Fantastic large family stay
We loved the layout and overall size of the property, not to mention the games room and BBQ pit in the garden. We couldn't have found a better location especially given the poor weather we experienced. It's got everything you need for a stay and we had a great time each and every day. There was the odd spot of dust here and there (under the beds) and a few cupboard doors need some attention but it didn't detract from the overall experience.

Superb
Lovely cottage for a big family gathering with dogs and kids - totally enclosed big garden so dogs and kids can run free - lots of inside and outside seating and tables for meals, and for people to do their own thing - 20 minutes walk to a lovely beach - brilliant games room Altogether highly recommended

Could be amazing
We so wanted to love Shepherd’s Cottage as it’s in a fantastic location and the layout and amenities ticked all our boxes, but sadly it didn’t compare well with the standard of other properties we’ve stayed at and paid similar for. In general the property felt unloved and a damn good clean would be a good start to putting things right. That said, it didn’t spoil a lovely weekend on the Northumberland coast.

Perfect facilities. Great for 8 oc us sharing
Shepherd cottage has really good facilities. We enjoyed them all. The cottage is charming. My only concern was the level of cleanliness. For example, the tables were sticky, the doors were dirty, evidence suggests they hadn't been cleaned for months. Furniture also needed cleaning. Otherwise very pleased.

Special birthday celebration
We booked an early birthday celebration for our 80 year old Mum to get the family altogether. What a perfect place we found. No interruptions from TV’s or other noises, games room which kept the “boys” entertained and the bbq hut which was the icing on the cake. A couple of minor issues upon arrival - lack of tea towels, oven gloves which were quickly resolved the following morning and the mattress in the family bedroom on the front of the house was horrific. We managed, we laughed, played and ate together the whole weekend, we will be back

unloved needs attention
overall the location ,the size and amenities are good. however the cleanliness was below our expectations.and some areas needed attention. The kitchen sink and washing up bowl were dirty. the front bathroom definitely needs upgrading and cleaning, The thermostat on the large oven isn't working, The tin opener is needs replacing. the oven trays also. The tv in the lounge was old with muffled sound and has to be retuned every time you turn it on if you want to watch BBC. The conservatory was lovely and we spent most of our time in there. The overall condition was not worth the high price and we will not return to this property.

2nd time here
We had such a great time in November 2022 that we decided to go back this year but in the lighter months of August so that we could enjoy longer days. the same as last year the cottage was very clean and had everything you would expect in equipment dishwasher, washing machine and a dryer, large fridge/freezer, very large oven and hob, we had plenty of towels and also beach towels. the conservatory is very large with a large dinning table and a couple of sofas, the main sitting room is very cosy and there is another large dinning room, the kitchen also has a large dinning table. there is plenty of space around the property for our 2 dogs, a BBQ hut which is fantastic , a Games room that we spent most of our time in in the evenings the beds are very comfortable . location is great for getting around as well.

Love, love, loved it
As a group of 10 plus a dog, we hired the Cottage, Lodge and Bothy and we all had a fab holiday. Beds are very comfy, showers are powerful, fixtures and fittings are good quality and all rooms are spacious. The garden is great for the dog and we had 2 BBQ’s in the BBQ hut, which was great. Plus spent a good few hours playing pool, snooker, table tennis, and darts in the best games room we have ever seen. We had a couple of minor issues which were sorted out quickly and efficiently. Huge tables meant we all ate together and played games in the evening. The location is amazing, we walked to beautiful Beadnell beach, had coffee/drinks at The Landing. Did the pub quiz at Craster Arms, boat trip to see seals from Seahouses, visited Bamburgh Castle and Beach, hired e-bikes from Alnwick cycles and went into Warkworth, golf and horse riding at Hagerstown Castle, crabbing off Beadnell harbour - there is loads to do in the area. We were all sad to leave and would love to return. It’s a very special place. Oh we also got a lovely welcome hamper too, including a beautiful cake and dog treats too. Would really recommend a stay here, thank you very much Sam and Stephen x

Lovely house for family celebration
Shepherd’s cottage is comfortable and deceptively spacious. Conservatory is beautiful, Games room is incredible and snooker and pool tables are as new. Bathrooms need an upgrade but I believe that’s going to happen in the near future. All in all a good choice for our family get- together!

Great for Family & Friends of all ages
The cottage is in the perfect location for exploring Northumberland,, or chilling in the huge sunny garden with a nice glass of wine, while food cooks in the BBQ hut, and children from 2- 90yrs old play in the enormous games room. The kitchen is well equipped with every utensil you can imagine, even has a mixer if you want to bake a cake,,, but that won't be necessary because the owners leave the most delicious cake, chocolate and wine on the big farmhouse size kitchen table to welcome you,, nice touch . The cottage itself is really well equipped, with very three very different and very comfortable sitting areas. The conservatory is best for sunsets, the small lounge for reading while small children play on the floor, and the main lounge for curling up in front of the log burner watching a good film. The bedrooms are all lovely with the added bonus of all having their own en-suite, this as you can imagine gives great privacy and saves on arguments of who's next for the shower, especially with big groups, and multiple families, as ours was. My husband and I rented the cottage for two weeks because of its central location, and to enable us to invite our adult children and grandchildren to come visit at different times. In total over the two weeks, we had 10 adults, 7 school children, 1 toddler and 3 dogs, and we all had a great time. What we didn't know, which was added bonus, was that in the original part of the cottage away from the other 3 bedrooms was a master bedroom, perfect for grandparents with views over the front and rear gardens. What's not to like, and the owners are so happy to help with anything you need. Happy Holiday was had by all.

Family stay
The booking process on line was easy. Communications with owner were quickly responded too and informative. Payment was simple on-line. Premises were perfect for our party of 10 people with plenty of space so that you were never on top of each other. The games room was an added bonus.

Family Break
The perfect location for sightseeing the Northumberland coast. The property was ideal for our three families and exactly as described. We have stayed in a number of properties but the amenities at the cottage were superb and far outweighed any we have previously visited. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Samantha and her family for all the hard work and effort in allowing us to stay here and have a great holiday. Nevil Ashcroft and family

All weather , all ages
The teenagers loved the games room and the variety of rooms available meant that everyone had personal space but could come together for meals. A fully equipped kitchen and large fridge was much appreciated, as were the arrival treats .The cake was delicious . Location is good for beaches and towns, and every leaflet,booklet and menu was available for local attractions. Even the set of binoculars on the shelf was a thoughtful detail . A fantastic week away with every type of weather , including some amazing thunderstorms and lots of sunshine . Thanks x

Wonderful spacious property, warm and welcoming, perfect for our 3 generations and furry friends.
We have had a wonderful week in Shepherd's cottage - what a gem of a place and with hosts who have thought of everything to make it home from home. A homemade cake on arrival was a fantastic greeting and Steve talked us through all the important bits (keys, heating, outside spaces and rooms) but left us to explore on our own, which was fab. One bedroom (sleeping 3) is off on it's own, next to the main lounge, which was great for us who liked to get up earlier than the rest as we didn't disturb anyone else. Great that all the rooms were en suite too. The lovely farmhouse kitchen, with seating at a table for 10, is a brilliant space for coming together at mealtimes, even if we were eating different things! Lovely big conservatory too which we used for board games and chill out space. We also had a go in the BBQ hut, which is really cosy and gets lovely and warm once the coals are lit. Great for us too was the bike store - got a 14 and 24 mile ride in on a couple of days. Some of the back lanes are lovely and quiet. And I ran 3 times during the week too, so the washing machine came in very handy :-) Beadnell beach is 15 mins walk away, or 3 mins in the car, great free parking in a lot of these coastal spots. Seahouses, Bamburgh, Alnwick all visited, as was Dunstanburgh castle, Berwick upon Tweed and Holy Island. All in all, a fabulous stay. Tried to book for next year's Autumn half term, but it's already booked out - I can't say I'm surprised! Thank you Sam and Steve, and best of luck with your new builds .... I definitely fancy trying those wood fired hot tubs! We will be back.

Fantastic home to discover Northumberland from :)
We booked the October school week with friends in Shepherd's Cottage, hoping to explore an area we did not know - what a fantastic base it turned out to be. The accommodation was more than we could have hoped for (4 adults and 3 'tween' girls) and we were made especially welcome by Sam and the lovely cake, chocolates and wine she left for us (as well as milk, tea, coffee ect.) There was also lots of very useful information on the local area. Shepherd's Cottage has everything and more you could want for a holiday home and was a fantastic place to spend time with friends ..... the girls even cooked for us one night and hosted a Murder Mystery game, which was great fun. We loved the BBQ hut and enjoyed cooking the great produce from the butcher in Bamburgh and the Games Room was well used. Beadnell is a short walk from the cottage and The Craster Arms pub does great food. We fell in love with the Northumberland coast - beautiful beaches, castles, great food, fantastic golf courses and friendly locals. The girls loved their day out to Alnwick Castle and learning the 'fly' a broomstick. We will definitely be back to explore some more and hope the weather will be as kind. Many thanks to Sam and family for making this a holiday with lots of memories. p.s. Many thanks to Sam for helping return a jacket we had left behind :)

Fantastic and comfortable accommodation with everything you would need. Excellent service.
Great accommodation for a weekend away catch up,with friends. All the rooms are warm and comfortable and there is lots of space to sit and catch up or for playing games. We really enjoyed the delicious cake which was there for us on arrival. All the rooms are well equipped, especially the kitchen which is a joy to cook and eat in. Any issues we had were dealt with promptly. This is now our 5th year of coming to Shepherd’s Cottage and we are booked again for next year.
