  • "Excellent for the money."

    Beyond expectation. Very comfortable well equipped. Excellent location for visits all over Northumberland only 40 mins to an hour from anywhere. If we ever come this way again we would stay here again. Also the reception staff were helpful and welcoming.

  • "Property in an excellent location for exploring Northumberland."

    First impressions of accommodation when walking in was lovely however one of the sofas was unfit for sitting on - two enormous dents in the cushions making it uncomfortable to use plus electric shower upstairs was very poor

  • "When booking the property on looking at the pictures we thought it looked a little old fashioned decor."

    Was not really expecting much tbh and was worried on what we would turn up too . On arrival to the property we were met by a lovley lady who gave us instructions on how to find the cottage When we arrived we opened the cottage door and were very surprised on how clean it was and the decor was so fitting to the style of cottage and actually looked very nice . Lovely and spacious for a family of 4 it was not what I was expecting from the pictures on the website it was a million times better and felt so at home and comfortable. Very very clean and fully equipt . We had a issue with the toilet but this was sorted so quickly within 10 mins of reporting this and we were very well looked after. If i had to give one negative The bathroom could have done with a little thicker curtain rather than a net as felt a little exposed but that was easily resolved with a little towel over it again not a massive issue . We had the best holiday and it was a perfect little base for us . Highly recommened .
