Sean
Outstanding property in an exceptional location.
Merryl
A fabulous property. We have already booked for next year.
Margaret
Overall it was GREAT and we would highly recommend it to anyone.
Victoria
An excellent spacious property. Modern facilities and plenty of room for the 6 of us both in the kitchen/dining area and lounge. Cooking facilities and equipment plentiful and all lovely Very comfortable sofas and lounge and a nice sunny garden with furniture. The bathrooms were all large and modern with plentiful hot water for 6 showers when we returned from our days cycling. It was great to be able to store our bikes securely in the double garage using the side door entrance; this had been discussed with owners before arrival. Highly recommend for quality of property and location for exploring Northumberland and its beaches.
Roger
Excellent Very enjoyable and relaxing
Jane
The property was beautifully furnished and very spacious. The kitchen was immensely well equipped and a pleasure to use. The property was clean and very comfortable. It is located a short drive from the beach and is a great base to walk on the coast or visit the many attractions which include Alnwick gardens, Cragside and Lindisfarne.
Bruce
Very comfortable cottage with absolutely everything you could need. Excellent location for sightseeing with nothing really more than 30 min drive away. Would definitely recommend.
David
A fantastic property in a peaceful location. Spacious. Very tastefully furnished with high end fixtures and fittings. A real home from home. Would love to stay again in the future.
Norma
We had a relaxing Christmas at Driftwood. The house is very well furnished and equipped, a lot of thought and attention has gone into making it a lovely place to stay. Very easy to find walks nearby and good places to eat. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending it and would love to return.
Joan
The house which is a newish built property was immaculate, luxurious and very comfortable including the beds. It was spacious, well laid out and the kitchen in particular was exceedingly well equipped. It was a such a pleasure to stay there. It was in a very good and central location for seeing the wonderful sights of Northumberland. We made visits to Bamburgh, Craster and Dunstanburgh castle and Lindisfarne, Alnmouth , Alnwick and the National Trust property Cragside amongst others. There is lots to see and do and it is such a beautiful area especially the stunning beaches and coast. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend both the house and the area.
Matthew
Driftwood was a real home from home. The perfect location to explore the Northumberland coastal route and all it has to offer. Well equipped and a great size for a large family. Looking forward to a return visit already.
Brian
Driftwood was the best appointed cottage we have ever stayed in, there was an abundance of equipment and it was wonderfully clean and well kept throughout. The beds were comfortable and the pillows, allowing a wonderful night's sleep, it's well situated to get to most places in Northumberland, but a car is essential, it was a relaxing week and a great opportunity to unwind.
