Mr Templeman
Not a bad place to stay if you do not mind the constant barking from the neighbours dogs or the drilling from the builders in the attached property. Disappointed that we were not advised about the building works.

A lovely cottage in a peaceful rural area. No shops nearby. Furnishings of a high standard and rather quirky in the bedrooms. Sewing machines and post boxes as bedside tables. There are hairdryers in both bedrooms even though it’s not mentioned in the facilities. Bedroom 1 had a kingsize bed with memory foam mattress and second bedroom has a normal double bed. High quality appliances in the kitchen and huge tv in the lounge. Unfortunately, no table or chairs for meals in the garden.

Lovely accommodation. Well equipped. Weather was really kind for walking. Would recommend walks around Dunstanburgh, Craster and Low Newton by The Sea and also Bamburgh and Seahouses.
