“Comfortable cottage in a lovely location.”
Everything you need is there, a home from home. Very peaceful and quiet, just what we needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Heather “The cottage was lovely and cosy and exactly as advertised.”
There was ample space for clothing in the bedrooms and the beds were very comfortable. The owner came to see us on arrival and on the final morning which I thought was lovely. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine and box of chocolates. The cottage is situated in a lovely area and close to the village of Lowick. The village shop I have to say was like finding gold, and I would certainly recommend their home made pies and pastries. Overall I couldn’t have wanted for more. Certainly recommend it.
- Heather, September 2024Thank you I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

All the equipment you would need. A large secure garden which young grandson enjoyed playing football in and elderly dog enjoyed pottering around in. A very peaceful location but only about 5 miles from Holy Island, Bamburgh etc. Would def recommend.
- David, August 2023 -

Diana “This cottage just oozes quality.”
It has a high standard of furniture and decor, the woodburner produces exceptional heat. The owner is friendly and the cottage feels homely as it is very well equipped and in a nice quiet area. The garden was well looked after and was great for our wee dog as it was all secured. Handy for Wooler, Seahouses and Berwick on tweed.

Paul “We had a fantastic week here in April, Set in the stunning countryside of Lowick.”
real hide away just what we needed after two years working flat out during Covid. There's everything you could ever need in the cottage and the beds and bedding is top quality and so comfy. The owner made our Easter morning, with a visit with a freshly born Lamb to say hello too. We originally booked this break for 2020 but it had to be moved .. It was definitely worth the wait and won't be our last stay.
- Paul, April 2022Thank you so glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Richard “Cosy Northumberland cottage.”
Ideally situated to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Edinburgh approx 80 mins away for the more adventurous. Property listing has contradictory information re availability of WiFi. Pleased to confirm WiFi is available and worked well throughout the week. Welcome pack of wine & chocs well received. Enjoyed our time here and would stay again if in the area.
- Richard, October 2021 -
Pat “Very pleased with our stay at Barmoor Ridge.”
The added extras left by the owner were very welcome. The welcome from the owner was very hospitable and friendly, especially Stan.
- Pat, October 2021 -
Jane “Barmoor Ridge is a wonderful cottage.”
It's like home from home,comfortable, well equipped, well situated and spotlessly clean. Mrs Reavley is very welcoming we had another perfect stay here and will be back ,we highly recommend it.
- Jane, October 2021 -
Rachel “A very cosy cottage within easy access of many attractions.”
The garden surrounds the cottage and is enclosed, our border collie enjoyed many sniffs! The log burner was very welcome after a day of walking, we all enjoyed relaxing in front of that. There are fields surrounding the cottage, and lots of wildlife to see. The farm is directly opposite the cottage, but we didn't hear any noise from it at all.
- Rachel, September 2021 -
Richard “Directions for finding the cottage would benefit from being more specific.”
Ie turn right at the sign for Woodend, Woodside.
- Richard, August 2021 -
Dawn “We had a relaxing holiday at Barmoor Ridge.”
The cottage was clean and comfortable in lovely rural surroundings and with a very welcoming host. We took our bikes on the train from London to Berwick-Upon-Tweed so that we could explore the countryside and would recommend it for a green holiday!
- Dawn, July 2021 -
Shirley “Excellent cottage well maintained excellent facilities.”
Really enjoyed our stay, lovely peaceful location would definitely book again if property was available.
- Shirley, October 2020 -
Jane “Barmoor ridge is a wonderful cottage, very cosy, immaculately clean.”
Extremely well equipped with everything you need. It's in the perfect location as a base with everything you want to visit not far away. The owner is very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. We would highly recommend this cottage you won't be disappointed. Places you should visit holy island, farne Islands, Spittal, Bamburgh, Beadnell, Seahouses, ,Ford, Ross, Dunston beach,Warkworth, Coldingham bay.
- Jane, September 2020 -
Susan “It was a delight to stay in a cottage that was so clean and comfortable, many thanks to the owners .”
- Susan, September 2020 -
Paul “Upon arrival we found a lovely bottle if wine and chocolates, which were enjoyed whilst playing board games.”
The cottage is superb, spotlessly clean. the garden is private and secure and our Yorkie loved it. the location is ideal, lovely days out at the coast
- Paul, August 2020 -
Barrie “A perfect spot for a relaxing holiday in beautiful countryside.”
The east coast is in sight from the cottage, so it is only a car ride from lovely beaches, and time should be spent in the neighbouring villages whose history is fascinating. A heavy horse sanctuary and a wild cattle reserve should interest animal lovers and, even nearer to the cottage, wildlife abounds in the farmland which encircles the house. The owner is on hand but unobtrusive, and the home she has created for her visitors lacks nothing. It is beautifully furnished, very tastefully decorated and it is warm and cosy (for late-summer visitors like us). This whole experience has left us with happy memories, which will certainly last .... until our next visit!
- Barrie, October 2019 -
Ann “We love staying at Barmoor Ridge, however a few improvements have been carried out which enhance the stay even more.”

- Ann, September 2019 -

A great peaceful base to explore Northumberland. The cottage was everything we expected and more. The owner was extremely welcoming, lovely welcome gifts on arrival.

- Kirsten, August 2018 -
Ann “Just superb, the cottage was truly home from home, no notices scattered about the place with endless do's and don't's.”
Originally our holiday was for one week, but we extended it to two weeks.....and prior to going this time, we had already booked the same cottage for two weeks in September, 2019, to celebrate our Golden Wedding, we know we will will not be disappointed.
- Ann, May 2018 -
