Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests find The Apartment to be clean and tidy, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition. A few guests mentioned having to clean some kitchen items, but these seem to be isolated incidents.
The location is highly praised for being well-placed for walking routes, nearby attractions, and local amenities like shops and pubs. The village setting is appreciated for its charm and convenience.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests find the apartment cosy and the bed comfortable, others mention issues with the sofa and noise. The overall comfort is deemed satisfactory by most.
Facilities are generally good, but some guests report discrepancies between the listing and actual amenities, such as missing DVD players and kitchen items. Maintenance issues like a loose stair handrail are also mentioned.
While some guests mention receiving a welcome gift, there are not enough references to consistently assess the level of thoughtfulness across all stays. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Excellent walking opportunities encircle the area, perfect for bringing the dog along and exercising your interests in nature with spectacular National Parks and Heritage Coast within easy reach.

The village of Longframlington sits at the heart of Northumberland, between the Cheviots and the coast, providing access to a range of walking opportunities. Brinkburn Priory is a short drive away - a restored Augustinian priory beside the River Coquet. Just 10 minutes’ drive to the west is the National Trust’s Cragside House and Gardens, whilst the Heritage Coast is just a 15-minute drive to the east, offering miles of beaches. Alnwick, with its Castle and Garden, lies just 11 miles to the north and is well worth a visit, with the National Park also within easy reach.

A well stocked village shop next door and a good pub with real ale over the road. Be careful with your head at night !

I think if someone was 6ft or had a large dog they would struggle but for us it was perfect. Great position in a friendly village. The local pub opposite couldn't have been friendlier, the village shop next door well stocked and l can recommend a visit to the bakery.

A lot of effort has gone into making it comfortable, clean and well equipped considering the space available, and it's a credit to the owner for the result. That said, not much space for muddy boots / outdoor cleanup, especially when considering it's dog friendly and that many guests will be walkers. For instance, cream / sand coloured carpet behind the front door / on the stairs was maybe an oversight, (with darker carpet in the bedroom?), and if you leave one pair of boots on the door mat you can't open the front door properly. It was a constant battle trying to keep the carpet clean. The siting of the bed has been mentioned in other reviews, and was a bit of an issue. Larger or taller folks may have a problem with that. I took for granted the location in a small rural village, at what turns out to be a very busy junction. I found the traffic noise marred my enjoyment of what is a lovely little apartment, with heavy vehicles passing late into the night and starting very early in a morning. These are niggles considering the cost, which to honest is very reasonable. Couple of good pubs with restaurants, couple of well stocked convenience shops and an excellent butcher, all within a minute or so walk. Great location as a springboard for day trips to all points of the compass.
