Fourth time stopping at the cottage

Fourth time stopping at this fabulous cottage. Well equipped with a lots of great space outside for parking multiple cars and garden for the dog. In a great location with options for eating, drinking along with The Village Shop. Lots of beautiful walks from the cottage. What’s not too like 😃.

Thoroughly Recommended

We have just spent a week in the 'Ingram' cottage, and found it to be perfect for our week exploring Northumberland. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a lovely location. The booking process was easy, as was the access to the property. Overall, thoroughly recommended, and if we're up in Northumberland again, I know where we'll be stopping!!

A Perfect Stay

Cottage is truly perfect in every way, warm, comfortable and fully equipped with everything you may need. Location again perfect, beautiful beach 0.5 miles walk. We had fabulous meals in Joiners Arms next door (need to book as busy) and also in Whittling House in Alnmouth. Came home feeling, relaxed and refreshed. Would definitely recommend.

High quality cottage

High quality, environmentally friendly property. Exceptionally well furnished with secure back garden for dogs. The swallows nesting in the garage were a treat.

The Archers, a gem on the Northumberland coast…

Just setting off home after a wonderful week at The Archers.
The accommodation is definitely 5 star with quality fittings and luxury finishing touches. Stanley (our Cockapoo) was made to feel at home, the enclosed driveway and terrace was safe for him to roam.
The location of The Archers is excellent for the coast and next door to The Joiners Arms where we were made welcome and had some fabulous food and drink.
Just one observation (not a criticism). The master bedroom on the first floor is a lovely area with lots of space and a super king size bed would be a great addition to give an even more relaxed visit.

Beautiful cottage in fantastic…

Beautiful cottage in fantastic location.
Enjoyed a relaxing week with our dog staying at Lynecroft. The accommodation was spotless and very well kitted out. Very secure large garden for the dog, which is again beautifully kept. 15m walk to the beach and within easy reach of pubs. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want to switch off and not have to worry about driving anywhere.

Home away from home

Lovely clean, well equipped and spacious bungalow. In a great position to visit the Northumberland coast. Nice village pubs to walk to and great to be able to walk out into the beach.
Lynecroft gives you the comfort of home away from home.

Lynecroft Cottage

Great holiday venue for a chilled out experience. Lynecroft was excellant, clean, well equiped, spacious and a fantastic location for touring or visiting the local beach for those long walks!

A lovely cottage in a picturesque village, walking distance to a couple of country pubs. This cottage was very spacious with ample parking and a huge garden. Our family of 6 stayed here while we attended a family wedding close by and it was a perfect location. Very clean and tidy with spotless linens and towels,

Brilliant

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Arches in January and would definitely return. The cottage was absolutely spotless on our arrival and had everything you could possibly need for a home from home stay. They also provided a travel cot, stair gate and high chair for our little one. It is perfectly situated only a 10 minute walk from the beach and a lovely pub right next door for food and drinks. We look forward to a return stay.
