We have had a fantastic week at Archer's Cottage. One large bedroom downstairs with access to a WC and a smaller double and extra single room upstairs with shower room - great for the kids! Has all the equipment you would need in the kitchen and a very handy utility with plenty of storage for coats, shoes and all your 'stuff'! A secure front and baRead moreck garden that the dog can use and a lovely welcome tray with fresh flowers, snacks and fresh milk. We visited The Fishing Boat Inn down the road - the food and service were great but note no dogs inside which is a shame. Lovely local beaches, plenty of walks and so close to Alnwick with all it has to offer. The cottage was warm, comfortable and spacious. We will definitely visit again. One thing to note, if you have 2 cars, parking can be tight round the back if the spaces for other cottages are being used - but we managed fine with one (large) car! Hide
