10/10 Excellent
"This is a comfortable cottage in a beautiful and quiet location, not far from Bamburgh and with easy access to the beach at Budle Bay. The cottage is old, but the kitchen and bathroom have been recently modernised. The kitchen has a fridge and electric hob and the bathroom has an electric shower. There is a television in the sitting room, and there is off-road parking. There are no shops or eating places in easy walking distance, but Bamburgh is a 5 minute drive and Seahouses - with many restaurants, pubs and shops - only another 10 minutes away. We were slightly concerned reading earlier reviews of this property, but the owner has clearly fixed the issues mentioned there."
