  • "This property is not suitable for 6 adults."

    The kitchen does not have enough saucepans to cook for 6, 1 medium and 1 small pan and a frying pan. There is not even a vegetable peeler. The refrigerator does not have a freezer box. The sofa in the lounge is extremely uncomfortable. It's generally under equipped, 1 bed side light per room, 1 pillow per person. No curtains on the door and window in the main bedroom, during the summer the light would be very bright. Generally it is very basic. We left a day early as it was so uncomfortable.

  • "It was a superb holiday venue for a disabled person."

    The owner was very proactive in providing additional aids to help mobility around the property. The cottage is in a lovely quiet village and has a beautiful, private outside seating area. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in the cottage and plan to book in the future.

    Thank you for your review I appreciated meeting you and your family to discuss the small changes that could be made to help the disabled and elderly have better access around the property. I will follow up on your daughter’s recommendations & hope to welcome you back in the future Property Owner

  • "Lovely bungalow and ideal for the 2 of us."

    Would be a stretch for 6 people space and equipment wise. Note access to the dining table is through a bedroom and down a step. Also steps into the garden so no good if need level access. Plenty of parking space. Very comfy beds.

    Thank you for kind review. I’ll improve the level access to the garden by paving the area. I will look into access to conservatory - maybe with use of a ramp. I’ve installed a shower seat & there is a wheeled walking frame for our disabled guests. I shall make the ramped access to the property a permanent feature. Hope to welcome you back again.

About the location

WIDDRINGTON

Morpeth 8.4 miles; Amble 6 miles;

Widdrington is a village located around eight miles north east of Morpeth, an ideal place for exploring the county of Northumberland in an area wonderful for walkers, cyclists and bird-watchers. The local parish church is Grade I listed and dates to the Norman era, commanded by elevated ruins of the 18th century Widdrington Castle. The country park at Druridge Bay is less than two miles away and the bustling little seaport of Amble, situated at the mouth of the River Coquet, can also be reached easily. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters - the daily catch can be bought at a fish shop in the harbour. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks, which boat trips can be arranged around. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster, as well as numerous superb beaches, are only a short drive away, whilst the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are also within easy reach. Be sure to visit picturesque Warkworth and its castle, plus the charming town of Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens too.
