We had a lovely stay at John and Tricia’s property. The location was perfect with views to die for. It was very quiet and peaceful. The accommodation was spotless and we greatly appreciated all the extras that were there (wine, biscuits, sanitary items, tissues, cotton buds, etc). The house was very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the sun/garden room which we used everyday. The bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly each night. Both John and Tricia were very welcoming and were on hand should we need them. I would highly recommend this property. We will certainly be back for a second visit.

Thank you John and Patricia for letting us share your beautiful home. You have thought of everything for a self catering break. Very clean and tidy. Lovely views from conservatory. Could sit for hours and not get fed up with that view. Very peaceful. Easy access to many lovely towns. Thanks again for your hospitality. You should be proud of making such a beautiful home to share with others. Anne and David McNeill

This is one of the most spacious and well-equipped properties we have stayed in as a couple. Trish and John were around if we needed anything and had thought of everything (including well-placed sockets for charging our gadgets and even a hand towel in the kitchen!). We were reassured by how clean everything was as Covid restrictions were being removed. There was plenty of seating around the living room and the icing on the cake was the garden room overlooking the fields with views to the coast. We were lucky with the weather and had most meals on the verandah. Guests are requested not to stream over the internet - this wasn't a problem as we spent most of our time outdoors. The location is ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast and Scottish borders (Lindisfarne, Ford and Etal, Floors Castle, St Abbs and Coldingham beach are well worth a visit). There are the usual supermarkets within 15 minutes of the property. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to return soon.

The bothy where we stayed had everything you could want and more lots of little touches to enhance our break. It was so clean and spacious the sunroom was a great area to sit and look at the views. John and Trish were great hosts and on hand if needed. Thanks Julie, Colin and Laika

We stayed for a week in Backhill Bothy and loved everyday of it. The views from the raised terrace having breakfast in the morning was brilliant. We had 2 dogs with us and they loved it loads of room for them to run round. You need a car to get around but lots of the beaches and towns aren't that far away and only take a few minutes to get there. John and Patricia are very helpful and only came round to welcome us and give any advise we asked them they left us alone to enjoy our holiday. One of our dogs needed a vet while we was there and Patricia sorted the local vet to see her and we where seen within an hour of phoning. This home is really special and we would love to go back again in the near future. Thank you John and Patricia for a really great holiday. PS sorry for the late review John.

We have just spent a very relaxing week in the Bothy which is up there with the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a lot. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, quality fittings, comfy bed and a great shower with lovely thick towels. A really nice touch were the fresh flowers in both the lounge and bedroom along with the wine and biscuits which disappeared very quickly. The Sun room has far reaching views over lovely countryside to the sea and we ate all our meals in there. We were very lucky to have great weather and the sun shone every day which also allowed us to enjoy the southwest facing deck. Northumberland was a new holiday destination for us and we will definitely come back. Quiet roads, pretty villages, castles galore and the heritage coast with miles of lovely beaches, all within easy reach. Last but not least Trish and John are very friendly, extremely welcoming and make you that nothings too much trouble. We would love to come back one day. .

We have recently had a week in the beautifully equipped place. The Bothy is very spacious for 2 people, really clean, warm and comfortable, with wonderful views from the garden room. Easy access to the A1, Bamburghand the castle, Berwick upon Tweed, and Holy Island.

Recently stayed here and all I can say is amazing. The attention to detail with everything you could need and more ! Really lovely place to stay cannot recommend it highly enough.

Backhill Bothy is the perfect place to chill out and relax, we've stayed in many Holiday Cottages and Backhill is the most comfortable and well equipped we've ever been to, an added bonus for us was the kennels for our 2 Labradors who live outside at home and were very happy with their accommodation. Not only is Backhill a fantastic place to stay the location is perfect for visiting the best of Northumberland, Berwick upon Tweed, Holy Island and Cragside to name a few, added to which the great expanse of beaches. John and Trisha are excellent hosts and nothing is to much trouble for them . We highly recommend a visit to Backhill Bothy to anyone looking for accommodation in Northumberland.

Booked this for my parents and their dog Ellie. They had a lovely time. Very well appointed accommodation with great beaches and walks only a short drive away.
