About Anne Lawrence

We are Anne & Brian Lawrence mid 50s . We live just outside Newcastle upon Tyne about 50 miles from Cove Cottage. We consider the cottage to be an extension of our own home, so the furnishings and equipment are of a higher standard than you usually find in a holiday home. We like to manage all the booking and cleaning ourselves, to make sure the standard of the cottage does not suffer due to a lack of attention to detail. Our aim is to make your visit as comfortable as possible and hopefully you will leave feeling you have had value for the money you have spent. We get great pleasure from the comments in our visitors book from satisfied guests.

Anne Lawrence purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Anne Lawrence chose Bamburgh

Anne spent many happy childhood years on holiday near Cove Cottage, her Aunt's and Uncles had caravans on a couple of sites in the area in the 1960s, When Anne & I were 17 years old we used to come to the area in my first car, every time we drove past the houses at Waren Mill I would say to Anne ''I would love to live here' and so it was in 2005 we came across Cove Cottage by chance whilst looking for an investment for our pension income. When we walked through the door the first time we just got that special feeling this was the place for us, not just a holiday let, a special place!

What makes this cottage unique

The cottage is in the most scenic area of the Northumberland coast, you won't find a better area as a holiday base, we have so many comments from guests saying a week is not enough, many return on a regular basis each year. Not only do you have the immediate area but for miles around in all directions, beauty and history is everywhere.

A Very Happy New Year!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Feb 25, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
Our stay at Cove Cottage was just what we needed. A lovely peaceful setting in a house that was like a home from home, even down to the live Christmas tree in the living room. Everything you could possibly need is provided (and more) we were so impressed. The cottage was clean, snug and warm and proved ideal for some lovely local walks and the opportunity to see the wonderul fireworks on New Year's Eve at Belford.
Would thoroughly recommend this cottage to others.
Owner's Response: Fantastic ! We are so pleased you had such a good New Year visit to Northumberland, we feel a real Christmas Tree just adds a little extra to that festive atmosphere, thank you so much for your review.

Luxurious cottage, perfect hosts, brilliant base

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Feb 20, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
Sometimes you don't want to be too honest with a review in case other people cotton onto your secret. Cove Cottage is a perfect example!

Anne and Brian are exemplary hosts whose insights are wonderful and we were so very grateful for their local recommendations. Lots of information inside the cottage with maps, guidebooks, information leaflets giving a wonderful insight to the history of the cottage and the local area.

The cottage is itself luxuriously furnished, certainly more than a 'holiday cottage', and the surroundings are beautiful. The sound of silence was perfectly relaxing and peaceful.

The kitchen is bigger than it looks on the photographs and it’s toasty cosy with the heating in the cold winter.

Outstanding areas of beauty on the doorstep and the major problem given to us was what to do and when. We really must visit again next year as there was so much to do – fingers crossed they’re not fully booked already!
Owner's Response: "The sound of silence" was a welcome comment, many guests ask the question, Is the cottage quiet? Are there any busy roads nearby? We like to encourage regular reviews so that potential guests can confirm our high standards are constantly maintained within the cottage.
Thank you for taking the time to post this review it will be very useful to many people.

Excellent home from home

  • Submitted: Jan 7, 2012
  • Stayed: Dec 2011
This was our second visit to Cove cottage and we are delighted with the homely touches provided by Anne and Brian. Furnishings and equipment are of an excellent standard and vey well maintained. Bedding and linen is better than we have had in 4 satr hotels.
This is a beautiful place to stay if you want peace and quiet, no noise and not much in the way of street lighting so you can enjoy the spectacular night skies.
We can find no fault with this property, everything straightforward at the booking and good contact from owners.
Hopefully we will be returning for another visit and would strongly recommend Cove Cottage to friends.
Top rate place to stay, many thanks Anne and Brian

Owner's Response: We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage, we constantly renew items in the cottage to maintain a high standard,so it is very pleasing when guests comment on comfort and standard of furnishings etc, our aim is that you will remember your visit for all the good reasons and will return in future years.
Many thanks Anne & Brian

Home from home in beautiful part of England

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 18, 2011
  • Stayed: Sep 2011
We stayed at Cove Cottage at the end of September as an alternative to paying to stay in one of the hotels/B&Bs in Bamburgh itself, and we were not disappointed.

The cottage itself is in a very peaceful location, and is well decorated and maintained. It is as though you are staying in someone's house, not a holiday home. It was cosy - and i imagine in the winter it is even more so when you get the fire going. There is also a private court yard where you could let your children play without having to worry about them straying onto a road.

We walked into Bamburgh along the beach past Budle Bay, and then back along the road (as tide was in) - it is a good couple of miles but a beautiful walk along the coast. If you're a keen photographer, there are endless opportunities. Bamburgh is a beautiful village (can get busier on the weekend) with an amazing castle and wonderful sand dunes.

We also visited Lindisfarne, also excellent, Seahouses and Alnwick (both worth a wander round). Alnwick gardens are worth a visit too.

Owners of the cottage were lovely, keeping in touch before the holiday and then giving a courtesy call to make sure everything was going well. It was also great to find someone who offers their cottage on a nightly basis rather that only a week at a time.

All in all, we didn't want to come home!

Thanks for a great couple of days! I have already recommended Cove Cottage to friends.

Owner's Response: Thank you for taking time to post this review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you return in the future for a longer visit perhaps. Your information is very helpful to other future guests. Also thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. Anne & Brian

The Best Self Catering Cottage We Have Used

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 4, 2011
  • Stayed: Sep 2011
Cove Cottage is a superbly equipped self catering establishment, immaculately clean and a real home from home. The minute you walk through the door you sense that this going to be an excellent choice of accomodation!

The listing description is accurate in all details - location, layout and facilities. The property is clean, tidy and well maintained.

Anne and Brian, the owners, provide excellent customer service. As we arrive late afternoon, early evening, they are not there to greet us (I suspect they would be if we arrived earlier!), but there is always a bottle of wine and a welcoming card left for us, the lights left on, and a warm glow from the fire in the lounge, and shortly after we arrive there is a phone call from Anne to make sure that everything is satisfactory.

We most certainly have recommended this property to our friends and relatives.

Within the area we have dined at The Victoria Hotel and The Castle Hotel in Bamburgh and The Barn at Beal. All provide tasty and value for money meals. (If you are a dog owner, dogs are welcome to sit in the bar at The Victoria) We have had delicious sandwices and cakes from The Pantry in Bamburgh.

We have visited Bamburgh Beach, The Grace Darling Museum, Bamburgh Church, Seahouses (trips out to the Farne Islands), Berwick upon Tweed (historic city, museums and Elizabethan walls), Alnwick (Barter Books reputed to be the largest second hand bookshop in the country), - Alnwick Castle used in Harry Potter Films, Alnwick Garden & Tree House Restaurant [superb meals but you need to book] Lindisfarne (Holy Island) - Castle, Priory, Heritage Centre, Mead Factory, walks and bird watching, Low Newton be the Sea, The Ship Inn serves superb ploughman's lunches - again you need to book to be sure of a meal at busy times

The villages of Ford & Etal (The Heatherslaw Light Railway,[runs alongside the River Till between Heatherslaw and Etal] Heatherslaw Corn Mill & Cafe) The thatched pub The Bull in Etal & Etal Castle. Ford Estate Village and Lady Waterford Hall.

We also visited Kelso and Melrose [Abbey] - Russell's Restaurant in Melrose serves very tasty meals)

This self catering property is ideally situated for exploring the Scottish Borders, The Northumberland AONB, The Northumberland Heritage Coast, the Cheviot Hills - and basically anywhere between Edinburgh and Newcastle!

You can guage our satisfaction with this property as this has been our fourth return visit!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: The best September weather for years must have made your holiday special, 28c most of the week, it was great to welcome you back again and thank you for your kind words, I was pleased to meet you both and Ruby the chocolate labrador on your last day. See you next year !
