Perfect spot

The location of the house is perfect for visiting various beaches & historic towns, nothing was too far. The house is very well equipped and felt very cosy but with plenty of space, especially with our 2 golden retriever dogs. They also loved the garden, with lots of room to run around. We can definitely see ourselves returning here sometime in the future.

Fantastic!

We would highly recommend this property! Very cozy and homely. The welcome pack of essentials was very much appreciated. There were six of us and two dogs and there was plenty of room for all of us. All bedrooms are a good size. Easy to get to the beaches and surrounding areas. The cottage is located in very picturesque, peaceful surroundings. We instantly felt relaxed and enjoyed our time there immensely. We will hopefully be back and will take our golf clubs next time!

A superb stay

This break was booked for three generations of our family to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday - accompanied by Mum's ever-faithful dog! There were a lot of boxes to tick when sourcing a suitable property, but 'Skyfall' came out top of the shortlist, and delivered beyond our expectations! The location is beautiful: rural, peaceful, with amazing views from the seating areas of the large, lawned front garden; whilst the privacy of the paved, back courtyard is a perfect, quiet retreat. The house is stunning: spacious, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, stylishly decorated & furnished to the highest standards, equipped with everything you could need - and more! Service and communication with the owner was very prompt, clear, helpful and friendly from start to finish. We were sad to leave; we would love to return; and we cannot recommend this property highly enough...

Wonderful 2nd Christmas here

We had a lovely Christmas here again. Every conceivable need met from dog bowls and food mixer to slow cooker and 3 electric ovens Beautiful bedrooms with lovely mattresses pillows and bedding. Plenty of parking, big kitchen table- ideal for playing games, laying out train sets as well as eating Large lounge with plenty of comfortable seating and wood burning stove which kept us warm and toasty This year back garden has been paved so dogs can be outside without getting muddy Only second time in 19 years have stayed in the same cottage twice - think that says it all. Thanks Kate for hosting us

A stunning property in a perfect location!

Kate was fantastic at keeping in touch about the booking, and the property was even better than I’d imagined. Every detail had been thought of, it was just like a home from home. There were a wonderful selection of board games that suited the kids and the grandparents! The front paddock is ideal for dogs as it is fully secure and has a lovely seating area. Even the kitchen has everything you need including a huge selection of condiments! We visited Holy Island, Bamburgh, & Craster, all of which were within close driving distance. All in all a perfect place- and the best cottage we’ve ever rented. Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic property in a beautiful and peaceful location

What a fantastic find! We had a wonderful fortnight staying at 'Skyfall' cottage for our first visit to Northumberland. The property was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and had everything we needed. Despite not actually meeting face to face, the owner was very responsive and helpful in answering questions via email. The location is beautiful and so peaceful and the children (aged 7 and 10) loved having the large garden to run around in. There were plenty of places to visit - all within about 30/40 minutes drive - including of course the gorgeous sandy beaches, castles, parks and gardens. Hope to return one day!

Beautiful cottage, furnished to a very high standard, well equipped accommodation. Large garden (paddock) for children and dogs to play safely in. This superb cottage is situated In a small hamlet with wonderful countryside views and quiet country lanes. A car needed to access shops, pubs, beaches and castles. This cottage and the countryside surroundings exceeded our family expectations, certainly deserves a five star rating.
