South Stable Cosy Stone Retreat with Parking

excellent location for tourning Northumberland- close to Alnwick, Bamburgh, Seahouses. Also travelled 60 miles to visit Vindolanda roman dig and also a couple of days in Beamish before heading on to this location. Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle well worth a visit! Property was very clean ( my number 1 requirement above all else ) and it was very stylishly decorated with good appliances. Unfortunately the door to the oven didnt shut properly but this didnt affect the cooking and the owners knew about it and were dealing.A lovely small private garden which we didnt use due to the adverse weather unfortunately.

Parking is tight if there are a few larger cars staying at the neighbouring properties. The accomodation is very small. I would have felt claustophobic if I was a person who spent a lot of the holiday indoors ( which we never do - so not a problem). There was very limited cupboard space for your own food purchases in the kitchen. Although the decor was lovely it could have had (and I would have appreciated)another tower unit in the kitchen to accomodate this - aesthetically this may have detracted but it would have been more practical. Luckily this holiday we ate out a lot - if you enjoy cooking it is tight for space. These are minor niggles and stated because I have been asked to answer this question. I have only one actual complaint - there is no tumble drier. There is a washing machine and I am sure a washer drier could have been accomodated . The weather the week we stayed was worse than we expected and it was necessary to wash some clothing ( we were out doors in poor weather quite a bit) and had to dry the clothes on an airer in the wet room which was not very satisfactory.

The location with private parking

The sofa was not quite as comfy as we’d hoped, but we would still visit again

A beautiful little cottage with wonderful private garden. Very well equipped , quality throughout and with everything you need for a relaxing stay . Parking is a real bonus.

Nothing

Beautiful small apartment, very high standard of equipment and decor. Very comfortable and warm, excellent location for exploring this part of the coast.

Couple of little niggles....Water in shower could have been a bit warmer. And no way to make ice for drinks...not even a small freezer compartment in the fridge.
