• "Cottage absolutely fantastic."

  Welcome pack brilliant. Cottage very comfortable. I wish I had taken my own pillows and not very much storage for clothes. We would definitely go again. Peaceful and quiet yet near to every thing.

• "3rd year of visiting but 1st for this cottage, lovely living area space, en-suite was great for my 87yr old mum."

  Had a great stay as always. The only negative was the dust on the skirting boards and behind the doors, plus the wardrobes were badly designed with the hanging rail going front to back instead of across.... just me being picky. All in all a great place with the added use of the indoor swimming pool. Planning on coming back next year.

• "Third time we have visited and it does not disappoint."

  The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. Nice walks from the cottage. Swimming pool is an added bonus too. Will definitely be returning.

• "We loved this warm, cosy, clean and well appointed cottage."

  With sea views and set amongst beautiful beaches and countryside. Friendly and helpful staff. Our dog was well catered for, welcomed with treats, towel and bowls. Our welcome pack included all essentials. The new swimming pool and changing facilities were excellent. Well organised to ensure individual use. Would certainly go again. Ray and Margaret

• "We really enjoyed the stay and would definitely come again."

  Two things worth a mention: 1. We didn’t know it was first come first serve for the swimming pool slots. We thought they were allocated to us and so did not select any until a lot of slots were gone. 2. The beach was not a 20 min walk in our opinion and I’d not describe it as a buggy friendly, exactly. We got through but was not easy in some places. It was worth it though as beach is great.

• "Fabulous setting and superb views especially of the sea."

  The pathway through the fields was excellent. Quiet area. Good parking. Well equipped although an ice cube tray would be a good addition We stayed 6 years ago and now feel that items like the settee and carpets are showing their age… the carpets at the doorways are getting frayed and the material on the settees are quite worn.

• "Fantastic location."

  The scenery, walks and locality are amazing. Spacious, clean and well finished cottage. Storage in the bedrooms is quite limited, we were ok as only two of us but if there were four could be an issue. We also found the bed quite uncomfortable - definitely needs mattress replacing. The views from lounge more than made up for this however! Would love to stay again soon.

  The alteration to the booking of the pool Was a bonus as we could arrange our own pattern of use A minor point but the addition of another lamp to the opposite side of the room to the tv would be a benefit especially during the darker evenings Otherwise the accommodation is near perfect

• "This must be our eighth stay at North Farm, we have stayed in three different cottages and we are never disappointed."

  These cottages are consistently very good. The swimming pool is a valued extra.

• "Fabulous cottage, clean & comfortable, faultless, in lovely quiet country side, with sea views."

  The swimming pool is to die for, with your own hourly sessions, we didn’t realise that during the “off peak periods”, you book these slots on arrival, and we had planned our days out around these. Don’t be mislead by the 10 minute walk to the beach, we are used to walking and it took us 30 minutes, it’s a pleasant walk, but probably too far for those not used to walking. Considering all the cottages were booked, it didn’t feel at all busy.

• "Good cottage but the experience felt a bit clinical rather than homely and lacks animals that you might expect on a holiday farm."

• "The cottage is perfectly situated for those that enjoy some easy walks,across the fields to the beach and the pub ."

  A slightly more strenuous walk can be had to Craster for kippers freshly smoked.

• "Home Stead cottage is a very spacious, comfortable and well equipped place to stay."

  All the information about the area and places to visit are provided with lovely views across the farmed fields to Embleton bay inc a sea view. Ideal for walkers who like gentle walks. There are facilities for children in the play area and use of the indoor heated swimming pool which is available on a rota basis for the several cottages on the complex. Embleton is very central to all the places of interest inc all the popular castles and places to eat. Our first visit to Northumberland was not disappointing and we will probably return in the future.

• "It was in a great location but we were a little disappointed how far away the beach was."

  I presumed it was nearer because the brochure said a stroll down a gentle sloping path .we are all pensioners so I suppose a younger person would get there quicker.we didn't make it to the beach after walking for about 30 mins. overall though it was a beautiful place within easy reach of the village.

• "This complex of accommodations is well situated for a large area of different attractions."

  Main concern was the fact that " dip in the newly built swimming pool" was advertised. It did not say it was still being built and the work was going on just outside your cottage, so don't take your swim wear folks. The bedrooms could have used more cloths drawer space and the Kingsize bed mattress was very soft,thin and noisy. They also need to look at what they are paying their "cleaning team" to do, changing beds and towels is not cleaning the cobwebs and dust accumulation. Having said all that, Northhumberland is great, extra woolly necessary but fantastic location.

  Building work was being carried out right in front of property, we were woken up between 7 and 8 most mornings, would have appreciated being warned regarding this and would have booked a hot tub cottage instead

• "Comfortable cottage with good facilities."

  Could have done with a shelf in the bathrooms and bedrooms had very limited storage so unpacking wasn't a good option.

• "The cottage is in a perfect location for coastal walking."

  You can set off directly from the cottage to the beach and pick up the coastal path for both north and south routes. The signage and pathways from the cottage are fantastic. The facilities and cleanliness of the cottage are first class.

• "We found it very comfortable and absolutely loved it."

  The views were great, Usually come to Northumberland twice a year including New Year, but at the moment unable to find anywhere, 8 people including a dog. This year I think the gates to Northumberland opened, as I have never seen so many people in September,plus the weather was gorgeous. Definitely recommend Homestead Cottage.

• "An absolutely fantastic cottage - certainly the nicest we've ever stayed in - in an idyllic location."

  Only (very minor) quibble was that the beds could have been a little more comfortable.
