Beautiful cottage in a lovely area
We all enjoyed our stay in this exceptionally well equipped cottage. We went for my 70th birthday celebration with our family and 2 dogs and we were all very comfortable. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very spacious.We enjoyed all the local beaches, and a boat trip to the Farne islands. We also had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Rocking horse cafe and a delicious meal overlooking the sea at the Jolly fisherman in Craster.

Fantastic
A fantastic property in a great location to explore the area. The house is just gorgeous with plenty of space. We enjoyed the open plan kitchen and living room space with the fire. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that is needed and the wine and cake left for us was greatly received. The bedrooms were great for our visit with everything being clean. Would definitely recommend and would come back again.

Lovely Stay at Pyg Pen
Our first visit to Northumberland & to Pyg Pen, will definitely return to both. Lovely house in a peaceful rural location but so near to Alnwick & the coast. House was spotless on arrival and so well equipped. Our dog, Dexter, loved the enclosed garden. Thank you for a great holiday!

Beautiful property. Spotlessly clean, lovely welcome gifts and a fabulous location. The property is home from home. Well appointed to access great beaches. Walking distance to the local distillery and of course rocking horse cafe. We will absolutely be coming back. Safe and secure garden for our pup too. Highly recommended 👌

Beautiful property in the perfect location
A lovely property for our five night stay. On the doorstep of beautiful coastline, but also close enough to the cheviots for a trip there. Our children loved the extra living room and claimed it as their own. The bottle of wine and welcome cake were a nice touch. Thank you!

Long weekend
We chose Pyg Pen Cottage for its location, near to our daughter in Blyth. Had a wonderful weekend visiting Holy island, Beadnell Beach, Dunstunbugh castle etc. Coffee and cakes in Rocking Horse cafe were amazing. The cottage was large enough for us all and the weather enabled us to use the safe garden with a toddler and dogs. Would highly recommend to anyone.
