Outside, dine alfresco with the picturesque surrounding cottages at the table and chairs making the most of the sunshine.

Goldfinch Reviews

Caroline
Lovely property, warm and cosy in an excellent location for a base to explore Northumberland. Very handy for the many beautiful beaches in the area but also getawayfromitall rural areas such as Rothbury and the Cheviots. Goldfinch had a lovely aspect overlooking the church, plenty of parking with the very welcoming Apple Inn literally on our doorstep.
Left at cottage.
Lovely cottage very clean and good location. Good pub in the village. It would have been better to know prior to arriving there is an extra cost for the hot tub!
Hibbert
We stayed many years ago when the properties were called Percy and Claxton owned by the Duke of Northumberland Estate, it was lovely then as it is now. Very comfortable and spacious, ideal when you have dogs downstairs to clean away paw prints. Maintenance came straight away to fix a broken loo seat found on arrival. They hadn't however got the message about ordering a highchair and cot, but they were brought over immediately. The welcome pack was great, local produce. We had Sunday lunch at the Apple Inn, it was poor quality for the price, which was a shame, actually the same price as Whittling House in Alnmouth which is fantastic. The spa was lovely, especially the full body massage.
Could not fault the cottage or the position.
Generally a good holiday letting in a very good setting. Good to have a pub and cafe in the village too. Some of the furnishing and particularly kitchen equipment was a little tired and stale and needs updating
Lovely, spacious, well presented accommodation in a great location. The Log burner and hot tub were great additions. An enjoyable stay
Lovely property, homely feel and well equipped with everything you need for a family with small dog. Hot tub was a great addition and well worth paying the extra for. The Beau Monde is a lovely facility to relax and unwind.
Great location for a lovely spacious property in a pretty village with a very handy dogfriendly pub with a great gin menu!
Beautiful property in a very quiet village. Home from home, everything you need and would want to come home to after a day exploring this beautiful region. All rooms extremely comfortable with lovely furnishings, bedding and towels. Thank you xx

Alnwick Castle and Gardens - NE66 1NQ
about 10 Miles
Alnwick Castle and Gardens today are perhaps best known for their roles as Hogwarts in Harry Potter movies but have for many years been a family favourite attraction in Northumberland. The beautiful medieval castle is open to the public and during school holidays and at Christmas and Halloween a range of activities can be enjoyed including Santa's Workshop, a Pumpkin Parade, Spell Making Lessons and Owl and Bird of Prey Flying.
Cragside House and Gardens - NE65 7PX
about 17 Miles
Cragside House and Gardens (National Trust) are a popular Northumberland attraction with a beautiful stately home and gorgeous grounds to explore. The rhododendron labyrinth is a unique and fun addition to the grounds and there is also an adventure playground where children can let of steam. It is the stunning scenery that attracts most of the visitors though with many bringing a picnic for a relaxing family day out. The house itself hosts exhibits which change regularly. World of the Water Wizard is currently on display.
Conundrum Farm - EX5 3AQ
about 19 Miles
With easy access from the A1 this lovely farm just north of Berwick makes a fantastic family day out.  Follow the farm trail and meet an array of friendly farm animals.  Kids will also enjoy the indoor and outdoor play areas, pet barn and tractor circuit.  The admission fee is excellent value and you will get a free bag of food for the animals and a bag of fish food for the trouts in the fish pond. When you want a bite to eat, the licensed restaurant is the place to go with quality home cooking and a charming location in some of the converted farm buildings.
