  • "This was the perfect getaway for my husband and I and our two German shepherds."

    I don't think we've ever stayed in a holiday let with a bigger garden! Prior to visiting, we had seen some comments about a musty smell which when first entering the cottage, we noticed as well but I think that's just inherent to the older property. Once we opened some windows and then warmed up the house, the smell went away. A few more cushions for the sofas would have been nice. Otherwise we had everything we needed.

  • "The cottage and garden were lovely and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay."

    Things I wished I knew before going… The gate to the garden appeared broken and doesn’t lock so not fully secure but my dogs didn’t try to escape. The stairs are a bit of a nightmare as they’re steep and slippy and there’s no way of blocking them off (if going with dogs or small children I would advise taking your own stair gate to avoid accidents). The cottage does also get quite damp now the autumnal weather is here so opening the windows daily is a must!! Also the parking is across the road from the cottage as the lane is too narrow to park outside Overall this cottage is in the perfect location for exploring the area of Northumberland and with a few tweaks it would be amazing! It was very clean when I arrived and the shower room was great!

  • "Amazing week at the cottage."

    The location is just perfect and the cottage was clean and comfortable. The dogs highly recommended the large secure garden. We hope to visit again.

  • "1 Bilton Cottage was great, my family and I really enjoyed our stay."

    I have 3 girls, aged 6, 4 and 18 months and there was plenty of space in the living room and garden for them to enjoy themselves. The cottage is perfectly located and is only a short drive to most places. My only constructive feedback would be the curtains in the bedrooms hang low so we hung towels and blankets over the top to block the morning sunlight and the TV signal was poor but the DVD player was apt for the amount of time we actually spent indoors. I may also suggest the option of having stairgates may help, we brought our own to stop our youngest from climbing the stairs as they are located in the living room. Overall I would rate this cottage highly and would recommend to others.

  • "The cottage was great and we had lovely neighbours."

    The 7 day stay was delightful and the surrounding area is gorgeous! The huge secure garden was brilliant for the greyhounds and they spent a lot of time in it. The cottage had everything we needed. Only issues we had was the steep stairs up to the bedrooms and TV reception on some nights. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and its peaceful location was welcomed. I loved watching the animals - chickens, sheep, pigs and cows as well as the birds like swallows, rooks and pheasants…what a picturesque spot. We walked down to Alnmouth in 25 minutes and it was short car drive to great towns and beaches like Bamburgh, Alnwick, Berwick upon Tweed, Newton by the Sea.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Bilton Farm cottage."

    We have been before and all was as we expected it. The garden is wonderful for the dog and we could let him wander about as he wanted which is a great bonus. The cottage is delightful and clean and welcoming.

    Thank you for your great feedback, I am pleased your dog enjoyed the secure garden. thanks Judith Property Owner

  • "It is great for touring the Northumberland coast as a very central location."

    The garden is ideal for sitting outside and safe for our dogs too. The inside of the cottage is quite large so is once again ideal with two dogs. There are also walks close to the cottage for the short last walks of the day.

  • "This cottage provided us with a wonderful family break."

    It has a large garden which meant we could sit outside and eat, enjoying the countryside and the kids were able to play. It is close to so many super places worth visiting. Will definitely come again.....
