  • The cottage is convenient to the A1 but you feel you are in the middle of nowhere as you have views of the countryside from all windows. A great place to relax and recharge.

  • Visited last week for a 4 night break - from booking to arrival Victoria was helpful and responded quickly to queries. On arrival cottage was clean and welcoming, with the treats as outlined by others much appreciated - wine, eggs and cookies ! We have not been to the area before, so had a lovely time exploring the beaches and coastline - we couldn't get over how amazing the beaches are, which were generally deserted and very clean. We ventured out for a couple of meals , enjoying St. Aidens bistro, and then ate in a couple of nights - kitchen well equipped for preparing meals. I have to mention the beds - really comfy with lovely linen. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return - so much to see and do in the area.

  • Amazing few days at Shearling Cottage We had a really lovely stay here. The cottage is immaculate, cosy and in a beautiful part of Northumberland. Everything in the cottage was extremely clean and it has everything you could possibly need. The coastal walks are fantastic and there are plenty of pubs / restaurants near by which all do amazing food - the Potted Lobster, the Pack horse and the Apple Inn to name a few. Thank you Victoria!
