"Really enjoyed the warmth and comfort of the Mistall."
Well situated for the coast, Alnwick & Bamburgh castles, Lindisfarne /Holy Island. Dog friendly - places to walk within the village of Glanton.

"We stayed at the Mistal with our three sons and three dogs and we absolutely loved it."
The house was lovely and comfortable, it was really well presented and spotless and immediately felt like home. The owners have really given thought to every detail and there wasn't a thing that we could have needed or wished for in addition to what had been provided. They even left some milk and three packets of dog biscuits for us upon arrival.
We have stayed in a lot of cottages in the NE as we are often up visiting family, this is the only one we would return to. In fact, we considered not leaving

"We had a great week at The Mistal."
For us and our well-behaved elderly Springer Spaniel the accommodation was perfect and in a great location between 15 and 30 mins from 'everywhere we'd planned to visit'. We'll certainly be recommending this as a very comfortable and well-appointed base from which to explore the area.

"We hade a wonderful stay at Mistal Cottage."
It is thoughtfully kitted out with everything you might possibly need, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. It's a real home from home.
Well situated to explore the Northumberland countryside and coast.
We highly recommend this place, don't hesitate, make a booking!

"The cottage had everything we could have hope for and more."
It was clean and tidy, spacious and in a good area for accessing the coast but away from the madding crowd. We took 3 well behaved dogs and although a garden for them would have been ideal, there was a lane nearby to take them out. We certainly won’t hesitate in going back to this lovely cottage when we are next in the area. Many many thanks for a wonderful week and even the weather was fantastic.

"We were really impressed with the house."
It was really well set up as a let with quality furniture, kitchen ware etc which was great to see as it makes the experience so much nicer. Also all the thoughtful touches like cleaning equipment in cupboard up high shows again how well youve thought through the let.
Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

"Our second time of staying at the Mistal and we love it."
Every thing you could possibly need is in the cottage. They have thought of everything and more. It is super clean and roomy too. The lack of a garden doesn't bother us as it is handy to park your car right outside the door so not far to deal with luggage in and out. The courtyard is off road too. It is an ideal base for exploring all around which we love to do and visiting the countryside nearby especially the Breamish valley. We hope to return there.

"We had a great time staying in the Mistal for our holiday and hope to be booking it again for next year."
The cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need even poobags for our dog if needed. The owner kindly left biscuits and milk as well as a vase of flowers for our arrival which was nice. The property is central for coast and country and you can get to the border of Scotland too within a short drive. We were lucky with the weather too but the cottage is a real home from home should you require it in a village which is so quiet the children can play in the street. If you wish to get away from it all and live life in the countryside this is perfect but Alnwick is only a few miles away for all you might need. There is no garden at all here though so take note should you require dog space but plenty walks from the door.
