Perfect Location

Loved the property - perfect location for visiting sites such as Alnwick Gardens, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and near to some fab restaurants. Check in process and communication with owner first class. The property wasn't spotless with plenty of signs of pet hair but for us that didn't detract from a lovely 4 days.

Our return visit did not disappoint.

Pyg Pen is a beautifully presented and a well equipped property, with everything you could possibly need. It’s situated in an ideal location for day trips and exploring the local area. Property has an enclosed back garden which is ideal for dog owners and plenty of parking in front of the house for more than one vehicle. Lots of places to visit in the local area. This was our third stay in Pyg Pen and it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend the property and the area.
