“We had a great time at the property it has everything you need and lots of extra touches that make it home from home.”

It is comfortable and warm unfortunately for us the fire in the living room was not working but the owner said that it would be fixed as soon as she could get somebody to come. We will definitely return there is lots to see and do in the area and the local people are very friendly and welcoming. Can recommend the pubs in the village. Valerie is a great host and responded quickly to any queries we had. Thanks for a great holiday.

“We loved Rose Bank Cottage.”

Perfect location for visiting Northumberland - the cottage has amazing views over the countryside. Spotlessly clean with comfy beds and everything you would need in the kitchen - the milk and sweet treats were a nice touch. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely be back to visit.

Laura August 2024

“The house was spotlessly clean wonderful base to explore the beaches and castles.”

Beautifully maintained and everything you could need wonderful house would recommend. The only thing is it is set on steep drive and garden for young or older people and there are lots of wonderful bunnies hopping around if you have dogs regardless it's a wonderful place and would have been lovely if we had a proper summer to have a bbq too.

Gregory June 2024

“Very clean and comfortable property.”

The welcome pack of cakes and milk were much appreciated. We had no issues at all with any aspect of the property. All lights were working and appliances we did use all worked. Well equipped kitchen. The Kingsize bed had a very comfortable mattress and the pillows were perfect. As we are in our 70’s this helped us get a really good nights sleep. Our Husky enjoyed her stay as well. She settled down very quickly after our 8 hour drive. She loved the beaches too. There were plenty of brochures in the property to browse through for days out around the area and beyond. We would definitely recommend this property.

We loved Rose Cottage it was clean ,warm and comfortable lovely views We walked on lots of Northumberlands beautiful beaches and villages The only complaint from one of my daughters was one of the twin beds upstairs was creaky and woke her up We all enjoyed our holiday on Northumberland

- Joan, October 2023
Lorraine October 2023

“A beautiful modern house, well equipped and furnished.”

Plenty of space to move around. The position of the house, elevated from the private road to it, lends itself to appreciate the beautiful views of the countryside, and we could see the sea from the back bedroom. The ground floor bedroom and bathroom was good for the less mobile member of our family, and we had a wonderful week in that part of Northumbria, which we hadn't visited for several years. (Can recommend the chippy in the village!)

- Lorraine, October 2023

“We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks at Rose Bank.”

The property offers fantastic views of the surrounding area and a great base to travel from and explore key sites. Rose Bank offers both comfort and space. Cooking is made easy in the well equipped kitchen and the garden area is a lovely place to relax. Many thanks for the welcome pack.

Margaret July 2023

“Beautiful house in great location with super views.”

. Very comfortably furnished and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Ground floor bedroom and bathroom were a real bonus for the less mobile. Owner was very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend this property.

- Margaret, July 2023
Keith July 2023

“We would definitely recommend Rose Bank.”

It is situated on a very quiet side road, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. It is within easy walking distance of the towns pubs and restaurants. It is also near to the bus route between Berwick and Alnwick, which was brilliant. The house is altogether very comfortable, and clean, and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

- Keith, July 2023
Frederick J June 2023

“Quite probably one of the best properties we have stayed in.”

Immaculately clean, well furnished and equipped. Lovely homely feel to the place when we entered. The beds were very comfortable, spotless bedding and pillows. Bathrooms modern, with showers effective and easy to operate, the kitchen was amply equipped with everything we needed, and the welcome starter pack was a lovely gesture. We explored the well maintained gardens and enjoyed the privacy of the elevated location, hardly disturbed by unwanted noise, only the bird song. Good wifi and TVs in every room were great, the one in the conservatory was really nice for the afternoon and Netflix provided great evening movies when in the lounge.The home is really well placed for exploring the nearby coast and countryside. We would heartily recommend this property to others.

- Frederick J, June 2023
Nikki June 2023

“The cottage was excellent; very clean, and we were impressed and delighted by the well equipped kitchen.”

We also had an excellent response from the owner when Netflix went down, as she sorted it straight away. A major issue however, that has meant we haven't given a glowing five star review, was the mattress on the kingsize bed. It was broken to such an uncomfortable level that we couldn't use it. We ended up sleeping on the floor using two single mattresses from the other bedrooms. Not what you expect when you pay premium rates for a cottage. We really recommend the cottage, and would visit ourselves again...so long as the kingsize mattress is changed!

- Nikki, June 2023
Peter June 2023

“This was a lovely clean property with stunning views, it was in a lovely quiet location handy to shops and pubs, also bus stops just around the corner.”

The property also has a bbq which isn't mentioned in the facilities. All in all a lovely place to stay.

- Peter, June 2023
Peter May 2023

“The property was lovely, probably one of the best we’ve stayed at, and the vast open view at the front was amazing.”

It was also a nice gesture of the owner to leave a welcome pack. Located at Belford was ideal with being centrally located for fantastic days out in the surrounding area.

- Peter, May 2023
Mary May 2023

“Furniture is either rather old and well worn or modern and basic.”

Upstairs shower is always only Luke warm. On the whole a pleasant stay, but would not book again.

Paula July 2022

“An absolutely amazing property and location.”

So central to everywhere, such as Holy Island, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick. We easily filled our days. The property is huge, so many spacious rooms. It's unusual to find so many reception rooms so it was a good mix of being able to sit together and watch TV, or being able to sit in a room by yourself and quietly read. We loved the serving hatch into the very grand dining room! We set up a jigsaw on the large table in there and enjoyed the panoramic views on an evening. My only small gripe is the twin beds upstairs were very creaky and kept us awake. There was nowhere to report any issues like this, and it wasn't worth ringing the owners as it's unlikely to have been a quick fix. Having said that, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It truly was a delight.

- Paula, July 2022
Jennifer June 2022

“We have just had a wonderful holiday at Rose Bank and the property was everything we hoped it would be in terms of facilities and comfort.”

The bonus was the wonderful views! We sat outside several times during the day and also the evening, when the sunsets were absolutely magical! It is in a perfect location for all the places we wanted to visit. I very much hope we will return.

- Jennifer, June 2022
Ann June 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Rose Bank in Belford Northumberland.”

The house was in an excellent location &was clean spacious &very well equipped. The garden was immaculately kept and very colourful. The views from the property were stunning and there was a lovely seating area with parasol and barbecue .We met Valerie the owner on arrival at the cottage and appreciated the welcome gifts that had been left for us.We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Rose Bank.

- Ann, June 2022
Pat June 2022

“Rose Bank is a lovely comfortable house equipped with everything you could ever need for an enjoyable holiday.”

The beds were really comfortable. We didn’t use the lounge at all, we spent all our time in the conservatory when we were not out exploring the area. Belford is well placed for getting to all the Northumberland places of interest. Thank you the great welcome pack and thank you for a lovely holiday. We’ll be back.

- Pat, June 2022
Howard May 2022

“Excellent, well equipt home.”

Valerie has thought about all the little things most other lets omit. A VERY small moan is the small rear lawned area would benefit enclosing for dog owners but again, an observation not a complaint. A lovely home.

- Howard, May 2022

“If you were looking for a Home from Home in the perfect location for exploring Northumberland, then this is the place to stay.”

On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to see how clean it was. The property is extremely well equipped, all we could expect and more. Valerie the owner was just a phone call or text away to assist if required. Loads of safe private parking. Comfortable beds in spacious accommodation. Only a few minutes drive to Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle.

Stephen July 2021

“Rose bank is a fab holiday cottage.”

Everything was provided, it was exceptionally clean and very spacious. It is placed centrally so the whole of Northumberland was within reach for sightseeing. The area was a bit limited for eating out, as the food at the local inn wasn’t very good but the little chippy in the village was lovely, the fish was gorgeous. Overall a wonderful stay…..even the sun shone all week

The property

Nestled in a scenic spot within the village of Belford, is this attractive detached home, Rose Bank.

With a traditional interior and a peaceful setting, this inviting abode provides the perfect retreat for families and their four-legged friend looking to escape the rush of everyday life.

Enter into the bright and airy conservatory where you can relax and admire those picturesque countryside vistas, best accompanied with a well-deserved glass of wine.

Rustle up a tasty afternoon snack in the kitchen, before gathering in the dining room to discuss your plans for the evening ahead.

Wander into the traditionally styled lounge where you can sit beside the gas fire and ponder on the holiday thus far, or choose a book from the provided selection and lose yourself in a good read.

When the night rolls in, there are three wonderful bedrooms to choose from, including a king-size double and two twins, with one twin on the ground-floor.

All bedrooms come up with TVs and ample storage space for your convenience, while a shower room on each floor serves the bedrooms.

Venture outside and set the dining table for some alfresco dining, ideal on a balmy evening, while your canine companion roams the lawns.

When you’re ready to explore the hidden gems of Northumberland, be sure to visit St Cuthbert’s Chapel, or admire the gorgeous sea views as you enjoy a bit of golfing at the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club.

Just outside the village is Swinhoe Farm Riding Centre for those equestrians in the party.

Take a trip to the Farne Islands to meet the colony of seals who call the island home and learn of the famous Grace Darling, daughter of the Longstone Lighthouse Keeper.

Those Harry Potter fans must stop by Alwick Castle and saunter through the grounds of this normal castle that used to film many iconic scenes in the movie.

Keen walkers will enjoy strolling through the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, stopping off at Lindisfarn Priory before visiting the Castle and North Shore along the way.
