"We enjoyed our stay at Winding Wheel Cottage."
The cottage was spacious and the outdoor seating areas felt private, despite the close proximity of our neighbours.
The kitchen was lovely and when we were not off sightseeing, we spent a lot of our time sitting round the table, eating and playing games.
The beach was awesome and we had many enjoyable morning and evening walks.

"A very spacious, luxurious and well-equipped property next to a lovely beach."
The house had everything we needed and more. The welcome pack provided by the owners was well received - thank you! Lovely and friendly neighbours. Walking straight out of the front door and on to the beach was great for the grand kids and dog who spent most of the time there and would definitely visit again. A fantastic week thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family, and highly recommend this property!

"We had a brilliant time celebrating an 80th birthday."
The cottage exceeded expectations by being so much closer to the beach than we thought, pub next door and right on the England Pathway for lovely walks up and down the coast. After a long drive to get there we had some car free days by catching the bus round the corner.
The cottage was lovely - great spaces to all be together or split off if we wanted. Would def book again.

"The property provides the wow factor both on arrival outside and entry."
Really well-appointed, we had absolutely everything we needed with a generous welcome pack, dishwasher and washing machine. Ideal for people with dogs as both the front and rear gardens are completely enclosed and the beach is just over the road. Northumberland is probably the best area we've visited in terms of dog-friendly beaches and attractions. If you love walking this is a great base and you can also easily access the Northumberland Coastal Path. The garden is a beautiful afternoon sun trap so whether you're looking to be out and about: Alnwick, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Seahouses and many more; or to just relax in beautiful surroundings, then we would highly recommend this cottage.

"Absolutely lovely."
.all needs catered for. One brought a air fryer with us and didn't even need it as one was provided! Very spacious and in a perfect spot. We had a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to return. I do think that a surface cleaner and hand-wash would be useful and 2 tea towels rather than the one.
Much appreciated and very thankful we got to experience this beautiful cottage

"This is a beautiful, comfortable property in a great location opposite the beach."
Falling asleep to the sound of the surf was so relaxing.
The welcome pack was really generous and there was everything, and more, we could have wanted for our stay. The area is really dog friendly and the beach dog walkers we met were very welcoming. Hard to drag ourselves away and we hope to return.

"Winding wheel cottage was all and more than shown, the photos don't do the place justice."
A beautiful well appointed cottage. We couldn't find any scisors in the kitchen, but that's just us being picky. The rooms are fantastic and the whole stay was when we went out we were glad to be back. Fabulous stay welcome packs, yes packs, all over if we can book it again we will be back. We were sorry to come home and leave sutch a nice cottage.

"This was a wonderful cottage."
It was so clean and warm. The showers were amazing and the furnishings were so comfortable. It had almost everything we needed. The kitchen is missing tongs, a whisk, and scissors and ideally the knives need sharpening.
Having the beach nearby was brilliant and even our arthritic Labrador reverted to puppyness - which was just a joy to see.
Thank you so much x

"Excellent stay."
Everything you could possibly want is here. Short walk to the beach. Sunday lunch in Charlton’s next door, completely beaten by portion size. We were very comfortable at all times. Just to the left of the cottage is a hard surface part of the Coastal path which was perfect for walking dogs when tide was in. Eat at Turknaz in Whitley Bay. Excellent food and superb service. Loads to do in area. Visited Beamish, Alnwick Castle, Woodhorn Museum and Morpeth. All very Guide Dog puppy friendly he experienced lots of new things. Excellent holiday, highly recommended. House very warm and welcoming during some very inclement weather.

It was very spacious and furnished to a high standard with everything you could need.
We enjoyed the proximity to a fabulous beach for the dogs and also the Northumberland coastal path is nearby with lots of other pathways nearby for walking, running or cycling. It was a part of Northumberland we hadn't explored before but we would definitely return to the area and the house.

"Beautiful house."
Extremely comfortable and welcoming. Good place to start from to explore Northumberland. Love the fact that the beach was across the road. A clean sandy beach that goes in forever, the dogs were in there element.
There was a very well stocked welcoming basket with alsorts if everything in it.
A nice touch was when the owner made a quick visit to make sure we were ok and that we had found out how to work everything.
A pub right next door, what more could you want.

Every time we opened the door it felt warm and welcoming, if I could have picked it up and brought it home I would have. Chris was very welcoming and I would recommend getting your firewood from him.
