  It was easy to get keys and leave keys via key lock.

  It was quiet with no noise from neighbours through wall and not much in garden. There was a small well equipped galley kitchen. The dining area has a large table which makes it a bit cramped unless move furniture around. The two leather sofas were a bit soft for our tastes. Gas central heating but not used since went in height of summer. Two electric showers but we only used the one over the bath which was very good. Bathroom light not working and reported at end of stay in book. There was a children's play ground around corner within 1 minute walking and an open grass area called a community orchard (behind or west of Arkle Court) – accessed via a footpath at top right hand branch of Arkle Court. Shopping easy; M&S and Sainsbury within 1-2 minute drive in the direction of the access to A1; Co-op and fish & chip shop in direction of Alnwick town centre. Walk to Barter Books and town centre in 15-20 minutes. Easy access to coast with lots of possibilities and quiet in July. Can recommend Craster or Dunstan Sands for walk to Dunstanburgh Castle. Beadnell has hire of water sports equipment, and beach walk from Amble to Low Hauxley/ Druridge beach.

  This is a nice house very well situated and comfortable.

  ..if a little tired in parts...by that we that mean the sofa cushions are flat and haven't been washed for some time...Also the dining chair covers needed washing...The oven tray was rusty and unusable as was the wok...they both need replacing...There were absolutely no instrucions inside or out regarding recycling and waste so we ended up bringing ours home and sorting it out which was a bit of a pain...These are just minor criticisms as the good far outweighs the bad in this house...We would definitely stay here again... Alnwick is a lovely town and the castle is spectacular...Another plus was the M&S food store and Turnbulls food store both within walking distance...Northumberland is absolutely beautiful and the people are very friendly...Nice lady next door. One piece of advice do purchase a National Trust membership if wanting to visit castles, stately homes and gardens and/or English Heritage.

  We had a great time staying in the Mistal for our holiday and hope to be booking it again for next year.

  The cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need even poobags for our dog if needed. The owner kindly left biscuits and milk as well as a vase of flowers for our arrival which was nice. The property is central for coast and country and you can get to the border of Scotland too within a short drive. We were lucky with the weather too but the cottage is a real home from home should you require it in a village which is so quiet the children can play in the street. If you wish to get away from it all and live life in the countryside this is perfect but Alnwick is only a few miles away for all you might need. There is no garden at all here though so take note should you require dog space but plenty walks from the door.

  Just returned from a lovely stay at Tearlach house, a beautifully comfortable home from home with all you could need.

  Ideally placed for exploring the coast, really comfy beds and sofa, lovely power shower too. Loved the bi fold doors in the living room and my daughter loved the soft toys in her room, lots of lovely added extras like tupperware for picnics, boot room porch to take off sandy shoes and a proper washing line came in very handy! The big American fridge freezer was an added bonus and we ordered a food shop to arrive on our first night. Ideally equipped to eat in and although small it provided everything we needed. Little things like providing dishwasher tablets ect were very much appreciated and a lovely welcome hamper greeted us. Thankyou for a lovely stay ! I think it would benefit from more storage but overall,

  A beautiful little house perfect for exploring Northumberland.

  Central to Alnwick within easy walking distance of the castle, garden & town centre & supermarkets right on the doorstep. The house was well decorated, clean and very well equipped, everything had been thought about. The welcome hamper & flowers were a lovely touch on arrival. The bi fold doors to the back garden were perfect for letting the outside in on sunny evenings. My only negative was the house manager turned up at 9.30am on our last day when we weren’t due out until 10am which made us feel under pressure when packing up. This didn’t spoil the overall enjoyment of the house which was a very comfortable place to stay.
