"Really fantastic property with lovely views of Bamburgh Castle and the sea, set in a peaceful, rural location, ideal for sightseeing!"
Decorated in a thoughtful way and to a high standard, the cottage was perfect for the two of us, and had everything we needed! The large corner sofa was a lovely surprise as that’s not shown in the photos online, and we also benefitted from the wood-burner one chilly evening, and enjoyed the lovely decking area with its comfortable furniture and beautiful views most mornings! We even played a couple of the board games that were provided!
In short, we had a really wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend 2 Bellshill Cottages! In fact, we hope to return ourselves one day, as there are so many beautiful and interesting places to visit in Northumberland, we barely scratched the surface!

"The cottage is in a perfect location for touring the Northumberland coast and hinterland."
Clean , modern and comfortable as well as quiet even though the A1 is conveniently close. Plenty to do and see in the near vicinity and ideal for walking the coastal paths.
I would highly recommend it for people who want a relaxing stay.

"We have had several holidays at bellshill and have been very impressed each time with the updates in the furnishings etc, a feeling that you have just borrowed a friends house for a few days gives a home from home feel."
excellent is a good description of the cottage.

"This was in the perfect location for us to access all the sightseeing we wanted to do."
We both loved the view be it sunny or misty. The cottage was very comfortable and homely, it had everything we needed for self catering.
It was a pleasure getting back there after our days out. The gardens for me were a beautiful palce to just sit and relax. Many Thanks.

"We enjoyed our stay, the lounge was comfy with a great view and it was very clean."
However our stay was spoiled because of the double bed. Firstly, it should have been a king size, to cater for all heights of people, but mainly it was the poor fitting mattress, which was very shallow and worn. Plus the wooden edges of the bed meant that this dug into my legs as I got in and out. I noticed another holidaymaker commented on this as well. The owners may well be perfectly happy with their bed, but they have to think of the people renting. The cost of our break is not a cheap option any more and a proper bed is essential. ( All hotels now have a KS platform bed with no hard edges and a padded headboard-this would also give more room at the bottom of the bed)
Complaining during the stay would have been futile, so I have to do it here.
Otherwise we loved the cottage. We sat outside and the garden furniture was much appreciated as was the well equipped if small kitchen. Everything worked which we used and the decor was lovely.
We stay in holiday lets about 4 times a year and have done for 30 years and we know that the standard has greatly improved, but we cannot not mention the bed-sorry.

"Despite the damp weather we had an enjoyable holiday which included celebrating Joyce`s 82 birthday, our eldest daughter Sharon joined us to fulfil a long held wish to visit holy island."
We have stayed at the cottage a few times and have always found it to be clean and warm the owners have changed the decor furnishings several times between our visits and if you moved in to live there would no need to do anything,we were all very impressed.

"Nice homely cottage."
Good quality furnishings. Very close to neighbours. The towels were only small bath towels and only one hand towel provided for two adults. In my opinion, these would have been better if they had been bath sheets and two hand towels provided.
The cottage has the most wonderful views.

"Lovely rural location,views are splendid, across the fields towards Bamburgh Castle."
The cottage is attached on either side but luckily both properties were unoccupied.
Kitchen is small but usable.
The log burner was useful on cool evenings and we brought paper, firelighters and logs with us.
Only real issue was a lack of hand/face towels. We would expect more than just a bath towel each and a shared hand towel!
Also some milk and a small welcome pack would be a nice touch.
In all a lovely stay.

"Was a lovely location and panoramic view but the cottage left a lot to desire."
Was very close to neighbours and not real privacy. The master bed mattress was very uncomfortable and I feel time for a replacement. The bed frame also has a footboard which is not good for a taller person like myself. The master bedroom could also do with blackout blinds. The kitchen was very small and no real storage. Photos of kitchen were a bit deceptive on how small it was. The dining table did not have enough space for the four people to sit around and was cramped between wall and couch. There was also a bee problem which was not resolved and we were interrupted the first day of our stay with pest control but obviously they did not resolve the problem. Would have been nice to have a little bit of kindling and firestarter and also more toilet paper for the week. Just felt the bare minimum was done and nothing to really welcome a guest.

"Lovely cottage."
Well appointed and furnished. Warm and comfortable with great views across to Bamburgh and Budle Bay. Perhaps the provision of a pint of milk and some tea bags and coffee for arrival could be a suggestion to make the stay even better. We would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing break. It's in an ideal location to explore the beautiful Northumberland area and especially its magnificent coastline.

"We really enjoyed our stay in Bellshill Cottage."
It was perfectly sized for our family of five and the interior was to a really good standard. Excellent location close to seaside resorts of Bamburgh and Beadnell whilst retaining a rural feel.

"Excellent position."
Very cosy as it was colder than we anticipated. Central heating worked perfectly. Very closed to A1 yet far enough not to hear the traffic. The view from the cottage across the country side was lovely.

Excellent views over to the sea, lovely rural and peaceful location, close to but not too near to the A1, very handy for getting around. We would definitely return and recommend to others.
