Bilton Farm Cottage No1 Reviews

A lovely property in an excellent location. The house had everything one would need to ensure a comfortable stay. The garden is secure and provides a great space for your dogs. Beds very comfy. Yes the stairs are steep but there are hand rails on both sides.
I don't want to write too long as it will make it sound bad, when actually this is the best place we've stayed at so far in our ELEVEN visits to these areas. The size of property is great, parking is great and garden is amazing our dog needed supervising any time she went out as the fences are short and she's a big girl but she absolutely loved the garden, everywhere else we've stayed had a tiny courtyard at most. The beds were very very comfy, all facilities we needed were there and it was decorated very nice and it was very clean overall. We did 7 nights but then extended for an extra 3 the day before we were meant to leave. This is definitely the one I'd be most likely to return to, it really was a lovely stay There are things I would do if I owned it, but it's all personal preference, besides having a motion sensor light outside by key safe, and having double glazing and central heating. I'd still come back again without doubt.
Rachel
Great cottage perfect location for exploring Northumberland. Big garden to enjoy and safe for dogs. Clean, comfortable and basic facilities. Toilet bathroom downstairs. Would definitely return. Thank you.
Bilton cottages are in an ideal location to explore the southern area of Northumberland, and especially Alnmouth. The cottage itself was clean and warm but desperately needs a paint brush throughout. The kitchen is especially tired. Additionally the kitchen and bathroom are very dark because the light fittings are very poor.
Peter John Alfred
Nice clean well equipped cottage garden well fenced our dog enjoyed our stay as much as we did milk and biscuits nice touch.
Sandra
Wonderful cosy cottage with a lovely big garden our dog absolutely loved, the location was great castles in every direction beautiful beaches lots of historical places to visit had a fantastic holiday would definitely come back.
Katharine
This is the 6th or 7th time we have stayed at Bilton Farm Cottages, we have entries in the visitors book since 2014 and our children have grown up with regular visits. The Alnmouth coast is beautiful at any time of year. It's a wellequipped cosy and warm house for an Autumn stay. Our dog loved the enclosed front garden. The beds appear to be new and comfortable, the TV has Netflix. The local dogfriendly pubs in Alnmouth have quiz nights and nice food. Alnwick, Bamburgh, Craster are all close by and worth a visit.
I was very happy with this week. Clean, quiet, unfussy, no musty smell. The steep and narrow stairs were no problem for this spritely old man, but could be a bit irksome for the less spritely, tho there are bannisters either side. I recommend the free Warkworth beach car park for a lovely evening stroll. The stroll from the door isn't bad either.Alnmouth Station is a few minutes walk and convenient for Newcastle, Berwick, even Edinburgh for day trips. Happy customer, thanks!
We loved our stay at Bilton cottage and would recommend it to others who are staying in the area, only thing that wasn't so good was badly stained mugs, we had to buy our own.
Thanks for another lovely stay. We returned having enjoyed this cottage several years ago and were equally delighted. We love the spaciousness and the garden, and we had everything we needed. We love the location and using our bikes to get around. Might the property owner consider leaving a patch of the big grassy garden wild and unmown to encourage biodiversity?
Jonathan
Great little cottage as a base for our weeks trip to Northumberland. Quiet area with views of the countryside. Plenty of inside space for a family. Availability of Netflix also a positive especially where the children were concerned. Only approx 10 minutes drive to the lovely Alnmouth and Longhoughton Beaches. 15 mins drive to Alnwick itself with its attractions such as Alnwick Castle, Gardens and Lilidorei worlds largest play structure and supermarkets. Albout 30 minutes from Seahouses for boat trips etc. Would certainly recommend for future stays to the area.
We have stayed a few times in the cottage and we love it. Its very comfortable and within walking distance of the beaches in Alnmouth. Would highly recommend and cant wait to return

Have booked for next year!
Enjoyed our stay. The garden was brilliant for the dogs and the bed was very comfortable. The stairs were very manageable for my husband who has MS. Ideal place for exploring the coast and some really good eating places Indian at Shilbottle and Cook & Barker at Newton on the moor. Would definitely return.
This was the perfect getaway for my husband and I and our two German shepherds. I don't think we've ever stayed in a holiday let with a bigger garden! Prior to visiting, we had seen some comments about a musty smell which when first entering the cottage, we noticed as well but I think that's just inherent to the older property. Once we opened some windows and then warmed up the house, the smell went away. A few more cushions for the sofas would have been nice. Otherwise we had everything we needed.
Rachael
Amazing week at the cottage. The location is just perfect and the cottage was clean and comfortable. The dogs highly recommended the large secure garden. We hope to visit again.
Richard
1 Bilton Cottage was great, my family and I really enjoyed our stay. I have 3 girls, aged 6, 4 and 18 months and there was plenty of space in the living room and garden for them to enjoy themselves. The cottage is perfectly located and is only a short drive to most places. My only constructive feedback would be the curtains in the bedrooms hang low so we hung towels and blankets over the top to block the morning sunlight and the TV signal was poor but the DVD player was apt for the amount of time we actually spent indoors. I may also suggest the option of having stairgates may help, we brought our own to stop our youngest from climbing the stairs as they are located in the living room. Overall I would rate this cottage highly and would recommend to others.
Stephen
Love being there, we have booked for next year.
The cottage was great and we had lovely neighbours. The 7 day stay was delightful and the surrounding area is gorgeous! The huge secure garden was brilliant for the greyhounds and they spent a lot of time in it. The cottage had everything we needed. Only issues we had was the steep stairs up to the bedrooms and TV reception on some nights. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and its peaceful location was welcomed. I loved watching the animals chickens, sheep, pigs and cows as well as the birds like swallows, rooks and pheasantswhat a picturesque spot. We walked down to Alnmouth in 25 minutes and it was short car drive to great towns and beaches like Bamburgh, Alnwick, Berwick upon Tweed, Newton by the Sea.
We enjoyed our stay at Bilton Farm cottage. We have been before and all was as we expected it. The garden is wonderful for the dog and we could let him wander about as he wanted which is a great bonus. The cottage is delightful and clean and welcoming.
Perfect cottage, dog friendly, great location with walks right from the door. Best holiday I&rsquove had for years and my dog agreed.
Good budget accommodation with an excellent garden and parking. ..
Spotlessly clean and warm cottage. Large, lawned garden ideal for sitting out. Comfy seating and beds. What more could you need?
The property was clean on arrival and more than adequate accommodation for our needs. Location was excellent and surroundings nice too. Overall it was a good find.
Good property well equipped and excellent location.
Lovely spacious accommodation. Well furnished, comfy beds, ideal location, nice big garden, outside seating. Near to rail station and bus service . Beach approximately one mile away .
Second time I have stayed here with Tilly my dog and we loved it! cottage was lovely and warm despite the freezing weather outside. Great shower and comfy bed. Location was ideal too.
It is great for touring the Northumberland coast as a very central location. The garden is ideal for sitting outside and safe for our dogs too. The inside of the cottage is quite large so is once again ideal with two dogs. There are also walks close to the cottage for the short last walks of the day.
This cottage provided us with a wonderful family break. It has a large garden which meant we could sit outside and eat, enjoying the countryside and the kids were able to play. It is close to so many super places worth visiting. Will definitely come again.....
