“A breath away from the sea”
A lovely cottage, great accommodation sleeping 6 comfortably. Everything was available but a shame the dishwasher wasn't working and the washing machine was quite old (took about 6 to 8 hours to dry the clothes in the tumble dryer.) However, the close proximity to the sea (2 min walk) outweighed these things and it was lovely to wander down every day to the harbour or across the golf links to a beautiful bay, usually deserted. Great for kids - rock pooling was amazing and the boat trip to the Farne Islands is a must. The one draw back of the cottage is that there is no parking. (double yellow lines everywhere). The suggestion is to use the town pay and display carpark and buy a weekly pass, but we discovered they don't do this any more so the daily cost would have been £3.50, adding an additional £24.50 to your stay. However, we managed to park at the top of the road on the main street every day where there are no double yellow lines, and we always found a space, so not a real problem unless you are carting lots of stuff back and forth. All in all a great stay in a beautiful location.
