I just wanted to say how impressed we were with everything when we visited recently. The cottage (Wood) was lovely and warm, clean, cosy and welcoming and the spa facilities were fantastic. - As a naturally early riser I was lucky enough to have the pool etc to myself each morning. What a peaceful treat. I will DEFINITELY be coming back and will be recommending you to others! Thank you, (and I hope your holiday was as relaxing) Judith |

We had a fantastic time at Beacon Hill Farm. The cottage was excellent, very clean and well equipped and very private. The area is teeming with wildlife and the children particularly enjoyed watching the rabbits outside their bedroom window. The farm is really well set up with lots to keep the children entertained and the spa is fabulous. The wood is beautiful and we highly recommend campfire cooking. Megs lake was also a highlight. We had not been to Northumberland before and it is a lovely area with superb beaches, castles and walks. We would particularly recommend Cragside House and also a trip with Puffin Cruises fron Amble. In all it was an outstanding holiday and one we would highly recommend. Matt, Helen, Ruby, Nancy and Jennifer |

Alun, We have just arrived home after a brilliant week at Stable Cottage. The site had everything we needed and the weather was very kind to us. We made good use of the leisure facilities which are fantastic. We also enjoyed the Harry Potter trail in the woods, completing it after several hours spread over a couple of days, I have the scratches to prove our efforts! We also enjoyed cooking sausages at the Woodland camp and generally wandering in the woods. Megs Lake was a beautiful place and the views were amazing. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you. Pete, Mandy Adele, Liam, Rena Lynch. |

Our second visit of the year, in May 2010, to Willow Cottage which is definitely becoming our "home from home." Another fabulous week, enjoying the swimming pool, woodland adventures and walks across the Estate. A great treat to come back to is the wonderful home-cooked food prepared in advance by Kate Howard. This time we took the open top bus tour around Alnwick (the top deck is a must!)and visited Chillingham Castle (what a sense of history!) and the Wild Cattle (from a safe distance!). With our 4 year old son, we had fun on the Heatherslaw railway and in the villages of Ford and Etal. Plus a wonderful day on the beach at Low Newton with simple but good food at the Ship Inn - this location is great for young children on the beach! We do so hope to return next year. Well done Alun and the team for giving all your visitors such a happy, memorable and relaxing time! |

Beacon Hill cottages are an amazing, well equipped and highly recommendable set of cottages. I stayed in with a party of 30 guests and we were well treated and got excellent value for money. The cottages were clean, spacious and fitted with all modern amenities. The facilities on site are all fantastic and kept to a modern and clean state. Alun and his groundskeeper Tony were both friendly and courteous at all times and (Tony even kept the grass short for us to play football) I would highly recommend anyone wishing to stay there, to go ahead and book early as not to be disappointed. Both Beacon hill and Quarry were our favourite cottages. Thanks John Weatherall and Seimon Lewis |
