We've just had a peaceful few days at Pepperpot, beautifully clean, really comfortable bed and peaceful surroundings. Instructions to find were confusing but used instructions left by a previous user to find. Would happily return.

Great little getaway in Northumberland. Handy location. Easy check in with responsive hosts. Hopefully it will get a little bit of maintenance and freshening up soon but otherwise, a really good space.

The Pepperpot is perfectly placed for exploring Northumberland, and was a great place to spend a few days over half term. The only drawback is the company who manage the property on behalf of the owners. We arrived (based on their directions and postcode) at a completely different property, and when calling the company they were no help whatsoever in locating where we were staying, leaving us to drive around in the dark ourselves for half an hour only finding the Pepperpot based on the reviews of other AirBnB users. The requirement for a £250 retainer on the booking (returnable but comes with a mandatory £10 admin fee) is bizarre. The owner (Steve) was very apologetic when we eventually found the Pepperpot, however he was clearly frustrated by Host and Stay (the management company). However, once checked in we had an brilliant stay. We just wish Host and Stay weren’t involved! You can book direct with the owners (details in the guestbook), so odd that they have outsourced to them

Everything was spotlessly clean and we loved the peace and quiet because it's away from main roads. There is so much of interest in the region, but you need to plan visits before your stay, to pick out the thngs that appeal to you the most. This was our 3rd trip to Northumberland and the first time at the Pepper Pot, but we intend revisiting at a future date.

Lovely property in a great setting. Very clean with modern bathroom. Best for people who like to eat out as kitchen facilities are limited. The main issue with this property is the added costs which all seem to relate to Host and Stay. The nightly rate at c£150 should cover cleaning but you have to pay an extra £50 for this. In addition you are required to pay a £25 damage waiver in case you break a cup - the alternative is you give host and stay £250 for 3 weeks and they charge you £10 for the pleasure of holding your money. We have stayed at many different AirBnB homes in several countries and never come across host and stay before - we will avoid them in future.

If you follow the sat-nav instructions, ignore the last “turn left” and go straight on, up the hill about 200 yards and turn right into the farm yard and the Pepper Pot is right in front of you. When found it is well worth it, a well equipped, comfortable and private little dwelling with easy access to Alnwick and the coast.

Amazing few days at The Pepper Pot. The barn conversion has been completed to a very high standard. We enjoyed exploring Northumberland using The Pepper Pot as a cosy base.

Absolutely loved our stay at The Pepper Pot! The rumours are true - the bed is lush😍. Beautifully designed, cosy and just the right amount of space for two people and two dogs (in our case, two cocker spaniels). The shower is powerful, the TV has all the modern features (Netflix etc) and you take the dogs out on a lovely walk right from the door. We had many bunnies hopping along the grass in front and even spotted the beautiful barn owl! The peacefulness is the best. So quiet and tranquil. Alnwick is a short 5min taxi ride and great for meal and a few drinks at night or a stroll around in the day. Literally everywhere and everyone is just so lovely! Great location to visit other areas in Northumberland too. Michelle is lovely, she will happily respect your privacy and leave you be but is on hand to help at anytime and has great advice on the local area! 10/10 would stay again.

Lovely place, great access to local beaches and towns. Check in easy, however postcode took us to the farm next door. A what three words location or more description might be good. Overall very clean and tidy property but there were some fake plants in the bedroom which were in desperate need of a dust/clean. Kitchen facilities good however there is only a microwave/ oven which works well but is small if you want to cook pizza for example wouldn’t really fit. We took our dog and I had tried to find any dog rules beforehand and there was nothing on the site etc however a rules list when we arrived, would be good to see these before arriving. A great property and would definitely stay again

Absolutely beautiful. The scenery of the little cottage, the location, the interior. Such a wonderful getaway. Michelle, the owner, was super helpful when we had a little mouse popping in the kitchen space but that’s expected when you’re at the countryside! But nothing could have knocked how incredible the pepper pot is. 1000/10! Wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem. P.S the mattress was incredible, the best bed we’ve ever slept on WOW.

The accommodation makes great use of the available space and is light and airy. The bed and sofa are really comfortable and everything is really clean. The open hanging space in the bedroom works well and there's a nice little dressing table area in bedroom too. Lovely bathroom and shower. Nice outdoor seating area. Brilliant location, so close to Alnwick, Howick and the coast but on a quiet road so there's no traffic noise when sitting outside. We really enjoyed our stay!

The perfect little place to stay with my husband and our dog, the property is closely located to all of the small towns and beaches. The shower was really powerful, and the bed was super comfy!

We loved our weekend at this beautiful cottage. The location is perfect - so peaceful and quiet and 5 mins from the beautiful Northumberland coast. The cottage has loads of homely touches and feels very cozy and comfortable. It was also perfect for our dog who made herself at home very quickly! Our only regret is we didn’t book a longer stay.

On the face of it the place is amazing, the owners have done a great job converting it into a livable space which is finished to a pretty high standard. The property is also in a great location for exploring Northumberland, about 10/15 minutes in either direction to Alnwick and Craster and only about 30 to Bamburgh. That being said, we had to leave early, 2 nights into our 3 night stay. There were what sounded like numerous rodents roaming the walls and under the floorboards leading to 2 sleepless nights, we couldn’t cope with a third. The owner did come round, apologised and offered to put poison/ traps down however this didn’t comfort us with having a puppy and we already felt rather uncomfortable to know that they were under our feet.

We loved the Pepper Pot. We stayed with our two dogs for 3 nights. The Pepper Pot feels very fresh & new. Modem, relaxing decor, very comfy king bed. Well stocked small galley kitchen. Only a 5 minute drive to Alnwick for evening meals. We had 2 take outs, 1 from Thai Vibe which was excellent, fish & chips from Carlos again excellent. We also ate at The Market Tavern with our dogs, the food again was very good. This was our first visit to Northumberland and will certainly not be our last. There is so much to see. We did the walk from Seahouses to Bamburgh Castle and back along the spectacular beach our dogs loved it. We had lunch at The Copper Kettle in Bambugh scrummy toasted sandwiches & cakes, thoroughly recommend. We visited Dunstanburgh Castle again another fabulous beach walk with the dogs to the castle. There is so much to see & do you won’t be bored. It was always lovely to come back to the peaceful Pepper Pot.

The Pepperpot is a beautiful, well-equipped barn conversion in a wonderful location close to many interesting coastal villages and beaches. It is peaceful and quiet, just the job for a chilling break away from it all. We were welcomed with chocolate, wine and a bottle of milk - the three basic essentials!! Definitely worth another visit.

The Pepper Pot was a lovely place to stay. Beautifully decorated with some tasteful touches and the most comfy king-size bed! A really relaxing environment. We were so lucky with the weather so drinks on the patio were an evening ritual where we were often joined by the resident hens complete with their chicks. A very peaceful place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and hope to visit again in the future. Thank you Michelle and Steve for making us so welcome (And for the wine and chocolate).

What a lovely hideaway! Immaculate and well equipped place. Roomy and airy. Beautifully clean. Lovely welcome and the bottle of ‘milk’ 😉 a nice touch. The photo’s are accurate. We saw rabbits and plenty of bird life from the accommodation including a trio of grouse. Co-op in Longhoughton for groceries. Five minutes drive to Alnwick. Excellent position to access all that Northumberland has to offer.
