The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs which was a huge plus. The cottage itself was comfortable and lovely and had everything one could need. There are enjoyable walks on the doorstep, and of course the splendid beaches of Embleton and Beadnell are just minutes drive away. Would definitely recommend this property. In fact, will probably rebook next year.
