“Beehive barn is lovely and comfortable.”
It is large and well suited to six people. We were only two so had lots of space. We visited in Feb expecting bad weather but it was sunny but windy. The cottage is exposed so the wind rattles through. We had some trouble with the heating on the first day where the thermostat didn't connect so we were very cold. It connected on the 2nd day so we could set it to come on. The location is great for the Northumberland coast which we spent walking for the week. You need supply your own wood for the fire if you want it on. Would highly recommend this cottage

Thank you for your review Beverly and I'm pleased to see your comment "Would highly recommend this cottage" and we are pleased that you enjoyed your week.
However, I would like to address a couple of points in your review:
- The barn is not cold. You highlighted an issue to me with regards to the thermostat which I immediately responded to. Once the thermostat had been switched back onto 'Schedule' rather than manual 'boost' you informed me the barn was toasty. This issue was purely about the thermostat settings from prior use, not a lack of connection, and was an easy/quick fix.
- Whilst your stay was during some of the worst storms the North East has seen in a while, the wind does not 'rattle through' the barn. The walls are at least 3ft thick and there is double glazing throughout. I can imagine it sounded that way in such high winds, but the barn conversion is of a very high standard.
