"Good morning."
We,ve just arrived back from a very enjoyable holiday at Aiden apartment Beal, which was very comfortable and was exactly what we was expecting. The location was particually good with easy access to the surrounding areas of interest. Steven the owner was very easy going and approachable.

"Easy access to the cottage, the owner met me on site."
The cottage was clean and exactly like the photos. Even though it was so close to the A1, the noise of the traffic did not cause any issues. Great location for everything I needed to do for the week. I would consider staying here again next time I am in the area.

"Have stayed at the Aiden apartment 4 or 5 times now and love it."
Perfect base for exploring the area. Will always come back. It's a cosy little cottage with a pub and shop/garage either side so it's ideal. And Stephen the owner is such a nice friendly person, always welcoming and on hand if you need anything. 10/10 for me.

"Me and my baby girl stayed here and it was just beautiful."
The cottage was so homey and in perfect location for tourist attraction especially Holy island. Stephan was so kind and helpful to. Would definitely go back again and recommend any one to stay here my favourite part was the spiral stairs up to the level bedroom.

"What a lovely little cottage!"
I am very familiar with this area of Northumberland and so Aidan Apartment was the perfect base for us to explore.
We arrived at 3pm for check in where we met Stephen. Stephen was a really friendly chap who gave us a brief run-through of the cottage and the local amenities and then left us to it. The cottage is just off the A1 on a side road, but we weren't at all disturbed by traffic. There are lorries and cars that sometimes park up on the road outside but this never affected access to the property. There is off road parking with one space per cottage.
The apartment was perfect for us two. We liked the quirky mezzanine staircase, although it definitely wouldn't be suitable for the elderly or those with mobility issues. We finally got the hang of it after a couple of runs up and down!
The bed was so comfy and the bedroom area itself is quite spacious. We were well rested throughout our stay.
The bathroom is downstairs which to be honest worked out well. The shower was always warm and quite powerful. There isn't a lot of room to manoeuvre in the cubicle itself, but this isn't a problem as you have a shower caddy accessible at upper body level. Toilet worked fine.
We often cooked at home and found the oven and the hob easy to operate and cooked food well. There is a Beko fridge with ample space for 3/4 meals with some drinks, eggs and stuff in the veg tray. There is also a little freezer compartment at the top. There is also plenty of crockery and cutlery for our use.
There is the Lindisfarne Inn on the corner which was a lovely little pub with tasty food. We frequented the Esso garage for supplies and found it to be reasonably well stocked at fair prices.
Please note the cottage doesn't have WiFi and mobile signal can be a little patchy. However, this didn't bother us and honestly preferred being somewhat detached from the online world!
There are TV both downstairs and upstairs with Freeview, so we had enough channels to choose from.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and we would love to return in 2023 when we have some more annual leave! For us the location and the quality of the apartment was perfect - we were after somewhere homely with all the necessities and this cottage ticked all the boxes.

"A cosy wee neuk for exploring the east borders region."
Close to many well known ancient sites and of course the isle. Walking the Pilgrim Way over the sand barefoot is highly recommended.

"Met by Stephen Fidler on arrival, very welcoming and likable."
The stay at Aidan apartment was very nice, a good base and a stones throw from Holy Island. The facilities and cleanliness was very good. The only downside is its a shame its not a 100 yards further away from main road ( A1 ).

"Great place to stay."
Close to holy island and Berwick centre. Cosy little place and situated next to a great pub with nice staff. Only thing to say is that Aidan cottage I think has the wrong photos attached and maybe for the cottage next door. Similar but slightly different although still enjoyable and would recommend.

Very convenient for Lindisfarne and a pub restaurant, café and filling station shop very close by. With good weather during the first half of the holiday we managed to do may of things that we had hoped.

"I think that some people may be put off by the location of the cottage being so near the A1 but I can assure you that there was very little traffic disturbance whilst in the cottage."
The location does mean that you are ideally situated for the surrounding attractions. The garage has a small shop for milk, bread, papers etc and a cash machine. There are three eating places within easy walking but I would recommend the Sleep and Eat behind the cottage.
The cottage is cosy and comfortable and well equipped with the basics. If desperate for WiFi for the price of a drink you can catch up with your e-mails in the Inn next door.
