack of bread ,milk,butter and a bottle of wine will help you settle in. Would definitely return again as it's amongst the best places we have ever stayed
- Stuart, October 2022Paul “The Loft was very well located.”
It was comfortable and well equipped. Great views of local countryside and Lindisfarne Island.
- Paul, October 2022Jacqueline “Fantastic place to stay.”
Described very well on Skye’s site, no complaints at all. The owners were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Very doggy friendly. Berwick on tweed was great for doggy walking. Holy island is only open in the morning and shuts down once the tide comes in in the afternoon. Was disappointed with Alnwick though not very doggy friendly. Went to Bamburgh on our last day, wish we’d gone earlier. Very doggy friendly and recommend the crown pub it was the highlight of our food experience and doggy was allowed in. Thank you for a wonderful holiday x
- Jacqueline, September 2022Michael “The Loft was very spacious, well laid out and airy and with windows to both sides you had wonderful views to the countryside around and this included Holy Island.”
It was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was located in a very peaceful village but within easy driving distance of the many places of interest that can be found on the beautiful Northumberland Coast. The Loft is a true gem of a place and am sure that we will return again to this beautiful relaxing home.
- Michael, July 2022Kim “Lovely accommodation, bright and clean.”
Very spacious. Easy to find with parking available just outside, great for unloading cars etc. Great access to places to eat and visit. Holiday over to soon would love to have stayed longer. Thank you
- Kim, June 2022Susan “The loft is a superb apartment, clean, comfortable, light and airy.”
Well situated for walks, the beautiful coast, and villages. A small enclosed garden area has been created next to the property which is very pleasant to sit in for a while when the sun shines. Just be aware there are no facilities, like shops, pubs, cafes within walking distance. Highly recommended.
- Susan, June 2022Philip “The Loft is a very comfortable and spacious upper floor apartment with excellent facilities.”
It is perfectly situated within easy reach of Lindisfarne, Berwick, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Beadnell and Craster. It is dog friendly and just up the road in Lowick are two welcoming pubs, whilst a handy petrol station with a Londis shop lies just a couple of minutes up the A1. We had a fantastic week staying at the Loft, our only difficulty being the front door which seems to have a temperamental lock which can pose a challenge when entering and leaving, and could potentially be a problem if needing to evacuate the property quickly. Other than for the door, the property is excellent.
- Philip, May 2022Elizabeth “Excellent bright light spotless apartment in great area to explore Northumberland.”
Views of Lindisfarne in the distance. Only 1 wooden chopping board - need more for meat eaters ( we are veggie) and also a kitchen fluffy towel but no real tea towels provided - could do with 2 tea towels as well. thanks
- Elizabeth, April 2022Beth “Very clean and comfortable.”
A generous welcome pack. Good location for exploring Northumberland. Very well provisioned with cooking equipment.
- Beth, March 2022Catherine “We had the most amazing stay at The Loft.”
The barn conversion was truly beautiful. Attention to detail was second to none and made for an extremely comfortable stay. The barn has been decorated and furnished to a high standard and everything you could possibly need was provided. It was very cosy and homely and we really did not want to leave. The location near Bamburgh and the Holy Island is perfect and our 2 dogs loved the beautiful secluded beaches that we discovered each day for them to run free and were exhausted when we came back for a comfortable evening in. Thank you for an incredible stay and we will definitely be back.
- Catherine, February 2022Stephen “What a superb cottage.”
Well equipped and furnished to a high standard. The welcome pack of wine, shortbread, bread, butter and milk was perfect for our late arrival. The one change I would suggest is to have some of the doors looked at - bedroom doors that don’t shut make it difficult to keep the dog out (as requested) and the front door is very difficult to close and open. Other than that, a brilliant stay I would recommend to all.
- Stephen, February 2022Chris “The property was excellent, with everything needed for a great short holiday break in a very quiet location, but near but not too near to the A1 for easy access across the area.”
The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, bread, biscuits, butter and a bottle of wine was really great. Thanks to John & Eva the owners who did us proud. Our only opportunity for improvement would to replace the very tired and peeling leather couch as we were finding bits of it's covering everywhere as it fell off.
- Chris, February 2022Pauline “Great clean accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable stay.”
Location ideal for exploring the area.
- Pauline, December 2021Becky “Beautiful property, extremely high standard.”
We absolutely loved it.
- Becky, August 2021John “Excellent Cottage with very high standard of presentation and facilities.”
Would highly recommend for a holiday exploring Northumberland.
- John, June 2021Wesley “Sofas need to be up graded.”
- Wesley, June 2021Richard “Imaginative conversion with three large rooms equipped with just about everything you would hope to find in a holiday cottage.”
Top end appliances, excellent large ensuite bathrooms. Big TV and strong wi-fi. Well placed within Northumberland for Scottish borders, and Alnwick/Bamburgh/ Seahouses (packed with families enjoying themselves but avoided by us old fogies.) The fire alarm works as we discovered when we over-cooked the toast. Covid precautions very much in evidence so we felt safe. It seems churlish to offer suggestions but the owners seem keen for guests to do so, so here goes...... All sockets (and there were many) are standard 13amp ones. If you need to recharge phones, shavers, electric toothbrushes you need to bring adaptors. I understand how fragile non-stick surfaces on pans are if not treated carefully but scrambled eggs took a lot of dislodging when it came to washing up, with overnight soaking needed. We found the beds very comfortable but not the settees . The steps up to the Loft are narrow and steep and the threshold easy to trip over, so beware if you are not steady on your feet. The General Waste bin was full to overflowing a week before it was due to be emptied. This is the result of fortnightly collections by the Council. Would a second bin per unit be allowed by them?
- Richard, June 2021Joanne “This was a perfect place to stay for a relaxing break.”
Felt straight at home here, everything has been thought out well. Very comfortable double bed, nice touch of cleaner texting us to let us know property was ready and then to wish us well on our journey home on the last day - lovely welcome pack also with wine and biscuits. Loved our stay here and didnt want to leave!
- Joanne, May 2021Jonathan “Great accommodation, ideal for visiting all major attractions”
- Jonathan, September 2020Jane “A very comfortable first floor ‘cottage’.”
It’s really spacious and is very well equipped. The shower for the main bedroom was fantastic. Our only slight problem was with the sofas which weren’t as comfortable as they would be ordinarily as most of the cushions had been removed due to Covid. The seats were very deep so we could only sit with our legs curled up on the sofa itself. The location was good for visiting lots of lovely places. We would certainly stay again if we go to Northumberland again.
- Jane, September 2020Rachel “The cottage was beautiful, spacious and very well equipped, even though some soft furnishings had needed to be removed, due to the current situation.”
We loved staying in The Loft, we really appreciated the welcome basket, and Northumberland was just a beautiful place to be. The only thing we would suggest was a thinner quilt in the summer as a thick luxurious quilt was hard to sleep under in july.
- Rachel, July 2020Chris “Lovely apartment, very clean and well furnished.”
Had everything you need and the location was great! :)
- Chris, July 2020George “A superbly furnished and fully equipped cottage in a beautiful area ,what more could you ask for?”
The owners clearly have put alot of time and agreat deal of thought into making other peoples holidays perfect - Thank You very much.
- George, March 2020John “Excellent location (view of Lindisfarne from window), lovely "welcome pack", all in all an excellent holiday was had by us all.”
Would recommend it to anybody
- John, January 2020Susan “We booked this long weekend break after a difficult time and I could not have wished for a better break.”
The accommodation is stunning and had everything you could possibly want. Everything is top quality, and thought of owners with the small extras really made us feel welcome. The location and surrounding area is stunning and showcases Northumberland beautifully. The property and location is particularly suitable for our two cocker spaniels. The owners provided dog bowls and also a towel in the entrance area. Little touches that made us feel very welcome. would definitely recommend
- Susan, January 2020Sylvia “Fabulous, very clean warm and stylish.”
Enjoyed our stay .
- Sylvia, November 2019Susan “What a beautiful holiday cottage!”
We had lots of lovely family time.❤️ The Loft was just perfect. Sea view , quite, close too Northumberland's wonderful beaches. The hamper of local produce was a really nice touch and we'll appreciated. We would definitely stay at The Loft again.
- Susan, October 2019Moira “There has been no expense spared in the decor.”
The layout is fantastic with bedrooms being either end of apartment giving great privacy. The welcoming pack was fabulous. Bottle of wine, biscuits, bread, jam, butter, milk, tea, coffees + sugar. Again, nothing scrimped on. So quiet, lovely starry skies and so many places to visit nearby. Highly recommend.
- Moira, September 2019Julia “What a wonderful holiday home with beautiful views from every window.”
And in such a perfect location so close to the A1. We looked forward to coming back to the Loft after some memorable days out on the local area. Highly recommended.
- Julia, September 2019Win “The loft is a clean,well equipped place to stay.”
Situated in an ideal area for visiting places. We would highly recommend this beautiful home.
- Win, September 2019Stewart “The accommodation was first class, well equipped.”
An ideal place to stay if you want to walk to Lindisfarne and visit Berwick on Tweed. A great base to walk the local footpaths. Great views if you are stopping in The Loft across to Lindisfarne.
- Stewart, September 2019John “Viewing the Loft at Fenwick convinced us to visit Northumberland for the first time, we were not disappointed, in fact it was the cherry on the cake for a very enjoyable week.”
The quality, spaciousness and comfort was one of the best holiday accommodation we have stayed at.There are not many places that have views over Holy Island.
- John, August 2019Madeleine “Absolutely stunning loft accommodation in a gorgeous location.”
The Loft was a fantastic example of open plan living. The outdoor area was a beautiful place to sit with a drink or an evening meal. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return in the near future.
- Madeleine, August 2019Susan “We had a fabulous holiday in Northumberland.”
The weather was excellent, lots to see and do and the accommodation was something else. The Loft deserves five star + decor beautiful, well equipped kitchen a truly gorgeous place to stay. The owners have thought of everything even the welcome pack was outstanding. We’ll definately be going back for another holiday.
- Susan, May 2019Avril “Fabulous break at The Loft , such a beautiful property in the village of Fenwick .”
Loved the open plan living area and the gorgeous beams, interiors very nice too and huge sofas to rest your legs after a great day exploring Northumberland and Scottish borders . A well equipped kitchen for cooking and the the welcome basket a really nice touch will certainly return to The Loft again. Mrs Jenkinson Doncaster
- Avril, May 2019Isobel “The Loft was an outstanding experience from beginning to end.”
Owner very friendly and helpful when we rang to obtain key code. Interior exactly as pictured - a very attractive well appointed room. Great attention to detail and filled with natural light. En suite bedrooms at opposite ends of the main room ensured privacy. Plenty of hot water, large towels and pristine white bed linen. Greeted by a very generous Welcome Pack, such a surprise.!
- Isobel, April 2019Mark “Fantastic accommodation with so many places to visit from your doorstep.”
Great coastal walks close by The loft is a converted village hall which has all the facilities you need with a touch of luxury I would definitely recommend the loft for a fantastic holiday
- Mark, April 2019Gemma “The location is great for beaches and cottage kitted out to an extemely high standard making it very comfortable and enjoyable when eating in.”
One of the best holiday lets we have stayed in! We would definitely like to go back! Our little Cockapoo loved it too!
- Gemma, March 2019Sandra “The Loft is by far the cleanest and well equipped self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in.”
Everything exceeded our expectations and although it is new, I believe the standards of the accommodation will be maintained. We were lucky enough to meet the owners and they really care about giving a good holiday experience in the accommodation they have created. Because the beaches are so close, it did not matter there was no Fenwick is a lovely village and right on top of the A1 makes it a great place to use as a base to see the most beautiful locations in Northumberland. I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation, it won't disappoint.
