  • "It was a very enjoyable stay, the cottage was cosy, homely and clean."

    The location was perfect for exploring the area. Russell was only a phone call away and had plenty of suggestions for places to eat and visit nearby. We would hope to stay again in the future and would certainly recommend to others.

    Mr Leslie GeorgeSep 2025

  • "Ramblers Cottage is a home away from home."

    The owners have put a lot of effort into making the property comfortable, clean, well equipped and welcoming. Their suggestions for places to visit within easy reach of the cottage and places to eat out, were very useful. We very much enjoyed our stay and are planning the return visit. Would highly recommend. Sue and Peter

    The area around Powburn is great for walking and is near to hills and the coast, so is ideally placed to explore. Powburn has a petrol station which also has a well stocked shop for any of those last minute items. Overall a really nice place to stay.

    Mrs Emma MastersAug 2024

  • "It is a beautiful property set in a very small quiet village."

    The property is very clean, and beautifully decorated with lots of thought into the theme of the design, and a lovely seating area in the back garden; the property is very comfortable and is in a very quiet area. The property has a spacious bathroom with a very comfortable bed and we would stay again for sure. Very accessible to Newcastle, Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne, and other great scenic areas. We even visited Beamish Live Museum which was only 59 minutes from this location and is worth visiting. We really enjoyed our stay here. 5 stars !

    It is extremely well equipped and ideally situated for exploring the lovely Northumberland countryside and seaside.

    Dr Mike GrahamJul 2018

  • "Unfortunately there was an overpowering smell from the oil boiler."

    It permeated the whole home. I did let the owner know and he has responded. Also the Internet network didn't connect, there was no hair dryer (which I assumed would be there as they always are in other holiday homes). Overall the standard was lower than I am used to and I take UK holidays twice yearly staying in often cheaper but much higher standard houses/cottages.
