    The host is lovely and very helpful. We had a great stay. Unfortunately the picture of the front of the cottage is inaccurate as there is no tarmac drive at the front door, there is only a small path which limits access and also a garden fence

    There is plenty of space, lots of comfortable beds and the whole cottage is finished to a high standard. I just wish we lived there! The proximity to Bamburgh Beach was also great - we had several trips there, even on the coldest and windiest of days, to build sandcastles. Our eldest also enjoyed celebrating her 8th birthday at Sawmill Cottage which was the perfect last day of our holiday there. Vicky and Steve were also really helpful whenever we needed them (there was a problem with water supply the week we were there but they provided plenty of drinking water and have subsequently been super helpful gathering and keeping to the side several bits we left behind post Christmas packing up chaos!). Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - thank you :)

    Very spacious and comfortable. Has everything you need to make it home from home. Excellent location for visiting local places. So many areas just 10 mins aaay from here. The owner is very kind, friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. She lives on site but keeps out of the way but is there should you need anything. It was tastefully decorated for Christmas and we were left a lovely welcome pack. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I’d definitely recommend and stay again however not with the introduction of dogs being welcome.
