Goldfinch Reviews

Rebecca
The locks on both doors could do with improving replacing as the property didnt feel very secure. We do not think the French doors locked at all except for the bottom pin so that is worth looking at. We loved our stay. The only other things to note were that the high chair was very dirty when we arrived which was a shame as the standard of cleanliness otherwise was excellent. Also if you want to cater better to families with young children it could do with a guard for the wood burner, a stair gate good for dogs too and perhaps a step for the bathrooms.
Caroline
Lovely property, warm and cosy in an excellent location for a base to explore Northumberland. Very handy for the many beautiful beaches in the area but also getawayfromitall rural areas such as Rothbury and the Cheviots. Goldfinch had a lovely aspect overlooking the church, plenty of parking with the very welcoming Apple Inn literally on our doorstep.
Left at cottage.
Lovely cottage very clean and good location. Good pub in the village. It would have been better to know prior to arriving there is an extra cost for the hot tub!
Hibbert
We stayed many years ago when the properties were called Percy and Claxton owned by the Duke of Northumberland Estate, it was lovely then as it is now. Very comfortable and spacious, ideal when you have dogs downstairs to clean away paw prints. Maintenance came straight away to fix a broken loo seat found on arrival. They hadn't however got the message about ordering a highchair and cot, but they were brought over immediately. The welcome pack was great, local produce. We had Sunday lunch at the Apple Inn, it was poor quality for the price, which was a shame, actually the same price as Whittling House in Alnmouth which is fantastic. The spa was lovely, especially the full body massage.
Could not fault the cottage or the position.
Generally a good holiday letting in a very good setting. Good to have a pub and cafe in the village too. Some of the furnishing and particularly kitchen equipment was a little tired and stale and needs updating
Lovely, spacious, well presented accommodation in a great location. The Log burner and hot tub were great additions. An enjoyable stay
Lovely property, homely feel and well equipped with everything you need for a family with small dog. Hot tub was a great addition and well worth paying the extra for. The Beau Monde is a lovely facility to relax and unwind.
Great location for a lovely spacious property in a pretty village with a very handy dogfriendly pub with a great gin menu!
Beautiful property in a very quiet village. Home from home, everything you need and would want to come home to after a day exploring this beautiful region. All rooms extremely comfortable with lovely furnishings, bedding and towels. Thank you xx
