“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.

“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.

“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.

“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

“Had a lovely time.”

Just about everything we needed. Conveniently place to travel the local towns and countryside and a pub on one side a garage and store on the other. Very pleasant owner, great holiday

“Warm cosy cottage, excellently positioned for accessing local area.”

Many things to do and places to visit. Berwick station close by, for visits further afield. Very clean and tidy. Bedding and towels provided. Friendly and helpful owner on site. We had a relaxing week, visiting friends nearby and local attractions. Would recommend.
