  • "This was in the perfect location for us to access all the sightseeing we wanted to do."

    We both loved the view be it sunny or misty. The cottage was very comfortable and homely, it had everything we needed for self catering. It was a pleasure getting back there after our days out. The gardens for me were a beautiful palce to just sit and relax. Many Thanks.

  • "We loved the cottage, it was very comfortable, had lovely views, and was ideally situated to visit the area."

    We plan to visit again in the future and will definitely look to stay at the cottage.

  • "We enjoyed our stay, the lounge was comfy with a great view and it was very clean."

    However our stay was spoiled because of the double bed. Firstly, it should have been a king size, to cater for all heights of people, but mainly it was the poor fitting mattress, which was very shallow and worn. Plus the wooden edges of the bed meant that this dug into my legs as I got in and out. I noticed another holidaymaker commented on this as well. The owners may well be perfectly happy with their bed, but they have to think of the people renting. The cost of our break is not a cheap option any more and a proper bed is essential. ( All hotels now have a KS platform bed with no hard edges and a padded headboard-this would also give more room at the bottom of the bed) Complaining during the stay would have been futile, so I have to do it here. Otherwise we loved the cottage. We sat outside and the garden furniture was much appreciated as was the well equipped if small kitchen. Everything worked which we used and the decor was lovely. We stay in holiday lets about 4 times a year and have done for 30 years and we know that the standard has greatly improved, but we cannot not mention the bed-sorry.

    We have stayed at the cottage a few times and have always found it to be clean and warm the owners have changed the decor furnishings several times between our visits and if you moved in to live there would no need to do anything,we were all very impressed. Dave Joyce Sharon

  • "Nice homely cottage."

    Good quality furnishings. Very close to neighbours. The towels were only small bath towels and only one hand towel provided for two adults. In my opinion, these would have been better if they had been bath sheets and two hand towels provided. The cottage has the most wonderful views.

  • "Lovely rural location,views are splendid, across the fields towards Bamburgh Castle."

    The cottage is attached on either side but luckily both properties were unoccupied. Kitchen is small but usable. The log burner was useful on cool evenings and we brought paper, firelighters and logs with us. Only real issue was a lack of hand/face towels. We would expect more than just a bath towel each and a shared hand towel! Also some milk and a small welcome pack would be a nice touch. In all a lovely stay.

    Great location and felt really homely. We love Northumberland and would absolutely look to rebook this cottage again :-)

  • "Was a lovely location and panoramic view but the cottage left a lot to desire."

    Was very close to neighbours and not real privacy. The master bed mattress was very uncomfortable and I feel time for a replacement. The bed frame also has a footboard which is not good for a taller person like myself. The master bedroom could also do with blackout blinds. The kitchen was very small and no real storage. Photos of kitchen were a bit deceptive on how small it was. The dining table did not have enough space for the four people to sit around and was cramped between wall and couch. There was also a bee problem which was not resolved and we were interrupted the first day of our stay with pest control but obviously they did not resolve the problem. Would have been nice to have a little bit of kindling and firestarter and also more toilet paper for the week. Just felt the bare minimum was done and nothing to really welcome a guest.

  • "Lovely cottage."

    Well appointed and furnished. Warm and comfortable with great views across to Bamburgh and Budle Bay. Perhaps the provision of a pint of milk and some tea bags and coffee for arrival could be a suggestion to make the stay even better. We would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing break. It's in an ideal location to explore the beautiful Northumberland area and especially its magnificent coastline.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay in Bellshill Cottage."

    It was perfectly sized for our family of five and the interior was to a really good standard. Excellent location close to seaside resorts of Bamburgh and Beadnell whilst retaining a rural feel.

  • "Excellent position."

    Very cosy as it was colder than we anticipated. Central heating worked perfectly. Very closed to A1 yet far enough not to hear the traffic. The view from the cottage across the country side was lovely.

  • "A tastefully decorated cottage, very clean."

    Excellent views over to the sea, lovely rural and peaceful location, close to but not too near to the A1, very handy for getting around. We would definitely return and recommend to others.

The property

Belford 3.1 miles.

Nestled into the countryside hamlet of Lucker, near Belford, Bellshill Cottage is a wonderful family property for those who are looking to explore the scenery and sandy beaches of Northumberland.

Be welcomed by the picturesque exterior of this stone cottage, framed by mature trees with a backdrop of countryside fields, and make yourself at home in the sitting/dining room, ideal for warming your feet beside a woodburning stove, surrounded by homely décor and seaside artwork.

The kitchen houses a great many appliances which will make cooking convenient, so why not create a masterpiece from local produce and enjoy a family meal in the dining area?

With two bedrooms, this property will sleep either two adults and two children or three adults, due to the day bed in the single room being suitable for children only.

The double room is a lovely fresh space with lime furniture and storage, and there is a family bathroom great for warming yourself after a long walk through the countryside.

Outside, a delightful gravelled area is bordered by colourful shrubs and allows for expansive views, with a table and chairs perfect for alfresco dining.

Lucker is a remote area with countryside views in abundance, however, for eateries and a convenience store, head over to Belford where you can dine out and stock up on essentials.

Ross Links beach is the closest to the property, however from here you can reach the historic seaside town of Bamburgh, where you will not only find beautiful sandy coastlines and walks in wildlife, but the magnificent Bamburgh Castle towering over the scenery, and a little further away you can visit the historic Holy Island.

Make a family holiday to remember with a stay at Bellshill Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

BELFORD

Alnwick 15 miles; Berwick-upon-Tweed 15 miles; Bamburgh 5 miles.

The picturesque Northumberland village of Belford lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the popular walled towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The pretty coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away. Belford itself is an old coaching village with a pleasant square and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is ideally placed for exploring the Northumbrian Coastal Route, Cheviots, the renowned Northumberland Coastline and the Scottish Borders. The opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from nearby Seahouses, is not to be missed. Alternatively check the tide times and cross to Holy Island to visit the historic Lindisfarne Priory.
