Northumberland Self Catering cottage, Bruno's Bothy, Belford, sleeps 4

Great Cottage, Fantastic Location
We've made it a bit of a tradition to stay in a cottage at New Year with our friends. I think Bruno's Bothy has been our favourite so far. The cottage is easy to find on the old A1 just North of Belford. Plenty of car parking at the rear and easy unpack. The cottage is easily big enough for two couples. We normally have a friendly debate over bedrooms, but both bedrooms here are big. Both have a superb view of the Northumberland coast between Lindisfarne and Bamburgh. Kitchen is small, but perfect for one person to work in with a glass of wine on the go! The kitchen is very well appointed, especially the great cooker with multiple ovens. The living and dining room is the heart of the house and is great for relaxing, dining and planning the days ahead. We spent New Year's Eve on Lindisfarne, thirty minutes away. Just remember to check the tide tables to time your visit. There and back! New Year's Day we spent with hundreds of other people who had the same idea on Bamburgh beach, ten minutes away. The pubs and tea rooms of Bamburgh were rammed full of people. We decided the cottage had everything we needed so we went back to be cosy and warm! So, a great cottage in a fantastic location means we will definitely be back.

Cracking Location, Great Cottage
Family Holiday for a week in Northumberland - me, wife, 14 month old daughter and dog. This was the perfect place to stay. Well equipped cottage and all the facilities for small child and dog. Just off the A1 (off another road so not got the A1 noise) and close enough to Belford for a 20 minute walk to the pubs/shops. Also google maps doesn't show off the new garden - a south facing enclosed little sun trap with parking right next to it. If you need a base to go visit the wonderful place that is Northumberland, this is definitely the place to do it from. 20 mins from Berwick, 20 mins from Anwick, 5 mins from Bamburgh, 10 mins from Seahouses (where you get the boat to Farne Islands). 2.5 hours from Leeds - easy peasy. The cottage itself is very well equipped and quiet and very cozy. Marni the owner was great at communication - made sure we had everything we needed (e.g. travel cot and high chair on arrival) and that we had a good stay but in no way intrusive. Also sent my clothes back to me straight away after leaving a wardrobe full! Highly recommended

Great place to stay
We had a smashing visit at Bruno's Bothy. Our first time to Northumberland and the location is brilliant, with views across to the Farne Islands and easy access to the A1 to get out and about. Marni was really great and got back to us quickly when we had any questions. Property is very well laid out and lovely to have a log burner/fire.

Well located comfortable pet friendly cottage
We booked this cottage as it was pet friendly and well located to explore the beautiful county of Northumberland. Being December it was cold and snowy, we experienced some human error with the heating, which Marni and Scott bent over backwards to help us to be warm and toasty. The cottage is well equipped ( we missed a dustpan) and comfortable. Good off road parking, which is a real help. We had a wonderful time exploring, from Edinburgh, To the must see Farne Island. we would return, maybe in the spring. The most helpful and friendly cottage owners we have met. Many Thanks

Home from home with the dogs
Had a great week at Bruno's Bothy ideally situated for beaches, castles and island adventures. The cottage was like home from home we felt welcome as soon as we stepped through the door, great attention to detail throughout the cottage. Would not hesitate to recommend it.
