Yvonne
We were amazed at how well appointed it was for the cost. The bed was large and comfortable with plenty of storage including that in the bathroom. A very generous welcome pack plus little extras was much appreciated. The Hideaway is well situated to visit the many places of interest and Belford itself is less than 5 minutes walk and provides all that is needed for a self catering break. We would definitely choose this accommodation when we next visit the area.

You certainly won't be disappointed booking this holiday home. Set in a lovely location had great views and fantastic beaches near by. The Hideaway was comfortable and spotless, a lovely welcome pack was provided by the owner (even one for the dogs). Will certainly book again when returning to the area.
