The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and proximity to the beach and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for guests. The consistent positive feedback on the location justifies a high score.
The property is generally considered comfortable, especially the downstairs area. However, some guests found the upstairs twin rooms cramped and lacking in storage, which slightly lowers the comfort score.

Jara is a fantastic property to stay at whilst enjoying the delights of Bamburgh, our favourite place in the UK. A really comfortable property with all the essentials you could ever think of. Fantastic garden with beautiful view of the Castle and only a couple of minutes walk to access the beach and the beautiful restaurants in the village…love Jara!

Fantastic spacious relaxing house in a fabulous location. Only downside is having no soap in the toilets to wash your hands when you arrive. I’ve never stayed anywhere before that doesn’t have any soap when you arrive.

I have sent a separate email to your Customer Services email address today, detailing over 20 points of disrepair and lack of cleaning for this property (with photographs included). Everything was functional so we did not require assistance. I sent an initial list to the owner via text message. It was incredibly disappointing and I hope the issues are rectified for future guests already booked in.
