Welcoming pack was fantastic and added to the stay together with the complimentary coffee and machine. Garden was secure and ideal for dogs. Would highly recommend

No negatives at all only positives. Furnished and equipped to the highest standard, very welcoming and warm with everything that you could need and more thought of by the owners. Only 4mins walk to the wonderful beach and even less to the shops and many places to eat. In a great position for getting out and about. Visited Alnmouth, Newbiggin-by-Sea, Amble and Seaton Sluice (excellent fish & chip shop). Tynemouth held a great weekend craft/food market within the station. Spent the day in nearby Newcastle, what a great city. Will definitely recommend.

It was even better than it looked in photos and bigger than expected. It was luxurious but felt homely and relaxing. The welcome pack was the best weâve ever had and even included doggy treats. Location between beach and town (2 minutes either way) was excellent.
