    We have just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at Ridge Cottage and were absolutely delighted with it. The cottage was warm, cosy and extremely clean with a lovely welcome basket on arrival, much appreciated after a long journey. The location is very peaceful and the cottage itself is immaculate. We’ve stayed in a lot of places that have seen better days but it is evident the cottage is well cared for and maintained by the owners, they clearly care about your stay and obviously take pride in Ridge Cottage. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! We will hopefully be back very soon!

    Very comfortable and spotlessly clean through out with the best array of kitchen contents we've ever found in a rental property. Location is tucked away down a farm lane with fields all around making it quiet and peaceful.

Although the cottage is in a rural location, it is only a few minutes down a long bumpy single track road and then you are on a recent "B road" and are about 20 - 30 minutes away from Morpeth and the Northumberland coast. There isn't any internet connection, but we were able to get a signal in order use our mobile phones just a couple of yards outside the cottage.

The cottage is found down a long bumpy track so you really are in the middle of the countryside and all the bonuses that come - owls, bats, nesting housemartins and fledglings being fed on top of our car was a delight and gorgeous views and sunsets. The surrounding areas really are beautiful and we only just scraped the surface during our week so another trip is being planned! Local shopping in Morpeth (about 10 miles away) is great - everything you need including the supermarkets. Lindisfarne was lovely but too busy but the quieter places such as Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Cresswell and Newton by the sea are fab! The latter especially for long dog walks along an unspoilt sandy beach.
