A real home from home. A well equipped kitchen, games to play in the lounge. We had a lovely time, thank you. We had amazing food at The Lord Crewe in Bamburgh and a great burger at The Pack Horse, Ellingham, thank-you for the suggestions. Two very different eating places but both served lovely food and friendly service.

A few minor issues (which did not detract from our experience) were communicated at the end of our stay via the feedback forms provided, and the owner acknowledged receipt of these shortly after we had left.
