I went to Bamburgh after winning a luxury break - I love this part of England and was quite excited at being told I would be staying in a five-star cottage. I didn't really expect it to live up to the blurb on the website but was pleasantly surprised at the farm and outbuilding conversion which was down a single lane track about one mile from Bamburgh Castle.

When we got there the staff were still tidying the place inside and my husband was all of a quiver when one of the girls said her name was Tatiana. The inside of the cottage was a complete surprise as it was like being in a very swish hotel with ultra modern decor, flat screen televisions, a superb fitted kitchen and everything was of the highest quality. There was milk in the fridge, a bottle of wine in the rack, fresh flowers and a welcome box which contained local honey, jam, marmalade, shortbread and a lovely homemade fruitcake.

The place and its situation was a complete dream. The area is one of outstanding beauty and I can only urge people to go and stay at one of these fantastic cottages. I will be going back next year as it was so luxurious.

PS. The butcher in Bamburgh sells the best fillet steak and Scotch pies that I have ever had.
