"We enjoyed our stay so much, I had high expectations for this modern cottage but they were exceeded."
I have worked in the holiday cottage industry in the Lake District and have seen and inspected a lot of holiday properties, this is up there with the best. It was tasteful (loved the William Morris touches) warm and so very, very comfortable.
Everything about Orchard Cottage was as generous and high quality as as the welcome pack. Luxury touches were where they were needed, linen, mattresses, hand soap etc, but the finishes were visitor proof which allowed us to relax and not worry about a two year old causing damage, that is a very hard balance to strike.
Cleanliness was excellent and cleaning products were supplied, always a bonus, the kitchen was very well equipped and we wanted for nothing.. We discovered a high chair, travel cot, step up and various toys in a cupboard which our grandson enjoyed. The bookshelves were well stocked with books, board games, jigsaws and we really appreciated the guest membership to Netflix one very stormy day! There were so many thoughtful touches such as outdoor seating dotted around to catch the sun, when it deigned to shine, and we were fortunate there too.
The location is excellent - quiet, peaceful, with wildlife on the doorstep. It is within walking distance of Craster and there are many paths from the cottage if you want to leave the car at home. It is a very good base for so many lovely places along the NE coast. Our son in law did a 10+ mile run each morning and returned invigorated. The icing on the cake was seeing the Northern lights on two separate nights. We certainly hope to return.

"Excellent property, and probably one of the best we have stayed in for cleanliness and facilities."
Very helpful and friendly owner. Lovely quiet village, but easy access to all attractions. From the property saw rabbits, deer, and a kestral. Also saw seals, dolphins, curlew, herons and lots more wildlife. Embleton beach is amazing, and would definitely return to this bungalow.

"We were a group of four adults sharing this new build high spec house in Dunstan very near to Craster."
The property was ideal for a very comfortable stay in a beautiful location with a great view from the open plan kitchen/living room. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. This is a ideal house for anyone wanting to explore the coastal paths or to visit nearby Alnwick. Highly recommended.

"What a lovely property 1 Orchard Cottages is."
It’s modern, spacious, open plan with fabulous full length windows making it light & airy but lovely leather sofa & wood burning stove makes it cosy after dark too. Well equipped kitchen, super comfy beds, so tidy throughout & very clean. Everything & more for a relaxing week away. Near enough to Craster & the coastal path & an amazing dark sky with the added bonus for us, a view of the Northern Lights! Can’t wait to visit again.

"This is the perfect property in the perfect location for a stay on the Northumberland Coast."
It is walking distance to Craster, Dunstanburgh Castle, Howick Hall (Circular Walk) and many more. It’s a short drive from Amble and Berwick upon Tweed and all points in between. The cottage is modern, clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. It also has the most amazing views. The cherry on the cake is the Cottage Inn pub and restaurant which is a short stroll away and serves hearty meals at a very reasonable price. Perfect.

"Superb cottage in a great location within easy walking distance of the coast."
Lots of places to visit nearby. Great local places to eat. House is very modern with all the equipment we could wish for, including a gas BBQ. House is also eco-friendly and best of all for an allergy sufferer, no pets allowed - apart from the local rabbits and deer! Lovely welcome pack on arrival and great art work by the owner. If we visit the area again we would definitely stay here again.
