“Lovely cottage in remote area of Northumberland.”

Ideal for those with a busy lifestyle wanting to get away from everything and get some peace and quiet.

Perfect for a family, exploring Northumberland.

“Curlew is a beautiful cottage in excellent condition and fully appointed with all that you need for a comfortable stay.”

You will need a car as it is 2-1/2 miles to the village. Although the cottage is very remote it was a little disappointing not to have great views from the cottage windows because on one side there is a pretty enclosed courtyard and on the other a neighbours wooden building. However a short walk outside and you can see all the country you need!

“The cottage was ideal for our cycling holiday, well situated for what we wanted to do.”

Outside it looked a bit neglected, lawn needed cutting and general weeding, however hanging baskets were put up on our last day. The microwave had instructions but it seemed to be very complicated compared to ours and we couldn't use it as it had so many buttons and all I wanted to do was reheat something! Sounds sad, but mine at home you just press one button for what you want to do. Also the tin opener wasn't working properly so had to dig out tin of meat! It was a bit confusing seeing a payment meter for the electric and then a relief to see the electric was included in the rental. Also the fact that the immersion heater needed to be switched on to activate the water heater under the sink wasn't too obvious. Perhaps it could be mentioned that quilted loo rolls are not to be used as we found out on arrival - we'd taken some but some correct ones were provided but we had to replace them when used and had to ask in the shops what was suitable for use with a septic tank. This was on the helpful information sheets, but not on the website information. Other than those little niggles, it was a lovely place to stay and pleasantly furnished, peaceful and everything was provided and well thought about. We'd stay there again if we were in that area.

“Better than expected”

The photos on the web do not do justice to this delightful cottage. My mother and I wanted a base in Northumberland that would allow us to visit relatives in both Cumbria and Newcastle and this cottage is almost at the mid point so it was chosen because of its location but we got a lot more than we expected - a lovely warm, cosy cottage with every thing you might want and charming hosts - Colin and Lillian Parker who made us feel most welcome and provided extras like fresh eggs.

“Curlew Cottage”

A very comfortable cottage only a short distance from Hadrian's Wall. The weather was against us when we were there, so we spent more time in cottage. It had all the amenities and was cosy. The owner was on site and exceptionally helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
