“Lovely cottage in a beautiful area with easy access to Holy Island, Bamburgh & other coastal beauty spots.”

Couple of minor observations - wifi signal was intermittent at best and struggled to link to more than one device. No clear instructions on glass recycling - we took to recycling point in Belford.

“Fantastic accommodation which was furnished to a beautiful standard, the way this property was finished to such a high standard was unusual to see, usually you get the same lovely but humdrum finish and fixtures but brunos bothy was finished like we would do our home with no expense spared.”

Credit to the owners for a beautiful renovation. The only 2 things we would change are installing a washing machine maybe in one of outbuildings and the entry and exit times, 9am is an hour too early to exit the property and 5pm is at least an hour to late for entry, yes we know in these covid days things are difficult cleaning wise but these times need altering. Most people will leave properties clean and tidy so I'm not sure these times are necessary.

“We arrived after a 7 hour journey went to use the shower and no hot water.”

Had to boil kettle to have a wash. Next morning found hot water not on! Surely it should have been ready for us. Also dish washer switched off Instructions on how to use dishwasher and microwave would be good. In the lounge only 1 decent comfortable chair For the price we paid we would have expected better service On reflection we will not be using you again. Held to ransom over the deposit during covid . Having to pay extra to transfer from 2020 to 2021 and extra to alter the booking. None of which was our fault

“Brunos Bothy is a wonderful cottage, we found it warm, comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated.”

Perfect! We could really see the love that had been put into the property, it's probably one of our top 3 favourites!! We had everything we needed and had a fantastic stay. Ideal location, lovely views of the sea from the bedrooms. We had some lovely days out at Holy Island, Alnwick, Seahouses, Craster and returned each day to our lovely warm cottage. We hope to return one day, Northumberland is lovely :)

- Mrs Fuller, October 2020

Ms Sherratt January 2020

“This was an incredible cottage - lush is an understatement - it did adv that it had a games room but it actually doesn’t and also the pics on the website are out of date as it now has a leather sofa.”

The noise from the road wasn’t ideal but apart from that this was one of the loveliest cottages I have stayed in and in a brilliant location near to Berwick upon Tweed and Lindisfarne. You can tell a lot of love has gone into making this cottage a special place right down to the staircase and the kitchen sink. I would def come here again - I felt spoilt and privileged to stay in such an incredible place with top quality furnishings and equipment. Didn’t want to come home.

We loved being there and will certainly go back again. Clean, well equipped - a real home from home. Oh and the bathroom was terrific, right down to the lights!

- Mrs Lilley, April 2019
Mrs Bower April 2019

“Bruno’s Bothy is the loveliest holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed in.”

.. such a tasteful and comfortable cottage.

- Mrs Bower, April 2019
Mrs Waterworth April 2019

“Delightful stay in Northumberland.”

This cottage was brilliant, facilities were great and the location on the outskirts of Belford made it perfect for exploring the local area. It was such a bonus to be on the edge of a country estate and to be able to walk the dog in the mornings first thing before we headed out for the day. Not every morning we wake up to pheasants in the garden. The fixtures and fittings in the cottage were lovely and obviously it has been very lovingly restored - having the opportunity to have a fire was also nice on the colder evenings at the beginning of our stay, while having a garden made it lovely to sit out in the sunshine on the warmer evenings or for breakfast. Lots of towels provided. Heating system was good & the ability to just hit the button to heat water only was very useful. The beach at Bamburgh was ideal for walking the dog and to be able to walk through to Seahouses, have lunch and back again was perfect. The local dog friendly pubs in the village of Belford meant that going out in the evening was very easy. The Black Swan in particular was our favourite and the landlady and staff made everyone feel most welcome, food was excellent too. Would definitely book again if we return to this area.

Miss Cheetham March 2019

- Mr Horton, February 2019
Miss Turver January 2019

“Had a fabulous winter break at Bruno’s Bothy in Belford.”

Superbly placed for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. Warm and comfortable. Highly recommend.

- Miss Turver, January 2019
Mrs Bellfield January 2019

“Bruno’s Bothy was comfortable and warm, ideal for a winter break.”

It is very well appointed and Scott could not have been more helpful when we had an issue with a tin opener! It’s location is really good for discovering the beautiful county of Northumberland, within easy reach of both the coast and The Cheviots. We could also have ventured further to either Newcastle or Edinburgh if we had felt the need as both the A1 and the east coast train line are easily accessed. A gem.

- Mrs Bellfield, January 2019
Mrs Toro Paz November 2018

“Lovely spacious cottage, warm and welcoming.”

Very safe garden for our two Whippets. Close to many beautiful places to visit and places to walk. Friendly area if you have dogs with you.Black Swan pub in Belford which is walking distance especially welcoming to us and the dogs.

- Mrs Toro Paz, November 2018

“Very well-designed interior in a good location.”

- Mr Dunk, July 2018
Miss Lucas June 2018

“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.

- Miss Lucas, June 2018
Mr Betts June 2018

“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.

- Mr Betts, June 2018
Mrs Maslin April 2018

“Bruno's Bothy, is in a really good location with views towards Bamber and the castle as well as towards Holy Island castle and the beaches between, a great place.”
