Little Tern Reviews

We had a brilliant week at Little tern. It's a beautiful place to stay. Everything was finished to a high spec and it's in a great location. Loved it. Thanks.
The cottage is immaculately presented and very comfortable. It is well equipped and the free use of the EV charger was very useful. The courtyard garden is lovely, and enclosed for dogs. We enjoyed our weeks stay very much. We had day trips to Holy Island and to National Trust Cragside, which is very interesting and in stunning grounds. We walked from the cottage along the beautiful beaches, to Bamburgh one way and to Beadnell the other, both lovely villages. Its easy to get a train to Edinburgh from Berwick Upon Tweed too.

Lovely property, beautifully decorated and furnished. Very comfortable and relaxing. Good location for sightseeing, very close to Bamburgh Castle and surrounding area.
Linette
Comfortable clean accommodation which is well equipped. Nice touch leaving milk and biscuits for guests on arrival. Reviews states it is a 10 minute walk to town however being of a certain age it was more like 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this property for your holiday break.
Little Tern is a lovely cottage to stay very comfortable with everything you need. Clean and nicely decorated. Lovely patio garden with outside furniture 10 minute walk into Seahouses and easy access to other places of interest including Bamburgh We really enjoyed our week and would book again
We really enjoyed our week at Little Tern cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more very well equipped kitchen. Seahouses is a great base for a Northumbria coastal holiday, with great beaches, pubs, eateries and ice cream! Especially recommend the Olde Ship, the White Swan at Warrenford, the Potted Lobster at Bamburgh and the Courtyard Cafe at Beadnell. We have already booked our next holiday in the area!
Excellent property, with all you need for a comfortable stress free holiday. Handy for all amenities and an easy walk to Seahouses. Would book again

Absolutely perfect cottage in a beautiful area. Lots to see and do locally and slightly further afield. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and it was very clean and well maintained. I loved coming home to this warm, cozy cottage after a day exploring Northumberland.

Very comfortable property. Every thing you want for a good weeks holiday.
Perfect accommodation in every way. Well equipped kitchen, short of nothing. The garden was nice and private with lovely outdoor furniture, this was perfect for our little dog. Spotlessly clean throughout with very comfortable beds. Will definitely stay here again.
Little Tern was an excellent base for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. The property was very well equipped and spacious, ideal for a couple with a dog. The garden enabled us to relax outside in privacy.
Lovely cottage which had everything we wanted. The place was just as described. Clean and very well equipped and quiet. Will be coming back again.
Elisha
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and spacious the place was. It truly felt like a home away from home, equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The garden was in full bloom, perfect for relaxation. The location was ideal, providing easy access to local attractions.We loved exploring the area. Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to return for another visit!
Jacqueline
One of the best holiday cottages Ive stayed in. Spacious, warm, cosy and comfortable, furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Secluded, and quiet with adjacent parking for two cars but within walking distance of bustling Seahouses and its harbour. A perfect location for exploring the Northumberland coast, castles and islands.
Judith
A relaxing week spent in this beautiful cottage. The facilities were excellent, everything needed was there and the site quiet and beautifully cared for. We would whole heartedly recommend this cottage for a visit to this magnificent area of the Northumberland coast.
Nicola
We had a fantastic stay at Little Tern. It was booked as a final trip with our dog and son as we had just found out the dog had aggressive terminal cancer. Her favourite place in the world was Bamburgh beach. Sadly she passed away just a few days before our trip. Our son also decided not to come as he had just moved out. Just the two of us, it was the perfect antidote to everything that was going on around us. It was so relaxing. A wonderful garden with great outside furniture, the beach a short drive away and very peaceful surroundings. It was a real wrench to leave! I would love to know what type of mattress is in the front bedroom nearest the living room as it was SO comfy! I did ask my husband to check but he forgot. I don't sleep very well usually by the bed was heaven!. Would to love to come back and stay here again sometime as we are usually in that area at least once a year.
Cottage was beautiful clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Angela
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Tern. The cottage and the surrounding dwellings are built from local stone which is very attractive. The cottage itself is full of character and decorated tastefully. It is spacious and contains everything one needs. The little courtyard garden is a very pleasant place to sit in and enjoy an evening drink. One is able to walk from the cottage into the town.
A really lovely place to stay
Stuart
Little tern is a perfect holiday cottage in a great location . It is very spacious and has everything and more for a very comfortable stay. Wouldnt change a thing. Will recommend.
Sherry
Lovely property, all very clean and fully equipped. We had a lovely stay.
Michael
Only one word fits the experience, beautiful. Beautifully appointed, beautifully fitted out, beautifully clean and really relaxing. Thank you. If I was to have any complaint it would be nit picking, but we couldn't find any egg cups?Once again thank you for a wonderful week.
Little Tern Cottage is a little gem tucked away on a quiet cul de sac on the outskirts of Seahouses. It has everything you could wish for, is very well equipped and l can recommend it without hesitation. I can't wait to go back!
Nicola
Cottage was truly amazing and we could not fault it. It had everything we needed and more. It was clean and immaculate. The cottage was in a quiet cul de sac but within easy walking distance of the shops, restaurants and pubs in Seahouses. The location was ideal for exploring the Northumbria coast and countryside.
Beautiful and well maintained cottage in a lovely courtyard with similar properties. Everything you need is in the cottage, comfy bed, heating, fully equipped kitchen including washerdryer and dishwasher and your own garden with patio furniture. Very clean and nicely decorated. Would highly recommend.
