Beacon Hill Forum

We have just got back from a fantastic week in Stable cottage.

The cottage had everything we could want (and didn't remember to bring!), including an ipod dock. We really appreciated all the little extras which just came as standard. The on-site facilities were also fantastic. We used the pool every day, and the play barn and mini tractors were a big hit with our 22 month old. The spa was great and we both enjoyed our massages!

We enjoyed great days out to Craster, Alnmouth, Bamburgh, Alnwick, Druridge Bay and Seahouses. The beaches were fantastic, but we really enjoyed knowing that every day we were coming back home to our little haven at Beacon Hill. Thanks to everyone there for a fantastic week. We can't wait to come back.

Another fabulous week - and our first stay in Willow, having previously experienced Larch and Kestrel. Everything top-notch, including wonderful food to come home to, expertly prepared by Kate Howard. So little to do and so much to enjoy, you do not even realise you are self-catering! The views were fantastic - we would never tire of them and we enjoyed a deserted pool most days with our 31/2 year old son, James.
We enjoyed visits to Alnwick Treehouse and the woodland walk, Wallington, Rothbury and Morpeth as well as walks in the countryside around these spots. Finished off with a bracing time at Alnmouth beach on the Friday.
Keep up the excellent standards Alun, Tony and the team.
We look forward so very much to returning in May.

we booked merlin cottage for a midweek break, and was not disapointed with our choice. it had everything you could ask for in it and more,spacious,relaxing,well-equiped. it was our first time in northumbland, and beaconhill. our children had a wonderful time and had lots to keep them busy. they want to know when there going back,hopefully soon

Our first visit, and highly recommended. We stayed in Quarry - very spacious, excellent views and extremely well-equipped. The open fire was very welcome as the snow arrived!

The kids loved the pool, and the play area. We particularly enjoyed the Laconium Room - warmed beds overlooking the snowy hills in the distance - very relaxing.

We ventured to Craster (kippers), Druridge Bay (great beach), Cragside, Alnwick (gardens, and spectacular castle open when it's not February...) and Beamish - all within very easy reach.

An ideal place for a family holiday. Thanks to Alun for a warm welcome, very helpful local knowledge and advice, and a great week. We look forward to next time.

This has been our second visit to Beacon Hill. The first time we stayed in Quarry which was lovely and spacious with fantastic views. This time we stayed in Beech, which again was lovely. The facilities, as ever, were fantastic, just sorry I didn't get round to having a treatment this time. We all enjoyed Kate's homemade meals, especially the beef in beer!
We've had another wonderful time at Beacon Hill and would like to thank Alun for a fabulous few days (certainly not enough), and also for your understanding and kindness regarding our previous booking - very much appreciated indeed.
Cheers, xx
