Stable Cottage Reviews

Philip
A very cosy and comfortable cottage in a great location. It was very clean and had everything that we needed for a great stay.
Yvonne
This was a lovely cottage well appointed and warm . The garden was particularly good . The kitchen was well equipped apart from only 3 teaspoons The shower worked well the bedrooms were comfortable . The sitting room homely . Being within walking distance of Belford centre was a plus . I can recommend the deli . Lots of places in easy reach .. holy island ,Banburgh , Berwick and Alnwick all worth a visit . Would highly recommend this cottage .
Loved our stay at Stable Cottage! Lovely quiet spot but not too far to walk into the village. A good central location to visit all the beaches and tourist attractions.Warm and comfortable, we didn't need to light the wood burner as electric heating very efficient. Lovely garden and friendly hens that visited every morning! There was everything we needed and recommend that you book for a stay.
My wife and I both rate this holiday let as being one of the best we have ever had. It is well equipped, very comfortable and is in a very attractive and quiet location. We feel we could highly recommend it to all our friends and relatives.
Nicola
Really loved our stay here and would definitely return. Owners were very helpful and the cottage was a brilliant find. Fantastic location with plenty to do in the area. Only a short walk into the village. Log fire was a nice touch and the garden was beautiful to sit in.
Michael
This is a comfortable well laid out, clean and equipped property. Access, parking and facilities are good. We did not meet the owners who live opposite but everything was easy to use inside. There were books, games and DVDs in addition. We appreciated the biscuits, tea and coffee left to use and wood for the stove. There was a lot of useful tourist information left to use. There were some bulbs needed replacing inside. The bedroom curtains let in sunlight in the morning blackout linings or blind in summer would be appreciated. There was a minor leak from the shower at the side which pooled next to the toilet which is of concern for the integrity of the flooring. This might be a faulty sliding door seal or sealant of the glass panel. The shower base is very slippery and a shower mat would be useful for children and the elderly.
The place was spotless and lovely and warm when we arrived. The only down side would have to be the shower, the shower is good the only thing wrong I would say is that there isnt a shelve to put shower gel etc, you just have to put it on the floor of the shower unit. It still wouldnt stop us coming back though
Nevila
We had the most amazing time like family! The sunrise was justifiably every single day! Great Location!! We had every day a new place to visit and have fun with the kids too !!!
Caroline
Lovely cottage, very well equipped and cosy with log burner in the evenings. Great location from which to explore Northumberland. We would definitely recommend it.
Andrew
This is a great cottage it does exactly what it says on the tin. Belford is a great location to take in a lot of Northumberland. The cottage was clean, homely and comfortable a nice place to come back to after a long day exploring the area. Would recommend to other people.

Lovely cottage everything you needed
Christian
Lovely, cosy, clean, quiet and comfy cottage. Great location with access to A1 allowing ease to visit many locations north, south and coastal routes.
Wonderful holiday. Property excellent.
Robert
Great location, lovely accommodation, clean with reasonable facilities. Very poor shower, water pressure. Heating totally inefficient, accommodation too cold in April, would hate to be there in January. WiFi terrible.
Pauline
Stable cottage is like home from home. It's a very relaxing and peaceful place to stay. There is everything provided in the cottage you could possible need. The cottage comes with a lovely garden for you to use.
Fantastic property, warm and cosy with all required amenities. Certainly will be back
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay very much. The Christmas decorations added to our enjoyment and fresh eggs from the owners The only disappointment we had was the lack of pressure in the shower impossible washing long hair , which we both have. I was looking forward to the shower as I moved six months ago and have been living in ABB. However this would not prevent me from booking again providing pressure was attended to. I must add this cottage had it been on the market I would have been the first to put an offer in
Vernon

Fantastic week, wonderful cottage, brilliant garden for breakfast in the warm sunshine, very clean and very comfortable. My only regret was we should have stayed for two weeks. Highly recommended.
Elaine
Fabulous cottage and location. Very peaceful, but not too far within walking distance of supermarkets, and pubs serving food. Very well equipped cottage. Garden excellent for sitting relaxing and watching the wildlife birds, hedgehogs and sheep.
We had a lovely stay in Stable Cottage the house was comfortable and well equipped, with a great garden space. The location was peaceful and convenient for the main villages and several beaches. The hosts were friendly and helpful, providing advice about nice beaches and places to eat. Many thanks to the hosts for enhancing our stay.
Angela
Fantastic property, my husband has mobility issues so the ground floor, walk in shower, park8ng at the door and outlook onto the garden were perfect. The accommodation was to a high standard and beautifully clean. We had some great tips of places to go from the owners who live close by. A perfect holiday for us.
Kathleen
We had a lovely stay at stable cottage. Excellent location for the activities we wanted to do. Very quiet and peaceful location. All the equipment we needed for our stay was provided for our comfort and we would definitely stay there again.
Brendan
Needs updating and a good clean, pillows need to be changes as very dirty and stained.
We had a wonderful stay. Cottage was exactly as described and easy to find.Handy for the local village and lots of lovely places to visit. Everything we needed was supplied,but the owners were on hand had we needed anything. I wont hesitate to return.
The property is in a great location, very quiet. We walked into the main village every day, a bit of walk up hill to return. The house was very clean, and had all the accessories needed to do some good home cooking. We were even welcomed with some flowers and biscuits, which was a lovely touch. Thanks for a very comfortable, family friendly stay.
A lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings. Ideal location for exploring the coast.
Brilliant cottage clean well laid out , in a nice quiet location, owners close at hand if any problems. Would stay here again if looking for somewhere in this area.
Comfortable, wellequipped cottage. Beautiful garden, although it wasn't really warm enough to make the most of it during our stay! Quiet location, but perfect for exploring Northumberland. Would definitely recommend.
Elaine
Fantastic property, everything you could need was there. A real home from home. Great location for exploring Northumberland.
We had a great holiday, the cottage was beautiful it lacked for nothing, It was fantastic to sit in front of a log burning stove in the evening and we had a ample supply of logs. The village of Belford is literally just a 10 minute walk away. All in all great week chilling out Thank you
A fantastic wee cottage thank you.
