“My friend and I thought this was an excellent property for our purposes.”
We liked that it was situated on a quiet street with its own private parking that was easy to get into and out of since there wasn't a lot of traffic. It was very comfortable and convenient with one or two exceptions. As older visitors, we found the couch to be very difficult to get up from and the tub/shower combo difficult to climb into, but that probably wouldn't bother most people, and there was a large walk-in shower available. It is a large property and though we only used two of the three bedrooms, larger groups would have plenty of room to spread out. We spend several minutes trying to locate the cutlery which is secreted in a drawer inside the cooking utensils drawer beneath the cooktop, a configuration we hadn't encountered before, but once we'd overcome that difficulty, we had everything we could need for meals at home. We appreciated that we were within easy walking distance of Main Street, approximately 10 minutes or less from the harbor area and with several good restaurants, takeaways, and chippies within easy reach. The co-op has the usual necessities and there is a butcher close by, though you would need to go further afield to find a good selection of groceries. Nearby Bamburg has a good butchers with prepared meals on offer. We liked being within easy reach of day trips to St Abb's Head, Alnwick, Warkworth, Cragside, Hadrian's Wall, Belsay Hall, etc. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again and highly recommend it to others.
