We were welcomed by Noelle who gave us lots of information for the surrounding area. Much appreciated. Lovely warm, cosy cottage. Well equipped. Our dog was welcomed and there were throws to ensure the sofas were kept clean. Appreciated the little things. Flowers, chocolates, logs and kindling for the great log burner. Beds were comfortable.Read more The village of Whittingham was lovely. No shops or pub but that was ok. So quiet at night. Bliss. Would highly recommend Mundles Cottage. Hide

Mundles is a lovely little cottage in the tranquil village of Whittingham. The location, just off the A697, provides easy access to all parts of north Northumberland. The property is tastefully furnished and well equipped, and also benefits from a delightful courtyard garden. Friendly and helpful owner. Recommended.

We chose the cottage because it was listed as dog friendly and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The cottage was in a lovely village, quiet and peaceful with some lovely nearby walks. The secluded courtyard garden was perfect to sit out in the evening so the dogs weren't distracted. The cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen and launRead moredry room. The dogs were catered for too: throws for the furniture and a handy hosepipe at the back gate in case of muddy paws. We were close to the Northumbrian National Park and the fabulous beaches, as well as Lindisfarne, Alnwick, Rothbury, Bamburgh etc. We definitely hope to be back for another holiday. Hide
