This is an excellent standard for a holiday let. Well stocked kitchen complete with Aga and electric ovens, 2 really good sized bedrooms, the beds are very comfortable and a much better quality than you come to expect in a holiday let. Designated off road private parking spot. Warm and cozy with plenty of space to settle in. Perfect location, it’s literally across the road from the dunes and beach. The owners are very welcoming but also offer you privacy. Lovely welcome pack. The village has multiple eating/drinking outlets to suit all budgets and is a few minutes walk from the property.

A perfect break for us. The accommodation was so clean and well equipped. The location was great, 2 minutes from the dunes, 5 min from the beach, and a short walk onto Bamburgh and all the amenities there. The owners, Ann and Alex were friendly and helpful, and we would love to return.

The Ranch is a perfect home from home with everything you need and more besides. The photos don't do it justice, it's bigger than it looks. Warm, comfortable, with very good quality bedding etc. In a perfect position opposite the sand dunes with a short walk into Bamburgh. Ann was very welcoming as were the gifts she left us for our holiday. We actually had lovely weather while we were there but not warm enough to sit out, although I would imagine in the summer it will be a proper sun trap. All in all a great holiday in a lovely cottage. Thank you.
