What an amazing week we had at the ranch. From the moment we arrived. The personalised welcome and the hamper of goodies. The photos do not do the place justice. It is so much more spacious . The views of the castle are something else and the night sky was stunning. We stayed as a family with three teenagers. The lack of reception and no WiFi bought welcome relief. We had a busy week visiting all the local castles, holy idland, Scotland by train and having lovely food from the nearby seashouses. What a place and what an area of the country.

Lovely cottage only a few minutes walk from the beautiful beach at Bamburgh. Owners are on hand if needed and welcoming. The lack of mobile signal and internet made it difficult to plan days out... a drive into Seahouses for signal solved this but as a positive it did get the kids off their phone. Apart from this a comfy sofa to relax on rather than the upright chairs would make it perfect.
