“Accurate description.”

Owner very helpful although it was cold when we arrived. Storage heater not on and fan heater broken, however they immediately replace the fan heater. You couldn't ask more could you. Double glazing kept the road noise down but I wouldn't fancy sitting in the front garden due to busy road. A good and convenient base for exploring Northumberland.

“Great cottage ideally placed to visit anywhere in Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.”

Would benefit from having wi-fi.

- Mr Dring, May 2019
“The fact that Bede Apartment is by the side of the A1 with a petrol station next door turn out to be a positive aspect as it makes it a convenient base for exploring the wonderful area of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.”

The apartment itself was warm, clean and comfortable.

- Mr Gibson, April 2019
“Had a really nice week here, reasonably priced for our length of stay, owner was very nice, met us on arrival, told us everything we needed to know.”

... We would definitely book again

- Miss Given, March 2019
“Property really needs WiFi as mobile signal poor.”

Food in the Lindisfarne Inn was appalling and well overpriced.

- Mr Jones, September 2018
“The owner welcomed us to the cottage, brief resume of the property then left us to enjoy our break.”

He lived nearby and chatted when he saw us but gave us the space we needed. Really the best of both worlds on hand if needed but left us to enjoy the break. Would love to stay there again as very friendly people and the meal in the pub was wonderful to complete our holiday.

- Mrs Kendrick, August 2018
“Whilst the location is excellent in terms of accessing to the Holy Island, The Farne Islands and all areas along the coast between Edinburgh and Newcastle the apartment itself it is without views.”

Bede Cottage is directly on what is effectively a layby on the A1,it is directly next to a lorry park and petrol station ... so you win in some respects and lose out in others. The apartment is well fitted out, although the spiral staircase from bathroom, kitchen/lounge area up to the bedroom area is quite tight to navigate especially with a suitcase or two or if the bathroom is required during the night - so visitors need to be warned - a level of agility is required to negotiate the bedroom access. Otherwise the facilities are all you would expect, the welcome from the proprietor is warm and our stay afforded us an excellent introduction to the hospitality of Northumbria.

- Mr Juerges, April 2018
“Positives - Owner friendly and helpful.”

Property clean. Kitchen well stocked. Negatives - sofa bed very uncomfortable. Property really only practical for 2/3 people. Road immediately outside used by lorries to park up overnight so early morning noise can be a problem.

- Mrs Bruce, April 2018
“This cottage suited our requirements/ we were moving my uncle so not a holiday.”

It was convenient that there was a garage shop close by and a pub for food. We were not disturbed by any road noise. The equipment/utensils were very satisfactory and of good quality....may be worth considering a splatter guard for the frying pan/wok

- Mrs Saul, March 2018
“Well equipped cottage Friendly and helpful owner”

- Rev Disley, September 2017
“Two points which we mentioned to Mr Fidler.”

The cottage suited our needs. Staying so close to the A1 is interesting!

- Mr Wood, September 2017
“Only suitable for healthy couple as mezzanine accessible via spiral staircase.”

2nd bed is sofa bed which is too high for disabled person
