“Lovely”
Lovely little cottage, ideally situated. There is a little road noise from the A1 but not enough to spoil your peace and quiet. Cottage has everything you need, is clean and cosy. The spiral stairs are quirky but not for the infirm. Will definitely be back!
Farne Cottages
A trio of stone-built holiday cottages next to the owner’s home, in the scattered hamlet of Beal. Just a short drive from the Holy Island access road, these cottages in Beal are ideal for families or friends who wish to explore this fascinating region and have instant access to the main routes north and south. A former schoolhouse, these Beal cottages offer three cosy units, all well thought out to provide comfortable, compact accommodation for a Northumberland break.
