• "We loved the Hideaway, it's a beautiful property and we were made to feel very welcome"

• "The Hideaway was the perfect getaway for us and our pooch."

  We were amazed at how well appointed it was for the cost. The bed was large and comfortable with plenty of storage including that in the bathroom. A very generous welcome pack plus little extras was much appreciated. The Hideaway is well situated to visit the many places of interest and Belford itself is less than 5 minutes walk and provides all that is needed for a self catering break. We would definitely choose this accommodation when we next visit the area.

• "We had a fabulous week at the Hideaway."

  The property was spotless, comfortable and warm, and a perfect size for myself, my 12 yo daughter and our two cairn terriers. It was well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self-catering break. The owner, Paula, is very friendly and welcoming and kindly left lovely packs of goodies for the humans and for the doggies too. The location of the cottage is perfect. Belford itself has a few pubs, a coffee shop, a chippy and a co-op grocery store and Berwick-upon-Tweed, Lindisfarne, Bamburgh and Seahouses, are all less than 25 minutes drive away. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much for everything Paula, from Michelle, Lily, Dougal & Daisy, hope to see you again next year!

  This was our first visit to Northumberland from North Wales. The property location was idealy situated for our winter break. The bus service with stops close to the property allowed us to easily explore the coast both north and south with ease. The weather was sub zero but dry during our stay. The property was lovely and cosy warm during this period. We would highly recommend the Hideaway. The welcome pack of daily essentials was a pleasant surprise and most appreciated. 5+ star rating from us.

  Minor drawbacks are that parking is around the opposite side of the property to the access door, and that the occupant appears to have no control on when the heating comes on although you can shut down the radiators if on when you don’t need them.

  If what you're looking for is a quiet, very well equipped & comfortable base with easy access to all the stunning highlights of beautiful Northumberland, you won't be disappointed if you choose to stay at this gorgeous & extremely doggy friendly property.
