A wonderful family home, beautifully presented with every amenity for a holiday, and fabulous views. Excellent location, close to beach, golf course & village amenities. Within easy access of lots of Northumbrian treats. We had a great holiday! Thank you.

We were the last of our party to get there and everyone was texting us saying that we would not be disappointed...and we weren't. It is a spectacular house with generous size rooms for us to spill out into. The two lounges offered more flexibility for our group to diversify our activities in the evenings. The views from the house were beautiful andRead more varied with the mood-changing weather. It was impossible to resist early walks down to the beach on the sunny mornings. We walked south to Crastor one day and north to Newton-on-the-Sea on another. Cragside, Alnmouth, Farne Islands, Holy Island and Warkworth Castle are all within easy reach. The Greys Inn was so good to eat and drink in we went a few times. Comfortable beds, powerful showers, great views and the most spectacular Aurora sighting on our first night. We couldn't fault this place. Hide

The property was reasonably clean but the downstairs windows and gloss surfaces were so smeared I spent time on our first morning cleaning them all. The mattresses in 2nd floor double are very soft and really not suitable for anyone with back issues. While I wanted to raise these points overall the property was very well equipped and presented.

3 The Villas was an excellent house to stay in and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. The position of the house provided excellent walks and amazing views. We would certainly return to this house and we have already recommended it to friends and family
