Reception by owners was welcoming and helpful.. Cosy feeling about the cottage. Visited old and new haunts. My sister and I, plus my Norwegian Elkhound loved the different beaches and Druridge Bay Country Park. Great area for eating and very dog friendly.

Mrs Teasdale

A very well equipped cottage for ourselves and dog, a very warm welcome from the owners, a lovely welcome pack of milk, wine, t-bags, logs for the fire-even the fire laid ready just for a match and fresh flowers on the table.. A fabulous location, set in a quiet area but within reach of all local amenities. 10 minutes walk to the beach, ideal for the dog. A local farm has a vending machine with great fresh milk and cream in glass bottles.Lots of information about the local area, best places to go, best places to eat in a welcome pack folder Do not be surprised by the warm welcome from the friendly locals wherever you go. We have stayed in this area in other cottages for the past four years, but this is by far the must superior cottage we have stayed in - in fact, we returned home yesterday 30th March and have rebooked this morning for same time next year

Had a fantastic week in a beautiful part of the country.. Middle cottage was a perfect, clean and cozy base and exceeded our expectations as a dog friendly holiday let. Pam and Andy provided a home from home stay with simple finishing touches that made your stay more comfortable.

The owners have thought of every little detail to make our holiday truly one to remember.. All you need to take is clothes and food , there's even a complimentary bottle of milk and wine in the fridge upon arrival. We were that impressed we have booked again for next year .

Mr Bowden

A very warm welcome from the owners.. Great location with dog friendly beach within a few minutes walk. Ideal base for touring Northumberland coastline. Amble, with a traditional fishing harbour, is on the doorstep. Very close to Druridge bay national park and its vast beach. Highly recommended.

Mrs Sadler

August 2018

Middle Cottage was extremely comfortable and provided a very well located base for walks with the dogs on the local beach.. The owners were very welcoming and there when we arrived to make sure we had everything and knew where things were. A very nice surprise was the bottle of wine in the fridge! The beds were comfortable and plenty of things to do if we wanted in the cottage. We would highly recommend the cottage. And if we visited Northumberland again would definitely plan to return.

Mrs Ross

July 2018

Lovely warm welcome from the owners Pam and Andy.. Cosy cottage with everything you need, set in beautiful surroundings.

Mrs Williams

The cottage was well equipped, had a pretty garden and was comfortable and cosy.. However we found it small and thought it would be better suited to a couple with no children or dogs. We had one child aged 9 plus a Labrador. Although the cottage was well equipped in the kitchen, the icing on the cake would have been a dishwasher. The owners Pam & Andy were very welcoming. We enjoyed our time in Northumberland and found plenty to see and do, including catching crabs, two lobsters and a starfish on the beach.

Mrs Price

Cosy cottage excellent location

Mrs Albon

Lovely cottage, flowers, milk, tea coffee, etc and a bottle of wine to greet us on arrival, plus owners talked us through all the facilities, Cottage larger than expected.. Easy to walk to beach (though not the best local one for dogs). Fantastic and quiet beaches for the dogs, which they and we loved. Good nature reserve with hides run by Northumbria Wildlife Trust on doorstep. Could hear the roseate terns on Coquet Island from the dunes. So much to see and do, a week is no where near long enough. Of course, the weather helped. People very friendly and helpful.

Mrs Bywater

One of the best equipped cottages we have used.. This was a repeat visit and were welcomed by Andy and Pam who are very attentive.

A lovely cottage in a peaceful location.. The cottage was extremely well equipped and the owners very friendly and welcoming. It was only a ten minute easy walk to the beach so perfect every morning with the dog's. The cottage had a very pretty and totally safe garden for the dogs which meant a relaxing time for us.

Mr Dent

May 2016

We thought the property and location were very good, we could not find any faults with the cottage. The owner waited for us to arrive and showed us around the property and explained how every thing worked. Our dogs thought that the cottage location which was close to the beach was great and we spent every day on it. We enjoyed the holiday that much that we have already booked the cottage again for next year.

The owners made me feel so welcome and at home. The cottage was amazing! You can tell how much care they put into making it a memorable stay for anyone who visits. The cottage was very spacious, had a wonderful and relaxed feel, so well accommodated, amazing water pressure, very comfortable beds, wi-fi access, a spectacular sitting room and amazing wood cabinetry in the kitchen. The neighbours were very kind and being so close to the sea was great. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation!

The attention to detail and thoughtfulness of the owners was really appreciated, with plenty of household items provided. The garden was genuinely dog proof.
