Taffy March 2024

“Fantastic home from home.”

The accommodation was clean, well fitted and very comfortable. Excellent communications from the owner. We arrived late on a dark night and the only thing I would say it is a little tricky to first find the home at night - best to arrive in the daylight

- Taffy, March 2024

Thank you very much for your kind feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We have noted your comments and will also review if we can update the arrival instructions to make them clearer. Many thanks and we hope to see you again some time! Property Owner

“Only moan would be the very late entry and early leaving times otherwise very good thanks”

- Peter, September 2023

Thank you very much for your kind feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We have noted your comments and will look at anything we can do regarding entry and exit times. We do however need to allow sufficient time for cleaning and any maintenance between guests to ensure that the property is as guests would expect on arrival. Many thanks for the useful feedback. Property Owner
Lynda September 2023

“We have just spent a week at The Shieling.”

On arrival we found the property to be very clean. It’s in a quiet location, it was well equipped, had comfortable beds, and for holiday accommodation it is quite spacious. Our breakfasts in the conservatory with views to the sea were a good start to the day! The lodge is well placed to visit lots of Northumbrian attractions. Good amenities can be found locally at Warkworth and Amble. The Shieling is definitely a find, a peaceful retreat after a busy day touring. We hope to return ourselves and will be recommending to friends. Lynda G.

“We had a lovely holiday thank you.”

The location was beautiful, especially the views and the daffodils. The property was lovely and very warm. The equipment was very good.

“Wonderful Lodge set in beautiful surroundings great base to explore Northumberland coast and what a beautiful coastline it is too.”
