Absolutely Superb.. Views were excellent. Animals (Lambs) kept us in laughter with their antics. Will certainly go back again.

Lovely cottage and fantastic views, would highly reccomend anyone to visit!

Mrs Parsons

Excellent booking service.. The cottage is very well equipped and in a stunning location. Easy walk to the beach and castle. The cottage, swimming pool and changing rooms are immaculately clean The only downside to this cottage is that there is a chicken shed outside the twin bedroom and the Cockerels crow constantly from dawn, (not what you want on holiday!).

Mr Neighbour

Great stay again.. ..now the 3rd visit, however, as we have commented on before when asked, there is no welcome pack of any description. No flowers, no bread , no milk no sign of anything to "welcome" us to the property. We have had catering/hospitality experience and gave all the above plus a small decanter of Sherry in each room, chocolates, cakes etc! And charged a fraction of the price you do. Please please do something to make our stay more "welcoming" next time

Simple to use low deposits and good communication.. Also a wide range of properties. Can't fault them.

The ten minute walk to the beach was a little on the optimistic side unless you are Usain Bolt.. Other than that an excellent property in a superb location.

Overall a very lovely, clean and comfortable cottage with a stunning location and gorgeous sea views.. The only slight issue we had is that there was no outside table and chairs. We had a bench which sat two people at a pinch and a child's size picnic bench. We had expected patio furniture to enable us to sit and eat outside and this would have made the cottage perfect for us. Having said that, this did not affect our fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage and we would return again.

Mr Roy

Bank Top is in a wonderful position and the North Farm Cottages complex is excellent.. I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone. The cottage was excellent, view superb with a lovely 20 minute walk across the fields to the beach and all brimming with wildlife. We had Brown Hares right up to the front door late evening and early morning, and saw Fox and Roe Deer. The birds - Skylarks, Yellowhammers , Swallows, Wagtails, and Reed Buntings around Newton Pond were in abundance, as well as Eider ducks with their ducklings, on the sea. The Farne Islands is an amazing experience , though I was concerned about the effect that the number of visitors was having on the site and the birds; some were abusing the Arctic Terns just to get photographs, which was not right. This was our first visit to Northumberland and we loved it. Embleton is a very convenient centre, with a garage/small shop and petrol at a comparable price, Post Office/small shop and several places for a meal , including the Dunstanburgh Hotel which was very good. Spectacular scenery, friendly people, hardly any traffic, beautiful empty beaches, coastal walks second to none, and all litter-free - a rare treat !! What more could you want ?! A beautiful and unspoilt part of the countryside.
