  • "The reason Angus is mentioned in so many previous reviews is because he is a naturally friendly and helpful person."

    No matter how pushed for time he is he stops to show you how to operate the induction hob and switch on the various lights. He is never intrusive but you know he would be there to help if you ever needed it. The property itself is warm, draught free, clean and comfortable. The spiral stairs and low ceiling were not a problem for 70somethings but the tall sided bath could be for a person shorter than 5 foot. We appreciated being able to sit out in the very naturalistic garden/grounds having a coffee admiring the huge crops of apples! The only downside is the sound of fast moving traffic at rush hour on the nearest road but you may not notice this if you are from a busier place. Otherwise this is a very quiet location.

  • "The cottage was spotlessly clean, the host was brilliant, he was there to greet us."

    Showing how to Operate the cooker and hob. There was a welcome pack for us comprising of cheese, grapes,eggs and two individual cakes. There was also tea, coffee, sugar and milk enabling us to have a hot drink after a long drive. We didn't need to purchase any cleaning materials as these were all there for us to use which is not always the case. The host also provided some ideas of some attractions we we want to visit. He also said if we needed any information of recommendation on places to eat. Will be returning for another visit. Angus and Claire thank you for being such lovely host. Paul & Benita

  • "What An Amazing Cottage And lovelyHoliday."

    We received a lovely warm friendly welcome from Angus upon our arrival to the cottage and a full tour of the facilities which was nice and set us up for the week. Lovely to find milk and cheese a bottle of wine cakes and grapes tea coffee and sugar a really thoughtful touch. The cottage is amazing absolutely spotlessly clean and spacious and furnished to a very high standard there is everything provided. The bed is super comfy and the bath is lovely with plenty of hot water. The cottage is warm and even has a log burner if you want a cosy night infront of the fire. The grounds are stunning with a table and chairs for a glass of wine while watching the sun go down. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet the property provided it was so relaxing and a perfect place to unwind. The location is superb and very close to Berwick and Holy Island etc. Angus provided us with lots of hints and tips on the local area for our bird and nature watching and it paid off we saw some lovely new birds we hadn't seen before and seals dolphins and otters. Nothing was too much trouble for Angus he was always on hand to answer any questions etc a fantastic host. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday we will definitely be returning to you in the future. Kindest regards Stu and Rach

    It was so lovely to meet you both. Thanks so much for choosing Stable cottage for your stay. We are glad that you managed to spot some birdlife to add to your list...

  • "Stable Cottage really is a haven from home."

    We used it as a base from which to explore the local area and returning to the cottage in the evenings gave us a feeling of peace and serenity. It's pretty unique in that sense. The owner must take credit for the care and attention to detail that he has put into designing the cottage; it has everything you need on holiday plus so much more. There are so many nice things that could could be said about the owner too from being warm, friendly and welcoming through to helpful and considerate. Who could ask for more? We enjoyed a lovely and memorable stay, we will definitely go back and we highly recommend it.

  • "Stable cottage was superb."

    Ideally situated to explore the Northumberland coastal line. We suggest putting All Saints church, Duddo into google maps as Stable cottage is right next door to it and the postcode on the website takes you to a different place. Angus, the owner was very accommodating giving us lots of useful information, places to eat etc. He also supplied us with a lovely welcome pack of milk, eggs, cheese, wine and grapes. We made use of his beautiful garden to soak up the evening sun and listen to the birds singing. We took our bikes to explore the area which were stored safely in his shed. Thank you Angus this was all very much appreciated.

    Thanks so much folks it was lovely to meet you both. I'm so glad the sun shone for you and your fabulous bikes Property Owner

Everything you need is provided by the most accommodating host my husband and I have ever met: nothing was a bother for Angus and he was able to provide good local information about places to visit and where to eat, and crucially, where not to! We would definitely return to Stable Cottage, we left feeling restored and relaxed and ready to face work again. Go, you won’t regret it!

    In a beautiful area with loads on the doorstep and bike rides and local walks are gorgeous. Angus is great host, he has some fantastic locals only recommendations and tells a good story if you have time for chat. We had such a lovely week, the fire is great and really cosy and there isn't anything missing you might want... other than a record player and some good records (we took our own!) If its sunny, breakfast on the lawn is lovely and as the bathroom is so relaxing I dont think I have had that many baths in years! The bedroom does require a little bit of wrangling to get used to on the first night but after that is like sleeping in a tent with beams, cosy and hidden away and so much fun. I am pregnant and my husband is 6ft3 and neither of us struggled with the ceiling at all, just remember to bend! Thanks again to Angus for a such a lovely welcome

Follow the ornate spiral staircase up to the mezzanine-style bedroom, unpack your belongings and take a rest on the stunning king-size gothic bed.

During the summer months, you and your partner can take delight in using the extensive lawned two acre gardens and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining during a balmy evening.
