Excellent in all respects. A very well appointed cottage in excellent condition and very comfortable at a convenient location for exploring Northumberland. We had a great relaxing holiday there.
Karin
A very comfortable well stocked house set in a very convenient location. Ideal for a large group/family.
Clive
Excellent location, clean throughout, superbly equipped and central to all beaches, pubs / restaurants and golf clubs on which some of the party played. Couldnâ??t have been happier with our stay and will definitely be booking again.
Audrey
Excellent, clean, very well equipped. We had a fabulous family weekend. Grandkids loved the games room, especially the piano and dressing up box. We may need to book piano lessons!!. Everyone would like to return sometime in the future. Thank you.
Dominica
Great size, but cot needed to be bigger. Correct contact numbers are essential. Location not so great as you couldnâ??t walk anywhere.
Jenny
Moo House is an excellent property, easily accommodating 6 adults and 4 children. It was beautifully decorated and furnished, with an impressive range of kitchen equipment which made cooking family meals a pleasure. The children loved all the play facilities in the garden and particularly the Cow Shed; it was ideal for our Easter egg hunt. Moo House is ideal for travelling to Craster, Low Newton, Beadnell and Alnwick and was one of the best cottages we have stayed in.
Robin
Very comfortable and extremely well equipped property. Perfect for families with super play area and kids room
Caitlin
Moo House was fantastic. We had 6 adults and 5 kids in our party and the house did not feel cramped or too small. There were enough bathrooms for everyone and the kitchen dining room was excellent, with space for everyone to be seated. We loved it so much we want to make it an annual booking!
Rachel
Moo House is a fantastic property for a big family group. It's got plenty of space when it comes to both comfy seating and dining. The bedrooms are all lovely and the kitchen is very well equipped. Would definitely recommend.
Ghazala
Our family party of 8 absolutely loved this cottage. It has spacious areas where everyone can be together comfortably and also spaces to retreat to if you fancy a bit of time alone. The games room/building was an added bonus. We did a big grocery shop which lasted the whole week - the two fridges and freezer came in very handy. A great location if you want peace but also want to be near to Seahouses and Beadnell. We had some really nice food out, especially at the Black Swan Inn. All of us said we would love to return and stay here again.
Allan
A very special place that is a delight to stay in. Our large family always look forward to being together at Moo House.
Marc
The Moo House and it's facilities were top notch, including the garden and games room which was a real added bonus for the Grandchildren. Even though it is a large property it felt cosy and relaxing, my family and I had a lovely weekend and wished we could have stayed longer.
Lindsay
We had a great time despite quite a lot of poor weather (are you responsible for that?!). A very few minor niggles were irritating but did not detract from our stay..
