What a wonderful week at Driftside! The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and had a truly enclosed and secure garden for our labs. Great for morning dog walks with the coast a 10 minute walk away. Ideally placed for exploring with Alnwick, Warkworth, Cragside and Seahouses all within easy reach.

The kitchen cold water tap was continuously running when we arrived. And this had been reported by the cleaner on the Sunday. However it took 3 days for the matter to be resolved and as the tap had been out of use during this time it was an inconvenience having to go to the utility room each time we needed cold water.

Perfectly spacious,comfortable accomodation. Perfect location for visiting lots of attractions by car. Walking distance from a lovely beach at Low Newton which we enjoyed frequently. Perfect for our family including our two dogs- small, enclosed garden was great. The Joiners Arms is a lovely gastro pub a stones throw away.

A very roomy, well fitted cottage at an excellent location. Ideal for our family including the dog. A great location with only a 10 minute walk to beaches with access to longer walks along coastline. Additional bonus is the proximity to the Joiners Arms which is superb. Cottage is situated on a very quiet road with good parking.
