A brilliant venue and excellent customer service
We recently stayed at the old watermill in Chathill near Beadnell. The property was immaculate, beautifully decorated and the facilities were excellent. The personal service from Clare was above and beyond - we couldn't have asked for more.

Lovely holiday house
Had a lovely week here in September, the house is in a good location, just a few minutes walk from the harbour. The house was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Great walks straight from the front door.

Absolute Perfection in Craster – A Spectacular Stay at Middlerigg!
We recently had the most incredible stay at Middlerigg, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. If you are looking for the perfect location in Northumberland, this is it. The house boasts a beautiful patio at the front where you can sit with a cup of tea or a glass of wine, taking in the stunning views of the sea, the harbour, and the walkers heading up to Dunstanburgh Castle. Parking is famously tricky in Craster, so the fact that the house comes with two parking spaces large enough for two large cars is a massive bonus!
Inside, the house is absolutely perfect and immaculately clean. It features three good-sized double bedrooms, all complete with their own en-suites, and the cotton bedding was incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and well-stocked, and we were thrilled to find a lovely gift basket filled with local goodies waiting for us upon arrival. A major highlight for our family was what our girls affectionately dubbed the "secret living room"—a beautiful space where you can sit and watch the sea from the cosy comfort of the house.
If you need to stay connected, the Wi-Fi is brilliant. My husband had to work for a few days during our stay, and he said the connection was just as good as we have back home in the city centre. For downtime, there were plenty of board games to choose from, as well as a Smart TV, which was a lifesaver for catching the all-important football match. Just a stone's throw away from the house is The Jolly Fisherman, which is an absolute must for drinks in the beer garden overlooking the sea.
Middlerigg is incredibly well-situated for exploring the wider area. Craster makes an ideal base, offering easy access northwards to Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, and Lindisfarne, and southwards towards Alnmouth and Amble. It’s also only half an hour from the brilliant Cragside (National Trust), which is a fantastic day out.
Communication with Catch the Breeze was exceptional from start to finish. They sent a highly helpful information sheet beforehand, and the property itself was stocked with a fantastic guest information folder.
We will 100% be returning and are currently looking at dates for next summer. Thank you for a truly lovely stay!

Pretty close to perfect
We visited on a November weekend where we had a storm on one day and perfect blue skies on another. The house was superb. We had everything we needed, and more. Its great having the upstairs lounge with balcony - especially when you can watch 3-4m waves. Having nothing in front of you, or at the sides just adds to that. Overall the house was well sound proofed, warm and nicely decorated for Christmas. The fake wood burner added a lovely touch, without the hassle!
The games room was a real bonus, and I imagine the garden (perfect grass in Nov) must be fab in the summer. The proximity to the great pub and the kippers was appreciated.
Clare and the Catch the Breeze Team were lovely to deal with, we hope to find the opportunity to book with them again.

Another wonderful stay!
Our 3rd stay at Tan Llan and it gets better every time!
We love the location, it feels so remote but there is so much to do closeby! A walk on the beach at Barmouth is always a highlight and we were delighted to find a new place to dine at the George III in nearby Penmaenpool where we enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch. Highly recommend. We also enjoyed the nearby Precipice walk which gives wonderful views of the local area.
The house as always was absolutely spotless and has everything you could want. The grounds are beautiful and so much space for all the family. The games room always provides hours of fun! We love it here and already planning our next stay! Thank you Catch the Breeze Team!
