The instructions provided were clear and made finding the property very easy. The property having its own parking spot was great as parking in the area would have been difficult. The property was easy to access and was very cosy and had all the amenities for cooking although we could have done with a few more dishwasher tablets. If cooking isn’t your style there were multiple amazing pubs/ restaurants nearby with great food. The harbour was just around the corner and you can easily see Bamburgh Castle from the harbour. You can walk along the beach to the castle (1.5 hour walk) but you can easily drive and park there in about 10 minutes. Property was in a great location to see all the castles in the area and was great for myself, partner and small (well behaved) dog. I would highly recommend this property.
