    “Property was exactly as described.”

    Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, comfortable and welcoming. The welcome treats were very thoughtful (and tasty) and included home baked cake and a lovely cut flower display which looked like it had come from the owners garden. Even the dog was not forgotten. It says dog friendly and the cottage certainly was, he was made to feel very welcome! Gosforth is an ideal location to holiday with 2 pubs within 5 minutes providing good food, nice Italian restaurant and a bakery. Perfect for coast ...

It says dog friendly and the cottage certainly was, he was made to feel very welcome! Gosforth is an ideal location to holiday with 2 pubs within 5 minutes providing good food, nice Italian restaurant and a bakery. Perfect for coast and country. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
