RECENT CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Owners next door were very helpful without being intrusive. Property was ideally situated for visiting the many attractions in the area - e.g Alnwick, Lindisfarne, Edinburgh (park the car and catch the train at Alnmouth!) Hadrian's Wall.

Very friendly and helpful owner. Lots of information on things to see and do in the area. Very good for dog owners, lots of walks, beaches, birdwatching, golf etc. Weather was great too.

Shunting Cottage was excellent, it was really nice inside and it was in a lovely location. The owners were absolutely fantastic, ever so friendly and helpful. The whole holiday was wonderful and we were very sorry to leave. The property was real value for money.

Excellent and very friendly couple who where always on hand if you needed advice but always respected your privacy. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet get away from it all holiday and don't worry about the trains, once you have heard one the rest become 2nd nature- not a problem.
