All the facilities needed for a home from home, modern with beautiful decor, great location near road, but peaceful, close to corner garage fuel station. Property was very spaceous - almost 100% perfect

This stay was almost 100% perfect however some minor areas for improvement would be some pans needed cleaning before use, same for some cutlery/crocery; no fuel/fire starting kit was left for the log burning stove in the basket, but soon popped to the garage a few 100 metres away, to get some.

The location was perfect for our family holiday as we had family staying on Holy Island. The house was extremely clean and well stocked with quality fixtures and fittings. There is, however, an issue with the location link on the website as it takes you to The Coach House in Lowick which is 6 miles from Beal, is a completely different building as is listed as 'permanently closed'. I only found this out when the final details were sent out a week before we were about to go. I contacted Air BnB and the first person I spoke to didn't have local knowledge and didn't understand the problem. The second person I contacted, however, was aware of this mistake and sent me accurate details and also did what I asked for to have contact with the owners. The call centre is in the Phillipines apparently. The housekeeper, Jean, who just lives a few miles away, contacted me and was extremely helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend this venue as a perfect base to access local attractions.

lovely place, BUT no TV all weekend wasn't tuned, 6 adults couldn't sort it, broken extractor fan, cooking full breakfast we had to have all windows opened, stained sofa, not nice to relax on, twin room decorative cushions stained, kitchen cupboards some dirty. Both baths running, lack of hot water.
very underwhelmed!!!

It was just the right spot for our visit to the Holy Isle...

Just a small point... I am just remembering.. The heating came on even though it was hot outside.. It did not detract from our stay.

Spacious, clean and tidy, well equipped kitchen, excellent bathrooms, comfy beds, and very efficient central heating. Beautifully placed for Lindisfarne with a handy local shop, cafe (when it opens!)! and petrol station 100 yds away. Would definitely stay here again!

The location is superb for exploring Northumbria and the property is very spacious inside with all the amenities you would need.
Then property just needs a bit of attention to bring it up to a high standard and the cleaning could also be better.
Some of the issues we raised during our stay (broken garden furniture) was sorted very quickly with a brand new replacement arriving within 48 hours.
Overall the property is good value but could be even better with a bit of TLC.

Lovely recently renovated cottage. Spacious rooms and well equipped. Just off the A1 but noise was not an issue. Great location for visiting Lindisfarne.

Location was perfect. We were just sorry we had to cut out stay by a day. The cottage had everything we needed.

Cosy space. Would be better if the second double bed could be split for the children but cosy beds and lovely bedding.

The location was ideal, especially for exploring Northumberland and it is a good space. I do feel that there are teething issues. I wasn't happy to receive an email after booking insisting I pay an extra fee for damage protection. This is included in the listing buried towards the end but this didn't detail how much this fee would be. If this is going to be the case then more transparency is needed as the cancellation policy doesn't allow a full refund after booking. The house was clean enough but there were stains on some of the bedding and towels and hair on the pillowcases. I contacted them & they sent someone to change them. Sofas had some stains along with some of the cushions. The listing mentions 'luxury' but this didn't feel like luxury. A bit more investment in the linens and pillows goes a long way. The amenities list has cooking basics like oil, salt and pepper but there was no oil and the salt grinder was old & empty. All in all, small details but they make a difference.

The location of the property was excellent and check in was easy. However the property not to the standard as described, the property lacked general cleanliness and was very tired. Needs some TLC to be a home as advertised. Thank you

We enjoyed our stay - stunning views and incredibly close to Holy Island and a lovely cafe (with sheep!) on the way.
The house is super spacious, with a fully kitted out kitchen and utility room so that we could spend a good 2 weeks there. The house is tucked away and the back yard doesn't have any onlookers so it felt lovely and private.
Definitely a great place to stay if you're a tourist in the area!

Great place and location. wasn't hugely impressed at having to pay an additional insurance fee. it wasn't much, but enough to be annoying.

The house is absolutely beautiful, way bigger than it looks from the outside and decorated perfectly to our taste. Exceptionally clean and had pretty much all facilities we required. This is one of the best located houses you could want. It was within short driving distance of everything we had planned.

The only drawback we had was that the grass had not been cut for some time and was somewhat overgrown. Not ridiculously long, but long enough that because it was wet it was completely unusable for the kids to play on which they were disappointed about.

This place is well located for exploring the area. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked with appliance and utensils. Lovely clean bathrooms. Good towels and bed linen.

We couldn't find any logs or matches/lighter for the wood burner. So had to go out to the local garage to find these.
