Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"One of the best equipped self catering properties we have ever stayed in."
Great that it has a downstairs bedroom and shower room for less mobile people, my mother loved it!
Brilliant base for visiting the coast and the usual tourist areas. We have been to Northumberland many times but this introduced us to an area we haven't been to
before. Quiet and great place for exploring the history, wildlife and coastal villages.
Perhaps update the information booklet, instead of having a cupboard of older leaflets to sift through and perhaps a 'Visitor Book' for people to add comments and recommendations for those less familiar with the area.
Missed not having a bath.
Bird feeders would be a great addition to the garden.
Definitely somewhere we would stay at again!

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.

"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.

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!)

"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.

"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!

"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.

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.
Tick off the attractions of Northumberland from this charming dwelling.
The picturesque Northumberland village of Belford lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the popular walled towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The pretty coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away. Belford itself is an old coaching village with a pleasant square and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is ideally placed for exploring the Northumbrian Coastal Route, Cheviots, the renowned Northumberland Coastline and the Scottish Borders. The opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from nearby Seahouses, is not to be missed. Alternatively check the tide times and cross to Holy Island to visit the historic Lindisfarne Priory.
