Little Haven Reviews

We loved the property, great location, enclosed garden was brilliant for our terrier. On the doorstep for the beach an Bamburgh. Very kind welcome pack, we would definitely book Little Haven again.
Kenneth
This was our second stay at this cottage, its a lovely comfortable place to stay with a nice secure garden for our two collies, its in a great place, near to Bamburgh yet just off the beaten path and very quiet, also within an easy drive of so many lovely places. A lovely thoughtful welcome pack waiting for us was much appreciated. The wood burner was great in the evenings , very cosy. We would definitely recommend the cottage.
Kenneth
We really enjoyed our week at Little Haven, it was so comfortable and well equipped with a great enclosed safe garden for our two dogs. It was so cosy sitting by the wood burning stove at night too. A really thoughtful welcome pack was waiting for us. We would love to stay again soon, it was in such a convenient place a stones throw from Bamburgh village and so quiet. A real gem
Nicola

Lovely large cottage and very comfortable for us and our little dog. Enclosed rear garden which was an added bonus as our dog is scared of the world. Everything you needed was there. Enjoyed our break
An extremely wellappointed and wellmaintained holiday home. Beautifully located just a short distance from Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell, Little Haven is the perfect place to recharge and relax. Everything you need is provided as well as helpful guides to the local area. We would certainly recommend it.
Carole
This holiday property was the best I've ever been in. We had a fantastic holiday and the owner included everything we needed and more. The cottage is a credit to the owner and would highly recommend it to friends. It's the little details that helped to make our holiday a great one. Thanks.
Bernice
We had a wonderful holiday at Little Haven. The cottage is wellequipped, with everything you need for a trip away. All communication with the property owner, Caroline, was excellent, with a muchappreciated welcome pack. The location itself was stunning, with views of Bamburgh Castle and the surrounding countryside the cottage was extremely peaceful and relaxing. The cottage was perfectly located for exploring the North Northumberland coastline, and we would recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to visit this outstandingly beautiful area. We would love to come back.
Had a lovely stay at little haven,I got mobility issues so stairs didn't work for me to steep, other than that beautiful in the country great for the dogs lovely big back garden walking distance to the castle.
Great property. Great communication from Caroline. Great location for coastal path walks and convenient for driving into the borders and other town along the A1.
The cottage was in a great location and was perfect for the two of us and our dog. It was a lovely walk to Bamburgh on the quietest roads. Great for dog walking. The cottage was very well equipped. We would definitely go back. A lovely part of the country.
Property was amazing, perfect location and super cosy for a winter break with the log burner, would recommend to anyone.
Angela
Little Haven is just that. . a little haven. Its perfectly furnished with everything you could need in a home from home. The bed is so comfortable we had to force ourselves to get up in the mornings. The bedrooms are well furnished, and spacious. The shower is a powerful one which was needed after a day at the beach so close, only a short drive 20 minute walk away. Now to the garden, delightful to sit out in on warm evenings, or like us early mornings with a coffee and it is a completely safe space for your dog fenced and gated accordingly. Information regarding the appliances is in a plastic folder should it be needed. All basis covered! There was even a good supply of logs and firefighters with matches to start you off. The living room furniture is very comfortable, and the television is a good size very rare! not one of those small ones! The icing on the cake for us was the quick response from the owner Caroline, when there was a power cut, who answered the phone after the first ring and put our minds at rest, keeping us informed for the duration of the power cut. All in all I cannot recommend Little Haven highly enough. We will be back, not only is it easy to get to but if you enjoy watching wildlife its the perfect spot.
Lovely cottage well kitted out with everything you need. Small secure garden is ideal for dog owners and the location is perfect. There were roe deer in the field most nights and views of Bamburgh Castle from the front. The turn in the stairs is pretty tight and an elderly frail person may struggle with that but other than that its a lovely cottage
Very comfortable. A home away from home. Everything that you need is there. It is in a great location within easy reach of Bambrough and Seahouses and great access to the coast and towns of Northumberland. There are plenty of places to eat out and visit within a short distance and lots of good walks.
Little Haven was perfectly located and equipped for a lovely stay. We felt at home straight away. It was a nice surprise to find a secure garden for our dog to explore safely. It was only a few minutes drive or 20 min walk from to Bamburgh that has great pubs, a butchers and Pantry store. The beach is great for long walks overlooked by the castle. Lord Crewe pub was our favourite and the Potted lobster restaurant for seafood lovers. The copper kettle cafe has delicious cakes ! Seahouses is worth visiting where there are regular boats trips to the Farne islands. Barter Books in Alnwick , Cragside NT and Floors Castle were lovely trips out. The Barn at Beal and Carnabys are both lovely for coffee or lunch. Weve had a lovely time and will definitely be back
Brenda
We would highly recommend Little Haven, the name says it all. The property is delightful, spacious yet cosy and we loved it as did our dogs. Bamburgh is close by with the castle, a super butcher and the cakes from The Copper Kettle are delicious. We can also vouch for the seafood platter from The Potted Lobster. Yum! It is easy to venture further afield from the cottage, both walking and driving.Alnwick, Lindisfarne, Craster, Dunstanburgh, Embleton etc. etc.There is so much to see and do in beautiful Northumberland and Little Haven is the perfect base from which to do it.
We had a fantastic week at Little Haven! We have two large dogs, black lab and golden retriever and this property was absolutely perfect. We've taken them on several holidays previously and this is the first one where the outside space was totally secure and we could sit and relax without worrying where they were. The cottage was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed! Location was also fantastic, the village pub was about a 40min steady walk and the beach about 15min further on, lots of places to walk and sit, we had a great week. We will definitely be returning, thank you!!!
Alison
We loved our stay at Little Haven and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quiet location, a beautiful house and an enclosed garden. We loved the luxurious bed sheets and supercomfy bed, the lovely bathroom and the roomy, double aspect living area. The location was fantastic for access to Bamburgh and Seahouses. All in all a fantastic stay in a great property, thank you to Caroline who was so helpful and welcoming.
A wonderful cottage and a really comfortable home from home. It is fresh, bright and beautifully done, we loved it! There is everything you need plus some nice additions including a welcome pack and a map on the wall showing the local beaches and castles. The owners are great and very helpful. Our dog loved mooching in the secure important for us, well kept garden. It's rural and quiet but only 5 minutes drive from Bamburgh and you can see the castle from the house. I definitely recommend this cottage and we are looking at dates to book it for our Northumberland trip next year!
Gareth
We really loved it here. Quiet rural location. Close to all of the local attractions. The Beach at Bamburgh is one of the best in the UK and it was just down the road.
What a great cottage this is to stay in. It has a lovely cosy feeling about it and the facilities inside are excellent. On arrival we were greeted with a welcome pack which helped set the tone for an excellent weeks stay. The kitchen appears to be fairly new and has everything you could need if you want to eat in. The bathroom is very nice too as are the bedrooms. Outside there is an enclosed, private garden with a grassed area and a patioseating part too. The front is a shared courtyard. The location is approximately a 5minute drive from Bamburgh which makes it an excellent location for the beach, the castle, the restaurants and the must try icecream! If you prefer to go off the beaten track the cottage is situated on one of the back roads so its perfect for exploring some of rural Northumberland and keeping away from the crowds. We would definitely recommend this cottage for all the reasons above but also for the excellent communication from the owner and the fact that she permits dogs to bring their owners to stay too.
Little Haven is absolutely lovely, very comfortable and welcoming. We felt at home straight away. It had everything you could possibly need during your stay. The garden was perfect for our dog.
