Pipistrelle Reviews

Jackie
A lovely cottage which met everyone's expectations very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. There was plenty of hot water and good showers in all the bathrooms. The welcome pack was a lovely addition. The close proximity to the quiet beach was fantastic and the secure garden area meant that we could sit out and absorb the views of Lindisfarne in privacy. The only down side was the lack of any sign where to turn off the main road drove past a couple of times before finding the little turn off and the rough track driving to the cottage itself.
Fab property, would and have recommended it to friends and family. Love the property and its location, you cannot beat that sea view. Fantastic long walks on the beach every day, plus its near other attractions too. Loved that it was dog friendly too. We will definately return.
We had the best weekend, didnt want to come home. Everything was of an excellent standard and the setting of the property is simply stunning. As others have said, this property really does live up to the photos and definitely did not disappoint. Early morning strolls along the beach with not a soul in sight was simply bliss. Can not wait to return!
It is rare for us to stay in a properly that is actually better than the website detail. This one did!
Brilliant holiday home in outstanding location. Everything we needed, but most importantly it had very comfortable beds and great bathroomsshowers. We will definitely book again.
Well situated for the village of Bamburgh and within walking distance on the coastal path 1. 5 miles. Beach within 300 metres. Views of Holy Island and the sea. Excellent family accommodation.
Excellent standard of accommodation. The place was absolutely spotless and well equipped. Views across Budle Bay and beyond are amazing.
