Host & Stay - Fenwick Village Hall

Great location for exploring the local area, especially Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle. Very well presented property with quality furnishings and decor. Clean. Comfortable. Well equipped, including dishwasher and detergents.

Parking is unclear, though we managed to park outside the building next to the coffee shop. There is a parking space next to the property but there was another apartment occupant using this parking area. (Really not a negative as it's a quiet village location.) Out of the control of the property but we had a cockerel crowing outside of our bedroom window from around 04:30 each morning. Take some ear plugs! No shower gel/ toiletries, except liquid soap.

Very well equipped. Beautifully designed. Great location for North Northumberland. Very quiet and private.

The double bed and pillows - quite uncomfortable. Need replacing.

The position for Holy Island (a 10 min drive straight up the A1) and Berwick-Upon-Tweed for day trips by train to Edinburgh is unbeatable. If you visit Berwick, make sure to take one of the 'clock-display' cards from the very good pile of info on the windowsill. We did not come across them until we had akready visited. Mind you, parking at the older B&M, at the back, long stay car park then walking to the station, is free all day. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Maybe a shelf in the bathroom would improve it but nit picking, really. We loved it. The café next door is a great resource although we left before 10am when they open,most days. They are closed Tues and Wed but open rest of the week.

I do wish Host and Stay would send entry details earlier. I realise they must worry about fraud but considering they take payment (albeit refundable), immediately you book, only being released codes, address etc 6 hrs before arrival makes for a tense and a tad nerve-wracking journey. It all worked out fine but I would always prefer the entry details before embarking on a holiday.

It was comfortable though rather dark

I couldn’t reach the window blinds without climbing on the steps, which for an elderly person is not good. The worst thing was dirty unusable frying pans
