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.

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.

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

Val and Malcolm said....….8th June 2018

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.

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.

Hi Nigel and Sue
We absolutely adored your cottage. We’re very regular visitors to Bamburgh and our stay here was wonderful. 

Your decor was outstanding and we were so cosy sitting on your very comfy couch! And as for the main bedroom, we have never had such a comfortable sleep...ever!! Perfectly situated, with a great outlook, we felt so at home here.
It was so lovely meeting you both and you made us feel very welcome. The welcome basket was a delightful bonus, so thank you so much. Cannot recommend this highly enough. It was a lovely surprise and thanks again for a wonderful, welcoming weekend.

Many thanks.

Amazing place!! Absolutely love the house. Felt like home! Every little detail has been thought of. 

Thank you for the welcome wine and chocs. (although the kids pinched the chocs.)!! Bamburgh and the surrounding areas are beautiful. Cannot believe we have this in England and I didn't know!!

Thanks again.

Janet and Gavin said.........11th August 2017

Thank you for a super week staying in your fantastic holiday cottage. We have holidayed in Bamburgh several times before but The Grey Goose is definitely the cleanest, most comfortable and well equipped property we have stayed in. You seem to have thought of everything. Thank you.

The weather has been much better than we anticipated so have spent most of our week on the beach. (Some great waves yesterday for bodyboarding)!! – with of course plenty of trips to Wyndenwell for ice cream and coffee. We’d thoroughly recommend the Ferrero Roche Ice Cream – though of course it’s important to try several flavours while you are visiting.

Other recommendations:

Alnwick Garden
Alnwick Castle
Walk from Dunstanburgh to Craster

Thank you again

Sue and Adrian said......... 4th August 2017

What a lovely house. There is everything we could possibly want (and a bit more). Thank you for the addition of the hairdryer too.

Our first time staying in Bamburgh and it has been gorgeous. Changeable weather but who cares when you have got boots and waterproofs? Lots to see and do each day! A fantastic coastline and beaches, but the best has to be Holy Island. We really loved the walk through the dunes. We counted 28 different wild flowers as we walked and we’ll look forward to a return visit to see the restored castle when the scaffolding is peeled away.

Thanks again

Sue, Adrian, Archie and Eleanor (Nottingham)

Clare and Gerard said...........21st July 2017

Thank you for letting us stay in your comfy and beautiful house – attention to detail superb. 

We really enjoyed our first visit to Northumberland. Excellent weather this week so good for exploring.

We stayed mainly on the beautiful coast, walking to Seahouses and back where we got sunburned!! And Craster, Dunstanburgh, Low Newton, Embleton and bus back to Craster. Howick Gardens were also beautiful. Best ice cream award goes to Doddington Dairies and the shop opposite the NT shop in Seahouses is generous.

Look forward to a return visit.

Thank you for a wonderful week! Your house is absolutely amazing, there is everything we could possibly want and the refurbishment you have done is top class. 

It was also a huge hit with Elijah (2 1/2) who loved his new big high chair, cot and baby bath!

We are delighted that we decided to stay here, not only for the house but the ideal location in Bamburgh and the surrounding area.

We loved it and we will be back!!

Kate, Ian and Elijah (Leeds)
