“On leaving owner told us of some lovely local points, have good chat with him - would been great to have them in some form within the cottage on arrivial rather than on leaving.”

- Mr Goold, September 2021
Mrs Yeomans August 2021

“Very well positioned cottage to visit the beautiful Northumberland coast.”

Cottage is lovely with a good sized back garden. Beds are very comfortable, and we all slept well! The cottage was clean but considering you have to leave at 9am and can't enter until 5pm on arrival day due to covid cleaning requirements, we expected it to be immaculate which it wasn't. Dust and dirt under beds and sofas etc but kitchen and bathroom clean. Would recommend but cleaners need to have more attention to detail.

- Mrs Yeomans, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. Whilst COVID is a primary concern for most, we were requested by our cleaning team to ensure these times are put in place to allow enough time to ensure their regime is adhered to. We have spoken with the cleaning team and based on your feedback have changed the times to now be able to enter from 4pm and leave at 9:30am. We appreciate your comments and hope to see you stay in the future. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our week stay at the cottage.”

Great location to explore the coast and market towns. This would be an amazing cottage if they had better cleaners to service the property! We found dust in a lot of places and it just looked like it had not been cleaned properly and for a while. We contacted the cleaners and they came back but still it wasn’t great. A washing machine would be useful but I guess they do not have space in the kitchen. Shame as it would really help. Other than that we had an amazing holiday in Northumberland.

“Very comfortable cottage well placed for Bamburgh and the Cheviot Hills and everywhere in between.”

- Dr Spruce, May 2021
Mrs Waters May 2021

“A lovely cottage with stunning views to wake up to.”

Nice large enclosed garden which was lovely for our dog. It is outside the village so a bit of a walk to the pub and shop and although its on a road the traffic wasn't a concern. If you need daycare for your dog, Pattersons Cottage Kennels is highly recommended, they stepped in for us when the one we had booked turned out to be dire.

- Mrs Waters, May 2021
Mr De Candole September 2020

“The cottage was easy to find.”

It is well over a mile to the village which means driving to get supplies. There is a good car park and a secure enclosed garden where the dog is safe. The house is on a fairly busy road with fast traffic which may disturb a light sleeper. This Victorian house has been extensively modernised and is well appointed with central heating. An illuminated mirror in the bathroom would be a great improvement. There are some unexpected steps to the floor in the main living/dining room which could catch the infirm/unwary. There is a great rural/coastal view from the front windows. The cottage is well placed for all the popular attractions of the area including Lindisfarne, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses etc.

- Mr De Candole, September 2020
Mr Hampson August 2020

“A very well situated cottage which allowed easy access to places of interest in the area.”

( Bamburgh Castle , Holy Island ,Berwick on Tweed, Chillingham Castle , Dunstanburgh Castle , Warkworth castle ,fine beaches and the Cheviot Hills) An enclosed clean garden was great for our two dogs.) The downside to this accommodation includes proximity to a noisy fast road ,tepid water for bath despite hot water available elsewhere and no fire extinguisher for the open fire. Kits cottage added to a very successful holiday.

- Mr Hampson, August 2020
Mr Firth August 2020

“Really lovely, comfortable cottage.”

Very spacious, even with 5 of us plus the dog. Lovely garden area which the kids loved. Good facilities and very peaceful.

- Mr Firth, August 2020
Mr Morphett August 2020

“Great cottage, peaceful location, although on a busy road that can't be helped.”

Great location, easy access to A1 and Belford village. Very clean and well maintained. Good sized garden to relax in. Plenty of space for a relaxing holiday.

- Mr Morphett, August 2020
Mr Strother October 2019

“Great location for the coast.”

Good amenities in Belford both for eating and grocery shopping. Comfortable and well equipped with a good garden and dog friendly. Easy access to generous parking at the rear. The property would benefit from double glazing.

- Mr Strother, October 2019
Mrs Hufton September 2019

“It was a lovely comfortable cottage and very clean enjoyable stay”

- Mrs Hufton, September 2019
Mr Manning June 2019

“Excellent garden for dogs.”

Completely fenced and nice lawn to enjoy.

- Mr Manning, June 2019
Mrs Waterman April 2019

“The lack of a washing machine could be an issue.”

There was only half a loo roll and a pint of milk when you arrive would have been welcome. We thought it would be rather cramped with 5 adults. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay thank you.

- Mrs Waterman, April 2019
Miss Cochrane March 2019

“It was a excellent stay, very comfy cottage.”

Excellent location.

- Miss Cochrane, March 2019

Mr Chamberlain October 2018

“Kits cottage was a beautiful cottage that proved to be a perfect base for exploring Northumberland.”

Thank you we had a great time.

- Mr Chamberlain, October 2018
Mr Smith September 2018

“Kits Cottage is very comfortable with good facilities for self catering.”

It is particularly well located for visits to Lindisfarne, Bamburgh and Alnwick and the spectacular Northumbrian coast. We very much enjoyed our brief holiday, thank you.

- Mr Smith, September 2018
Mr Kent August 2018

“Excellent accommodation in a very good location.”

Lots to do in the area from Lindisfarne to Alnick and Seahouses for the Farne Islands. Plenty of good walks straight off the doorstep and close enough for a few pub meals out which were all good to excellent. Comfortable and clean in the cottage, so good all round.

- Mr Kent, August 2018
Burnstone August 2018

“Really comfortable cottage and lovely garden and sea views.”

We knew the cottage doesn’t have a washing machine but it’d be great if they get one especially for extended stays. The owners were very helpful both before our trip and during too. We’d come back.

- Burnstone, August 2018
Mrs Noble July 2018

“Kits Cottage provided a perfect base to explore Northumberland and the Borders.”

We’d booked for a week but could easily have stayed for 2 as there was so much to do. We loved the cottage. It was cosy & well furnished to meet all of our needs (family of 4 plus dog). The only thing that would make it better is a washing machine/tumble drier.

- Mrs Noble, July 2018
Miss Shackell June 2018

“Great cottage in a quiet location, with the local village around a mile away.”

The pictures do not show a garden, but the cottage has a lovely large very dog friendly one which we liked as it was safe and secure. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Lovely comfortable beds and a nice shower. The cottage also has parking for 2 cars at the rear of the property, so no squezzing the car into as all space! I would recommend to family's with dogs and children as the cottage and garden is well suited.

- Miss Shackell, June 2018
Mrs Helm February 2018

“What a lovely little cottage for us and our two dogs to explore beautiful Northumberland.”

Everything was there that we needed and we felt very much at home. People have mentioned there's no washing machine but we knew that when booking so really isn't an issue for us, alot don't have washing machines. WiFi was excellent. Bed was really comfy and cottage really warm, too warm in fact we had to turn the heaters down! Basics to make a drink where provided for when we arrived and the heating was on which was good. Owners provided throws in the living room to get cosy on the couch which I really appreciate as it's what I do at home. We didn't try lighting the fire as didn't really need it but I'm sure it's lovely when it's on. Nice size garden for the dogs to run up of a morning and last thing at night. Very well situated to local supermarket in Belford which is a co-op. There's also a chippy and pubs in the village although we are out in Berwick and Alnwick. We really would love to come again to this well presented cottage. Also got an email from owner explaining the WiFi password and how to access property from the back which was good to know.

- Mrs Helm, February 2018

“Communication with owners was excellent when the wifi was not working.”

Important for our teenager - not us! Took a while to sort but was delayed by internet provider not owners, who shared our frustration.

- Mrs Blackmore-dawes, July 2017

This was an really lovely cottage immaculate throughout and everything you could possibly need, we will definitely be rebooking :)
