Belford is an ancient village, having been in existence since before medieval times. The centre of the village is the market square with its cross dating back around 300 years. Today it is a quiet village which gives visitors easy access to the Northumberland Coast, the Cheviot Hills and the Scottish Borders. Belford itself has a variety of smaller interesting shops as well as the usual shops and facilities available in a large village. During the month of August, a continental market takes place in the centre of the village and gives it a real carnival atmosphere. Overlooked by the magnificent 18th century Belford Hall and only a few minutes walk from the centre of the village is Belford Golf Club, a 9-hole golf course which features a driving range, motorised cart hire and excellent bar facilities.
Reviews
"Stable cottage is very well situated for touring the Northumberland coast. It is in Belford which is an interesting village. The layout is very good, and the beds and bathroom were good. It is clean, quiet at night and the wildlife and farm animals etc were interesting. I do feel though that it needs some TLC. The DVD was used during bad weather, and proved to be difficult to use even with following the instructions as it didn't work the way it should have done. We are used to DVD players which made this one frustrating to operate. We didn't like the mix of drinking mugs. Some of the crockery is chipped and needs throwing away. Likewise with some cooking items. The toilet seat needs replacing with a white one. These points are small and easily fixed to make the cottage great again. Overall, the cottage was slightly disappointing, but it is well located and we enjoyed our holiday."
"Well equipped comfortable cottage with a nice sunny patio. Easy access for all of Northumberland and the borders. Owners kindly and quickly forwarded some items we carelessly left behind."
"Very well prepared cottage, lovely character. Nice garden. Very good location for Northumberland coast without the expense of staying closer to Bamburgh (still only a 10 min drive from the beaches though). A shame that there is not more in Belford itself, although the pubs and hotels are Reasonable - just a little lacking in character I suppose."
"Great base for exploring Northumbria. Cottage is really cosy, spotlessly clean and very well equipped."
"The accommodation was excellent with easy access to the a1 helping with the traveling, either going north or south. A ten minutes ride to Bamburgh, where there are numerous eating places."
"Absolutely loved this cottage ,it was very well presented and extrememly cosy.I love an open fire especially in the winter coming in from a windy day on the beach or a walk out in the hills.Great location with lots of good pubs in easy striking distance if you don't want to cook."
"A well kept, welcoming cottage that provided everything we required for a comfortable stay. The beautiful garden was perfect for a family, with plenty of room for children to play safely. We would definitely recommend this one."
"We had difficulty in the past finding a comfortable cottage for two, so decided to look at properties for four, and we were not disappointed. Stable cottage was delightful, well equipped, and superbly located for both the Northumberland coast and countryside. We have already recommended this property to our children, all now married with young families, and would have no hesitation in sending them there. The property was very convenient, with parking at the door, and a lovely garden, safe for even the youngest children. The owners have children themselves, and clearly know what makes your stay comfortable and extra special."
