Summary
The accommodation's location and character received praise, but many guests reported issues including construction noise, cleanliness concerns, lack of essential supplies, and the need for refurbishment. Some enjoyed the layout and outdoor space, while others found the property overpriced and not meeting expectations.
The property
Formerly two separate cottages, Whistlewood in the heart of Bamburgh in Northumberland, offers spacious and immaculately presented accommodation, which is ideal for a family holiday. Inside, the property offers a really welcoming space with the sitting room particularly inviting. Here, you will find extensive seating arranged around a gorgeous woodburning stove set within a stunning inglenook fireplace which creates a beautiful focal point to the room and helps to take the chill off in the cooler months. The designated chef will be delighted with the large kitchen/diner which is fully fitted in a rustic style and comes complete with an Aga and Belfast sink. The carefully planned kitchen benefits from a stylish breakfast island adjoining an elegant dining area which has a dining table and chairs next to the feature windows, offering captivating views over the gardens. When it’s time for bed, make your way to one of two beautifully presented bedrooms, a double (which comes with its own TV!) with en-suite facilities, another double and a twin. Both are light and airy and offer a relaxing sanctuary of calm. The outside of the property is especially appealing with an extensive flagged terrace area, a small lawn, benches, a decking area with a table and chairs and even a covered barbecue area. This is the ideal space for spending time alfresco where children and pets can run around safely while the adults can chill out and get into the holiday vibe. Whistlewood is in the perfect location for exploring the delights of Northumberland with the appealing town of Bamburgh literally on the doorstep. As well as its famous castle, the town also has a great selection of shops, hotels, pubs and restaurants and a golf course. The Heritage Coastline boasts a stunning array of fishing villages and sandy beaches which are a must-visit. Head out for a scenic drive along the coast and see where you end up! Other places worth visiting include Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Berwick-upon-Tweed, RNLI Grace Darling Musuem, Farne Islands and Dunstanburgh Castle. If you want to get close to nature, you’ve come to the right place with Annstead Dunes Nature Reserve, Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre and Cresswell Wildlife Trust, all within a short distance. Whistlewood is the perfect setting for a family holiday to remember for a long time.
