Family Traveller calls Nook End a ‘countryside meets coastal idyll’ in its May/June issue. Recommended along with Northumberland as a place your kids will love, writer Jane Anderson highlights Coastal Retreats and Nook End for its ‘generous supply of toys and books, funky bunk beds, highchairs and travel cots, proper kids’ crockery and cutlery, games rooms and trampolines in the garden.’ She also reviews her trip to the ‘British Galapagos’ – her description of the Farne Islands – and The Alnwick Garden, Alnwick Castle and Kielder Water and Forest Park.
