“Great cottage and perfect base for ...”

Great cottage and perfect base for exploring the north of the village. Very tastefully decorated and plenty of space we would definitively consider returning. The cottage is about a twenty to thirty minute walk from the village but worth it and there are some stunning views from right across the road out the Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands. A perfect week away.

“A nicely finished terraced ...”

A nicely finished terraced property, situated on a relatively quite A road..but still road noise from fast passing vehicles. The terrace of 9 properties all have rear gardens separated by 3 foot picket fence..nice in the evening but not private. Could not manage to open bedroom window in main bedroom. Rest of property as per photos.

“Cracking Location, Great Cottage”

Family Holiday for a week in Northumberland - me, wife, 14 month old daughter and dog. This was the perfect place to stay. Well equipped cottage and all the facilities for small child and dog. Just off the A1 (off another road so not got the A1 noise) and close enough to Belford for a 20 minute walk to the pubs/shops. Also google maps doesn't show off the new garden - a south facing enclosed little sun trap with parking right next to it. If you need a base to go visit the wonderful place that is Northumberland, this is definitely the place to do it from. 20 mins from Berwick, 20 mins from Anwick, 5 mins from Bamburgh, 10 mins from Seahouses (where you get the boat to Farne Islands). 2.5 hours from Leeds - easy peasy. The cottage itself is very well equipped and quiet and very cozy. Marni the owner was great at communication - made sure we had everything we needed (e.g. travel cot and high chair on arrival) and that we had a good stay but in no way intrusive. Also sent my clothes back to me straight away after leaving a wardrobe full! Highly recommended

“Great place to stay”

We had a smashing visit at Bruno's Bothy. Our first time to Northumberland and the location is brilliant, with views across to the Farne Islands and easy access to the A1 to get out and about. Marni was really great and got back to us quickly when we had any questions. Property is very well laid out and lovely to have a log burner/fire.

“Well located comfortable pet friendly cottage”

We booked this cottage as it was pet friendly and well located to explore the beautiful county of Northumberland. Being December it was cold and snowy, we experienced some human error with the heating, which Marni and Scott bent over backwards to help us to be warm and toasty. The cottage is well equipped ( we missed a dustpan) and comfortable. Good off road parking, which is a real help. We had a wonderful time exploring, from Edinburgh, To the must see Farne Island. we would return, maybe in the spring. The most helpful and friendly cottage owners we have met. Many Thanks

“Home from home with the dogs”

Had a great week at Bruno's Bothy ideally situated for beaches, castles and island adventures. The cottage was like home from home we felt welcome as soon as we stepped through the door, great attention to detail throughout the cottage. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

“And relax an exceptional place”

Booked this cottage for 4 days as a short break to celebrate my husband's birthday. The minute we opened the door we just relaxed the cottage has everything you need absolute luxury, so well equipped and lots of information on the area, a real home from home. We really wanted to stay much longer and would certainly recommend this cottage. Following our return home we realised that we had left our jackets hanging on the back door! I quick phone call to the owner Marni and things were sorted, the jackets were posted back to us in no time. I cannot thank her enough for her consideration and quick response to our problem. Bruno's Bothy is a fantastic cottage with extremely considerate owners who make you feel so welcome the minute you open and close the door

“Excellent”

Excellent quirky cottage. Very well equipped ... a real home from home. Love the bathroom & shower and the quirky staircase Would highly recommend. Very comfortable base for a host of activities nearby. A trip to the carne islands is an absolute must. Only small thing that was missing is hanging space in second bedroom .. a few hooks on the wall would suffice ... but definitely 5 stars

Absolutely beautiful cottage, so well appointed, far exceeded anything we expected, the photos just did not do it justice.

“Beautiful holiday cottage in the heart of Northumberland”

My family and I have recently enjoyed a week long stay at Bruno's Bothy, near Belford, Northumberland. We were delighted with the cottage, which was absolutely beautifully decorated and had the feel of a real home from home. Everything that we needed was catered for and there was literally no stress to our stay. We were delighted that our pet dog was able to stay with us and there was a fully enclosed rear garden for her to access. The location was excellent and we were in easy travelling distance of Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick and the Scottish border, all of which made for really enjoyable days out. I thoroughly recommend Bruno's Bothy and we will definitely be visiting again!
