Grey Goose cottage has been wonderful. Has everything you need. Thank you for the welcome gifts, it is a lovely touch.

We have been lucky with the weather and managed to get to lots of beaches including 'Sugar Sands' from Howick. Great coffee at Wyndenwell and the butcher and deli are excellent.

Thank you Sue and Nigel and we hope to come back next year.

Wonderful house, everything we had hoped for and more. Wonderful location for exploring, eating and drinking.

Ate in the Lord Crewe, very 'posh' but comfortable surroundings. Our recommendation is the restaurant in The Victoria hotel -amazing friendly staff!!! Worth a visit. We will be returning.

What a lovely place to stay in the loveliest part of the country!

We love Bamburgh and have been many times before, but this was our first time as a family of four and the first time staying at The Grey Goose.

The cottage has been a wonderful, comfortable base for us. Lovely finishing touches. Great recommendations for food and boat trips. We would love to return in the not too distant future.

Once again the 'Goose' has been our sanctuary for the last 10 days. we have lost count of the number of visits we have 'clocked up' but it always proves to be as comfortable and homely as our first visit - we love it!

Can't go without saying a HUGE thank you to Sue and Nigel (the best hosts you could ever wish for). We love you both too. Thank you soooo much!!

What a wonderful two weeks we have had in this beautiful part of the country. We have never been this way before but will most definitely be back.

Beautiful beaches, walks and golf courses were enjoyed by us all. The cottage........outstanding is the word, beautifully presented and our hosts, Sue and Nigel could not have been more welcoming and helpful (fantastic welcome hamper)!! Great cakes and coffee at The Copper Kettle, lovely bacon rolls at the butchers and the lunch at The Potted Lobster was superb. Thank you for a fab holiday.

Dom and Sophie said......... 28th July 2021

Dear Nigel and Sue, quite simply the most wonderful place and superb weather as well.

The first nightwas spent at The Potted Lobster where the seafood platter is a must. Our tummies were very full afterwards! Day two was spent on Holy Island and the beach at Bamburgh followed by dinner at Neptunes in Seahouses. A wonderful stay all round. Thank you so much.

We had another wonderful stay at The Grey Goose. As always, the property was spotlessly clean and comfortable with all equipment provided and a wonderful hamper full of treats

We had a lovely week, enjoying some beautiful warm and sunny weather. We enjoyed a couple of yummy meals at The Potted Lobster. Also recommend Elan in Seahouses for takeaway pizza. Hope to be back to stay again soon.

Michelle and Geoff said.......5th July 2021

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at The Grey Goose. It has been amazing.

We're so impressed with all the facilities the property has to offer, you've thought of everything. We did some fantastic walks and the property was a fantastic setting to watch England progress into the semi finals of the Euros! Lunch at The Jolly Fisherman at Craster was delicious as was luch at The Potted Lobster too.

Thanks again

Jan and Keith said.....2nd July 2021 (Repeaters)

So glad we came back to The Grey Goose. Another fabulous holiday.

Thank you for providing such a welcoming and spotlessly clean environment. The welcome pack was amazing; thank you for the thoughtful little touches.

It was great to see you both again. We hope to be back in the not too distant future.

Brenda and Mike said....18th June 2021 (Repeaters)

Another super holiday at The Grey Goose and once again we had a dry week with good sunny spells.

Thanks to Sue and Nigel for their ever present smiling welcome and the more than generous provisions. It was also a benefit to stay here and feel safe in these Covid times.

On this trip we visited Beadnell, Craster/Dunstanburgh and Holy Island. The Kipper Bin at the van on Craster car park is always a hit with me, after a delightful walk up to Dunstanburgh and the cliffs with nesting Kittiwakes, Guillimots and Razorbills plus a few Rock Doves. The local pubs are trying to keep visitors safe with sensible spacing of tables - decent pub fayre at the Castle Inn and slightly better table service at the Lord Crewe. Our stand out meal was at St. Aiden's in Seahouses which we booked well before we arrived - only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday and almost always fully booked.

Thanks again

Brenda and Mike (Garstang, Lancashire)

Another very enjoyable visit to this very well equipped and maintained cottage.

Extremely lucky with the weather and most of the storms by-passed us. Will hopefully return again later this year.

An immaculately presented, clean and cosy cottage one of which you should be proud of and in a great location.

10 out of 10 in all sectors. some good local beer and great seafood a bonus. Thanks for organising some decent weather. So much more to be seen in the area so we will be back.

Thanks for a lovely week.

Jill and Dermot said...... 2nd November 2019

Great house, spotlessly clean and just a stone’s throw from Bamburgh High Street.

Everything you need for a really comfortable stay is provided. Owners are lovely and very helpful with lots of information. Lots to do locally and Bamburgh beach is fabulous! Would definitely recommend.

Jill, Dermot and family (Oxfordshire)

Andrew and Leigh said.........16th August 2019

Thanks very much for the warm welcome.

The Grey Goose has been a great base to explore Northumberland.

We have had trips to Embleton Beach, Alnmouth Village, Belford, Beadnell and Seahouses. The kids have loved every minute of their stay in Bamburgh and want to return next year. The meals out were great, The Bistro at Seahouses golf club will take some beating. The golf courses have been fantastic and a big shout out to Julie at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club who was very informative about the local area. What a place!!

John and Hannah said.............5th July 2019 (Repeaters)

We have had a wonderful week again here in Grey Goose cottage. Immaculately clean and all the amenities described. We have been totally at home.

We have been really lucky with the weather so the kids have spent the majority of the time on the beaches round here and even braving the North Sea. We can't recommend the Grey Goose and the village of Bamburgh highly enough! Good luck in your garden competition and hopefully see you again soon.

John, Hannah, Hazel and Jack (Edinburgh)

Pauline and Brian said.........28th June 2019 (Repeaters)

Unfortunately our bags are packed and we're ready to go (yes it does sound like a song). We have had another lovely week staying at The Grey Goose - this has been our third visit and it is definitely like a second home.

Lots of lovely walks and too much lovely food (the diet kicks in on Monday).

We are sad to be leaving The Grey Goose and our lovely hosts but we are looking forward to our next visit in September.

Thank you so much Sue and Nigel, it's been (as always) just great.

Pauline and Brian (Cumbria)

Moira and Mark said.........7th June 2019

We have had a wonderful week in this superb house.

Excellent food in the Potted Lobster and Mizen Head. Great coffee to be enjoyed on the beach from 'The Hut'. We really enjoyed 'Carnaby's' on Sue’s recommendation. Weather has been good so we've walked our socks off.

Thank you for all the free extras. We have been really comfortable in The Grey Goose and hope to be back.

Chris and Alan said....….24th May 2019

We have had a very enjoyable week in an excellent cottage. We've appreciated all the modern and first class amenities and cleanliness of The Grey Goose.

It was good to meet Sue and Nigel and thank you for the 'treats'. We've walked in the hills, along the coastal path (and seen dolphins); sailed round the Farne Islands and marvelled at the birds and seals, visited Lindisfarne and Dunstanburgh Castles. The weather's been dry with lots of sun. Northumberland at its best! Thank you

The Grey Goose is a high quality holiday let and has played a large part in the enjoyment of our holiday.

Beach walks to the north and to the south interspersed with some sitting to enjoy the views and the wildlife. Yes! Despite leaving the binoculars at home we managed some bird watching and on our final day, from near the lighthouse we witnessed an appearance of dolphins - or were they Orcas? We're not sure. Thanks for the hospitality and the wine. Thanks to the friendly people and services of Bamburgh we've had a great holiday and one we hope to repeat sometime soon.

Brian and Pauline said....….28th September 2018 (Repeaters)

We have recently returned from one of our best ever holidays. The property is very comfortable, clean and so well located in the village in a peaceful but central area.

Nigel and Sue are the best hosts we have ever had (and we have had numerous holidays of this type) they could not have been more welcoming and friendly. In all we wish we could go back next week but unfortunately have to wait a little longer.The whole area of the Northumberland coastline is amazingly beautiful and given good weather (which we had) there is no better place to relax and enjoy the beaches, countryside and the lovely people. Also great area if you like fish. Thank you Nigel and Sue you certainly made our holiday special. Looking forward to our next stay.

Frances and Darren said....….24th August 2018 (Repeaters)

Lovely week in Bamburgh and surrounding areas despite a bit of rainy weather! We loved staying at The Grey Goose; great location, quiet street, brilliant facilities and lovely owners.

Thank you for a relaxing break in this comfortable home. We'd love to come back again next year... The flowers, Prosecco and coffee were a lovely special touch.

Frances, Darren and Thomas (Ponteland)

I had a great holiday. I loved the cosy sofa.

Imogen and Chris said.........17th August 2018

What a superb hidden gem! We've been regular visitors to the Seahouses / Bamburgh area for several years now but The Grey Goose is by far the best accommodation that we have stayed in.

Nigel and Sue couldn't have been more welcoming and we were greeted with fresh cut flowers, a bottle of Prosecco and a perfect home from home.

Our boys enjoyed a week spent on various beaches collecting shells, playing in the sea and eating lots of ice cream! Highlights have included a trip to Alnwick Castle, a boat ride around the Farne Islands and crab sandwiches at the Ship Inn at Low Newton.

Thank you for opening your beautiful home for us to enjoy. We will definitely be back.

We have had a wonderful week staying in this fabulous holiday house. It has been a perfect home from home for us. The house is very comfortable, very well equipped with everything we could need and spotlessly clean.

Thank you for the gifts on arrival. What a lovely welcome!

The layout of the property is perfect for a family stay. We hope to revisit very soon and we would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Bamburgh. Thank you

We can only echo all the positive things said about 'The Grey Goose' and thank you both for the peaceful, comfortable week we have spent in Northumberland.

This is probably our fifth visit to this county and it never ceases to delight us.

Best Wishes

Darren and Dawn said....….28th May 2018

We have had a fantastic weekend in this wonderful property. The house is of a very high standard and very much to our taste.

The weather has been great giving us the opportunity to sit out and enjoy the beautiful garden as well as the surrounding area. If the sun is out Alnwick Garden is a great place to explore for children and adults alike. All the beaches in Northumberland are beautiful and worth a visit.

We would like to thank Nigel and Sue for the warm welcome and lovely home. We would definitely come back and recommend to others.

Darren and Dawn (Wakefield)

Lorraine and Tony said....….15th May 2018

After a warm and informative welcome from Nigel we settled in to the extremely well appointed home from home.

Our first day, when we did a long walk along the magical beach below the castle followed by a trip to the Farne Islands on 'Serenity', all in brilliant sunshine, was perfection. We also visited Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle and Low Newton, again all in brilliant sunshine.

We have all thoroughly enjoyed a superb break and hope to return.

Thank you

Rita and Paul said........11th May 2018

We have had a brilliant stay in your lovely cottage, definitely home from home. Everything we needed was here and the beds are really comfortable so a good night’s sleep.

The weather has been perfect, much better than expected.

Bamburgh is a gorgeous place and The Grey Goose is perfectly situated. The Castle Inn (The Middle) has been worth visiting. Lovely meals, large portions and friendly staff. It was lovely to meet you both when we arrived. Thank you and hope to come back.

Paul, Rita and Ian (South Yorkshire)
