Swan’s Nest and Cygnet Cottage are set in the heart of Belford, a charming village tucked away close to the fabulous heritage coastline. Close to Bamburgh, but equally close to the stunning countryside of Northumberland, and only a short drive to the National Park too. These two comfortable cottages, both with a handy ground floor bathroom, are located in a small courtyard near the local pub that also belongs to the owners, with a lovely restaurant and live music on weekends.
With everything you need for a self-catering break for couples or a small family. The small courtyard area has sitting-out areas and a shared BBQ area should you want to dine alfresco. A great location for your holiday or a well-deserved short break to relax and unwind.
The village has a great community spirit with three good local pubs, a few bespoke shops and coffee shops, as well as a very handy supermarket only 400 yards from the doorstep. The Belford Museum hosts exhibitions and the local farm shop at the top of the village sticks lots of organic produce with a great choice of coffee and ales in the on-site café.
A lovely walk to St Cuthbert’s Cave is only a few miles from Belford where the Lindisfarne (Holy Island) monks reputedly took St Cuthbert’s body in AD875 following the Viking road on Holy Island. Nearby Budle Bay has thousands of waders on the tidal lagoon a beautiful sight looking over to the island. A local bus takes you to the popular coastal villages of Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh should you wish to leave your car behind. Whether you explore the coast, the countryside or entwine both, Swan’s Nest is perfectly located and a cosy welcoming base to return to after a day exploring this super friendly county, reputedly the friendliest county in England, steeped in history and folklore.

Very good

A very basic standard of accommodation, the beds weren’t very comfortable, the TV was tiny and only Freeview channels available. The outside area was like a junk yard and parking was tricky in terms of getting back out on to the road. No communication prior to our stay so we had no idea of the check in process. Ok for a 2 night stay but won’t be returning.
