May 2008 | The cottage was lovely and warm for an early spring holiday. It had a lovely cosy feel, perfect after coming in from a busy day walking in the cold spring weather.The cottage was in an ideal position for visiting all that Northumberland had to offer.
Mrs Marriott, Swadlincote, Leicestershire
Apr 2008 | The cottage was a perfect base for our week in the north east. The cottage was clean, and perfectly equipped to a very high standard. The surrounding area is beautiful and there is loads to keep two under tens busy!! All the instructions were very easy to follow, and it made it a very relaxing week.

Mrs Bayliss, Mayfield, East Sussex
Oct 2007 | Excellent, the owner went out of his way to meet us as we arrived late and had made the booking at the very last minute.
Ms Milner, Leeds, West Yorkshire
Oct 2007 | Gabby Cottage is in an excellent location - handy for Alnwick Seahouses and Bamburgh. There are also excellent beaches on the doorstep - long, sandy ones and hardly a soul on them! Great for the kids!
The surrounding countryside also adds to the idyllic location. Gabby Cottage is very well equipped and has plenty of space for a family.
Miss Morelli, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Aug 2007 | The cottage was very welcoming, as were the owners, who provided good red wine (one of our favourite varieties - they must be telepathic!) and a very thoughtful "starter pack" of food.
The fresh flowers in the kitchen and living room made us feel very much at home and were a lovely finishing touch.
We enjoyed a warm, comfortable and relaxing break in a cottage which is well equipped, well placed for exploring the area and good value for money.
We are hoping to book again in the future.
Mr Daniels, Preston, Lancashire
Feb 2007 | Cottage is in a good location, beaches nearby very unspoilt. Kitchen very well equipped. Food etc. left by owners a nice touch.
