Keepers Cottage

A lovely place and very spacious, there were 6 of us and our cavapoo Florence and found it lovely. Not far to drive to the areas of interest and the little pub up the road was great. No shop though but that didn't bother us, took lots of supplies and the welcome hamper much appreciated!

Keepers Cottage was very well appointed all the equipment that you need for a home from home. It was clean and tidy, i was quite surprised to read comments from a previous holiday maker who said the property needed a radio as the T.V both in the lounge and kitchen have all the radio channels on them. The telephone reception was very good for your mobiles. The hall with the weddings behind the property was no problem yes there was music now and again but nothing that would distract anyone from enjoying the amenities after all who would not enjoy a bit of music in their life !! The peacock which came to the property everyday was a joy to watch. Lynn and John February 2025

Great spacious property in great location. Close to coast and local attractions. Definitely a cut above most properties we have stayed in. Would recommend.

Keepers Cottage is a well equipped and really comfortable place to stay. We found the location of the cottage to be excellent and we could easily travel to beautiful locations by car. The cost of hiring the cottage was quite expensive but the furnishings and equipment were so good and the cottage was so comfortable and spacious. It was perfect for our number of people and we all had our own space.

This was our first visit to Northumberland and this turned out to be a good location for many of the things we wanted to do along the coast and inland. The cottage was extremely spacious and well equipped and the beds very comfortable. It was perhaps a little less peaceful than we had envisaged when booking (although we were told about the nearly Wedding venue a few weeks before our holiday). There were three Weddings during our week and some music noise late into the evening but overall not too much of a problem and I would consider booking it again.

Beautiful house in the lovely village of Ellingham. Very spacious and very well equipped for a great family holiday including our little dog Ted who loved the large garden.

More than exceeded expectations.

Keepers Cottage was simply perfect. Our second time booking with Classic Cottages who will now be our go to for all UK holidays. Firstly the location is fantastic, everything we wanted to see in Northumberland was on the doorstep. Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick, Holy Island and the glorious Farne Islands to which we took a boat trip and marvelled at all the grey seals. The cottage itself is immaculate and so spacious and well laid out that as a family of 5 (including Grandma) we weren’t on top of eachother and could retreat to our ‘wing’ if some me time was needed. Everything you could want to make this a real home from home has been provided. The kitchen is better equipped than my own and having a seperate utility was great for washing the kids dirty clothes. We all slept like logs and enjoyed watching the peacocks patrol the grounds. There is also a gem of a pub literally a 5 minute walk away - The Packhorse with its cosy log burner and delicious food was a real treat on a cold February evening. Needless to say we didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return!

A fantastic property with a great location for exploring the Northumberland coastline and a great local pub within walking distance. Some minor issues on arrival were reported to Classic Cottages and were quickly sorted. A return visit to Keepers Cottage is definitely planned.

We enjoyed a wonderful, peaceful holiday in this charming house. The kitchen was spacious and enabled me to cook delicious meals every evening. Shopping has to thought about, butcher and fresh fish. Book a supermarket delivery for your arrival day.

We really enjoyed our stay at Keepers cottage. The property is very large and spacious and in a great location. All the places we wanted to visit (Bamburgh, Alnmouth, Lindisfarne, Alnwick) are no more than a 30 minute drive from the property. The only downside is the proximity to the wedding venue, we found the music from this to be very noisy on two nights and disruptive to our sleep. Not ideal when you have a toddler. When we booked we were aware that it was close to a wedding venue but did not know it was immediately behind it and therefore did not anticipate the level of noise.

We have stayed in many self catering places but we both agreed that this is probably the best we've ever had. There's plenty of space indoors and out, and the decor is lovely. Comfortable beds and a very well equipped kitchen were welcome. It's only about 5 miles from Beadnell - a delightful beach - but there are plenty of other fabulous beaches within a short drive as well as plenty of castles and gardens. Alternatively, it's a great place just to sit and enjoy the garden or the local countryside. Having a pub within walking distance that served excellent food was a bonus! And it's dog friendly! Perfect.

We stayed in the cottage for one week in June. We found it to be very spacious, well equipped and reasonably comfortable. It has plenty of parking space at the front and is located within easy walking distance to an excellent pub called the Pack Horse Inn which offers extremely good food and quality beers. One thing to be aware of is the presence of free roaming peacocks around the property which although beautiful to look at they do tend to be quite vocal especially early morning.

Beautiful cottage in good location. Lovely beaches and scenery wherever we went. Enjoyed our stay and would return.

The accommodation is excellent. The rooms are large and light and there is plenty of room inside for families to meet together or have time alone. The surroundings are superb with great walks locally or a short drive away. The peacocks add a further dimension to excellent surroundings. We had a great holiday.

Excellent geographical location with a lot of things to do close by. The property was very clean with an excellent welcome pack. Be aware that the property is close to a wedding venue.

Enjoyed our stay at Keepers Cottage, lovely location, very comfortable and spacious. Very well equipped, everything you need for a self catering holiday. Would definitely recommend and would love to return.

The cottage is well presented and in a lovely rural location. However, activities at the adjacent wedding venue including deliveries and maintenance work can be intrusive.
