"The farmhouse is stunning."
There was plenty of room and we loved the gardens which surrounded the property and felt able to let off our dog as it was enclosed once we shut the gates. The welcome pack and toiletries were a thoughtful touch. We will be back.

"Beautiful house in the most stunning location."
If you’re looking for somewhere for a total escape this is your perfect place.
Everything has been thought of by the owners. We stayed as a family of 6 adults and 4 children age 6-12 and everyone loved it.
Plenty of space for the children to run around and play and lots of social space in the house for all to enjoy.
Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable.
Would return in a heartbeat!

"Jess the host was fantastic at responding - she was incredibly quick when we had a question about the heating and bins."
The hosts left us a lovely welcome hamper when was a valentines theme - it was very well received by all guests. The house was very comfortable and well looked after - the towels in the bathrooms were huge and suitable for all guests. The facilities and utensils in the kitchen were great and everything was there we required. There was a lovely walk up to the big park that the kids thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly recommend this property and hosts - thank you for a wonderful stay.

"We’ve had a wonderful weekend."
Welcome hamper was brilliant - thank you. Standard of everything was really good. Just the shower in the main bathroom hardly got hot and the one downstairs was scolding so not sure what was happening with the water temperatures/showers but other than that we loved the house and would return. We were all rather warm with the under floor heating so would have been good to be able to turn that off. Lovely area. Had a nice walk to reservoir and a look out to alnmouth. All facilities in the house was just great. Would definitely recommend!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fontburn house!"
The house is beautiful and had everything we needed! It worked perfectly for our group of 10 plus puppy. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and we really enjoyed all the lovely snacks and beverages. We visited the beach, local villages and did some walks around the area which were easily accessible from the property! I may wish we had booked for longer! Thank you!

"Fontburn Farmhouse provided superb accommodation for our 4 generations family."
The house worked well for young children, as well as the nonagenarian in the family.
The house is very well equipped, including children's crockery, cutlery, a cot and high chair.
The outside space served us well, providing a safe space for children to play. Our 4 year old granddaughter declared "it's the best holiday house ever!"

"The property was clean and comfortable."
The bedding and towels were luxurious. The house was lovely and spacious, well fitted out and clean.
The space was very conducive to my dad's physical difficulties and the only extra thing would have been a seat in the shower.
The outside space was really lovely and the weather allowed us to make some use of it which was great.

"A truly first class property, I would recommend it to everyone."
Beautiful setting, although when we were there Storm Gerrit was at its peak, but it did not stop walks to the reservoir! The house was beautifully decorated for our Christmas visit plus delicious hampers were a special touch. The rooms were cosy and warm and we certainly enjoyed the log fires in the evenings. It was the first time our immediate family had all been together for Christmas since my offspring were teenagers and the house helped make it a very special occasion for us all.
Thank you so very much for enabling us to have a wonderful Christmas in your fantastic house.

"We stayed at Fontburn farmhouse for a family gathering with x2 Grandparents and their x2 children each with their own families of x4 and a dog."
10 in total. X1 of the grandparents is disabled but using a wheelchair into and around the house was no problem. Ground floor bedroom and amenities were perfect. We couldn’t fault the property, exactly how advertised, very clean, very well equipped. It’s a lovely property in a beautiful spot, great for wildlife and star gazing. It was perfect for our needs and we were sad to go home. We all said we could live there inc the dog who loved the outside space! If I had to make improvements I d say move the dishwasher as being in the utility room, it was a bit of a pain ferrying dishes back and forth. On the upside of this it burned some calories and as it sleeps so many there were plenty of hands to help! My husband burnt his hand on the log burner door handle so maybe some heat proof gloves beside log burner would be good ( there may have been some hiding somewhere not obvious to us) He did say he should have known it would be hot but some handles are heat proof. We went back in March when it was colder but I have to say the underfloor heating was super! The log burner was fun ( despite the burn) but not necessary. Smashing stay would 100% come again. We looked to rebook for Aug but was fully booked. Excellent property, well maintained

"We had the most wonderful stay at Fontburn Farmhouse."
What a beautiful property it is! The location is stunning and surrounded by lovely countryside walks (especially the reservoir walk and play park. The house is perfectly equipped, all the things we could have needed were there. We were very grateful for the wonderful hamper of special foods for us. There is a lot of space. We were a group of 10, 6 adults and 4 young children. They loved having so much room to play and enjoy. The beds were ever so comfortable and it was amazing to open the curtains each day to the wildlife. We enjoyed a few clear skies too and the stars are spectacular. The owners couldn't do enough for us when we contacted them to extend our stay for one night. We were really impressed over all. We would absolutely come to Fontburn Farmhouse again.

"Upon arrival we were most impressed as we turned into the property."
As soon as you walk through the front door you cannot fail to be impressed. It is well laid out and a great space to share with friends or family but also offers the chance of the quiet space if you want a bit of privacy.
The house is finished to a very high standard and all equipment and utensils were top quality. There was even a very nice welcome hamper which was very well received. We had deer in the garden on more than one occasion which was a pleasant surprise.
Communication with Jess was 1st class and couldn't be better.
Would strongly recommend!!
