"Lovely property, very comfortable, spacious and warm."
Good position within the village- close to pubs and restaurants. Bit of an issue with the electric gate sticking shut but this was dealt with promptly- probably just needs a full service.
Would definitely recommend the cottage.

"Another fabulous stay at Charlton Cottage, a real home from home but with the splendor of a magnificent castle & outstanding beach on the doorstep."
The cottage was spotless on arrival & with some new paintwork & furniture since our last visit. The chrome in the bathrooms had been buffed to gleaming - we needed sunglasses on

"Charlton Cottage is in an ideal location in Bamburgh."
Just minutes away from the beach and the beautiful Bamburgh Castle. The cottage was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The photos don’t do it justice. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is large and very well equipped, everything you need for self catering. We had a problem e we it the hot water but this was dealt with very quickly ( within 30 minutes) by Northumbria Cottage. We would highly recommend and hopefully will stay there again

"We were very happy (and pleasantly surprised) to find a property to meet our specification of six adults, one toddler and two dogs."
We had some wariness that we would be falling over each other in a "cottage" but on arrival such wariness was dispelled. The cottage is a Tardis and we had plenty of room. The layout of the property is excellent and has clearly been well thought through. The attention to detail regarding provision of kitchen equipment and fixtures and fittings is exceptional. The availability of three car parking spaces in the gated yard was a welcome bonus. Very minor improvement feedback would relate to the intermittent WiFi and the provision of a further front or back door key would have been helpful.

"The property was surface clean but that was it."
It was dirty. Carpets needed cleaning, the sofa covers were filthy. They are loose covers so why weren’t these changed for clean covers? Bathroom door surrounds dirty. Fittings generally in need of tlc or replacing. Mattress and pillow protectors dirty stained.
Large damp issue in double bedroom.
Mirror in bathroom tatty all shells fallen off needs disposing. Bins were full of rubbish on arrival and the back yard was muddy! The extractor fan did not work In the shower room. The radiator in the lounge had been broken since Feb 2023 according to the note attached to it! This cottage is priced too high for the condition. It’s such a shame as location and size, layout were perfect for us. However we will not be returning as it was just so dirty we could not relax as we should have been able to do. I have some photos to support these issues if required.
Thank you for your feedback. If we were made aware of these issues during your stay it would have been in our best interest to ensure that any issues were resolved. We are very sorry to hear you were not happy with the cottage. We have a fantastic team of cleaners and they always report back with any shortfalls with regards any issues ie new bedding, carpet cleaning, breakages etc. However as in every year the property has been taken off in January for a thorough maintenance and inventory check . This year new carpets are being fitted and new sofa covers amongst other items. Annual redecoration. We try very hard to maintain this very popular cottage to a high standard on a weekly basis and apologise that it was not up to the usual standard.

"We love Charlton Cottage."
A few minor niggles this year were:
Oven door difficult to close
Kettle is a bit hit and miss and won't always stay switched on.
Door to bedroom off the lounge sticks slightly
The above did not affect our stay and we would stay here every year if we could!
Loved it, thank you

"A little worn in places."
Child suzed dirty hand print on the wall by the front door.
Heating was a bit too warm for us.
Key fob for gate worn and very difficult to use. Also no instructions for closing gate manually (needed on leaving)
Disturbed early one morning by a gas delivery with no notice.
BUT amazing cottage. Beautifully decorated and furnished. So comfy and homely. One of the best we have stayed in. Gorgeous kitchen. Brilliant location. Great safe parking.

"We enjoyed our stay at Charlton cottage - the position was great."
And we had fun. The layout of the cottage is good. The shower room floor needed attention - and maybe a coat of paint here and there. The kitchen was well equipped but a little dark but I think we will return it’s a a great location in a stunning area

"The owner had provided a bottle of wine upon arrival, a nice touch, but as we cooked at the cottage several nights, it would have been nice to at least have had the salt and pepper pots filled!"
It is tedious to have to take EVERYTHING to a rental. We left a note for the owner regarding a dangerous kettle (lid fell off when pouring) and a rocky, wobbly wet room floor. The cottage was otherwise well stocked, clean and had comfy beds.

"Charlton Cottage is a lovely, comfortable and homely cottage."
It's in a brilliant position, in the centre of Bamburgh village. I think the courtyard is in need of a little TLC though. One of the outdoor chairs was broken, it needed weeding and the 2 plant pots were as dry as a bone. My husband soaked them and one of them came back to life!
Dear Julie - you must of just missed the new garden furniture which had been on order for several weeks and arrived this week. Apologies that the courtyard was not up to standard during your stay.

"Charlton Cottage is a beautifully and thoughtfully decorated cottage."
It offers comfort and luxury in the heart of the beautiful village of Banburgh, perfectly situated between an excellent pub (dog friendly) and café. This comfortable cottage offers a cosy retreat, with an open fire for cold winter evenings. This is a great base to explore the Northumbria coast, including Banburgh Castle (walking distance); Farne Islands, Holy Island and Alnwick Castle.
