Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as immaculate and very well maintained. One review noted cobwebs, but this seems an isolated comment amidst overall high standards.
The location is celebrated for its peace and quiet, with easy access to local attractions. Some guests mention the rural roads, but the tranquillity and proximity to Northumberland's offerings are seen as major pluses.
Numerous reviews highlight the comfort of the cottage, particularly the bed and the log burner. The spaciousness and cosiness of the property contribute to a relaxing stay.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped. Some minor maintenance issues are mentioned, such as attention to the grounds and difficulty finding instructions for electrical goods.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident through mentions of welcome packs and dog treats. While these are appreciated, it is noted that such gestures are subject to change and not guaranteed for every stay.

The charming sitting room has a large window with views to the front and an l-shaped sofa; a wonderful spot to relax and put your feet up in front of the TV and woodburning stove, with starter pack kindly provided by the owners. Despite its rural location, Kizzie Cottage offers full-fibre internet for multiple devices so browsing and home working couldn’t be easier!

The French-style king-size bedroom is a peaceful haven to retire to at the end of the day and the bathroom provides a bath for those who like to soak tired limbs. Just a short drive will take you to The Northumberland Arms in Felton, a well-established local pub serving fine food and top-quality ales, or why not try afternoon tea at The Running Fox serving gorgeous cream teas and cakes? Kizzie's Cottage is within easy reach of the A1 which will take you to all the delights that Northumberland has to offer, including Alnwick with its renowned castle and gardens, Brinkburn Priory with its peaceful riverside setting and the National Trust's Cragside House. Why not spend the day in Amble, where the delights of Amble Harbour Village, the opportunity to embark on Puffin Cruises and the Amble North Pier await?

Discover the beauty of the Heritage Coast boasting endless beaches, and the rolling Cheviot Hills, all a scenic drive away, making Kizzie Cottage an ideal base for a break in Northumberland.
Warkworth, located on the Heritage Coast, is a lovely village highlighted by the stunning ruins of its 12th century castle. The Percy Family, who took over the castle in 1332, is entwined with the history of the community and the castle. The second house of the Percys is adjacent Alnwick Castle, which was lately connected with Harry Potter as the film site of Hogwarts School. Warkworth also boasts its own sandy beach as well as a 9-hole pay-and-play golf course.

The location is perfect if you like to be away from it all for total relaxation. Rural setting but only a short drive to Warkworth and Amble and from there the whole of the coastal route. The property has a huge enclosed garden area for dogs. We were also met with a much appreciated bottle of wine and we were kept well informed by Ali of key information, etc. Three nights is not long enough though!

Ali was a brilliant host too! Thank you. Very quiet area with gated gardens, perfect for the dog.
