i think you can get individual beds in that joiners shop spunkhouse if he's not fully booked. There's also a/some bunkhouse/s at annstead farm between seahouses and beadnell. I think there's one in wooler too.

Try this place:http://www.surfshacks.co.uk/windy-gyle/ It's in Belford, just down the road from Bowden. I stayed there about 10 years ago and found it perfect.

you can, but he quite often is booked up. Called Wally and a nice man.

There's also a/some bunkhouse/s at annstead farm between seahouses and beadnell. I think there's one in wooler too.

Stayed at the annstead farm one on my 30th (yes there was civilisation there that long ago) and its fine. Small and I got the impression she wanted to rent the whole thing to groups rather than individual beds. Thankfully this was what we wanted so it was all fine.

The last two times i have been I stayed here : http://www.bluebellfarmbelford.co.uk/bunkbarn.html if you go, be sure to insist on the wigwam/turkey breeding shed. Its brilliant.

Has anyone been here recently, or indeed managed to get through on the telephone?

I will try again tomorrow, but I just can't get through.
