  • "Lovely modern cottage in a really nice village with Pub 2 min walk."

    Ideal to explore the surrounding countryside and towns and villages nearby and beyond (Alnwick, Bamburgh, Holy Island etc. All well worth a visit). Owner Lynn left a nice arrival pack with bread, milk, cakes, scones and dodgy treats which our dog Ollie the Collie loved. Not really been to Northumberland before and is a real hidden gem of an area especially if you love dog walking like us. Shoulder of Mutton pub has fairly standard pub food on which we ate in most evenings and is very welcoming and dog friendly. Highly recommended property and area will be back in the future !

    Thank you for your lovely feedback, I am so pleased you loved Northumberland it is a beautiful place with lots to do and see. I look forward to seeing you both and Ollie the collie again in the future. Kind Regards Lynn Property Owner

    Very comfortable, very cosy and has everything you need. The welcome hamper is a lovely touch and even includes biscuits for the dogs, whuch they loved! The bungalow is well placed for access to all of Northumberland and with a shop and a pub in the village that's even better. Sadly the weather wasn't great so we were unable to take advantage of the local walks but we will return, hopefully in better weather.

    The village is great, with a good shop, lots of space to walk dogs, and the fish and chip van visits on a Friday evening - delicious! The rear garden has high walls, which we needed for our dogs, we did have to buy a padlock as there was no way to lock the rear gate and they could open it, however they are big dogs and I’m sure it would be fine for any smaller types. The kitchen is small but has everything you need, more than I have at home! Everywhere was clean, the two sofas were comfortable, and there is lots of storage.

    The boys loved the bunk beds and having a TV in the bedroom! There is a good selection of books, games and DVDs. It was clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of storage for clothes and coats. Loved the photographs of various locations in the county. Lynn had provided a welcome pack and fresh fruit in the fruit bowl, which was a lovely touch. It was a cold week so we enjoyed coming back to the cosy warmth of the place. We had a small issue with the shower but Lynn sorted it out the same day so was not a problem at all. We’ve been to Northumberland several times and felt this location was one of the best, within easy reach of the coast and Hadrian’s Wall. Another bonus is the lovely pub just around the corner. We cooked in the cottage most evenings, the kitchen is small but very well equipped, the only thing we missed having was a dishwasher but that’s only because we are so used to having one.

    The communication from Lynn was great, right from the initial booking right through to us checking out, we were also offered a slightly earlier check in too which was a great bonus. When we arrived we noticed some nice little touches like wrapped Christmas treats for us and the doggies. The property was perfect for us, there’s a secure garden for the dogs, everything we needed from the kitchen, an open plan living and dining area, master bedroom was a good size with loads of storage space, our 4 year old loved his bedroom, and the bathroom was of great standard too. A few things that impressed us was having a tv in both bedrooms, great WiFi (those two are very important when you have children), everything was clean, there were some board games and DVD’s for a bit of entertainment and little touches like these just added to the positive experience. My only confusion with this property is why it’s listed on Sykes as 3 ticks! Overall I would highly recommend this property for couples, families and dog owners.

  • "A very well equipped bungalow that had everything we needed, even dog bowls, treats and towels for the dog."

    A welcome pack of bread, scones, clotted cream, jam, margarine, fruit and wine was a lovely touch too. The local shop was just around the corner and just up the lane from there was a walk that we did every morning with the dog, before heading out and about for the day. It was ideally situated for the surrounding area and we travelled to lots of different places like Druridge Bay, Dunstanburgh Castle, Hadrian's wall, Carlisle Park in Morpeth, Rothbury, Warkworth Castle and Whitley Bay all lovely places and dog friendly too. Lynne messaged a couple of times with updates and to apologise when the bungalow wasn't quite ready for our arrival time as she'd had to give some bits a touch up of paint, but this wasn't an issue for us but it was nice to be kept informed. I would definitely recommend this property and its only because I like to travel to different areas otherwise I'd definitely stay here again.

  • "A lovely bungalow."

    Very clean throughout with everything you’d ever need. Some lovely touches with the welcome pack on arrival and milk in the fridge. Even some treats for the dog! Set in peaceful surroundings with a great village green, which our football and cricket mad son enjoyed most evenings playing until the sun went down! The village shop is a must for freshly made sandwiches and cakes etc and the couple who run it are lovely! The local pub is very welcoming and just a few minutes drive down the road is another pub which has an extensive menu and very friendly staff. Our first visit to Northumberland and certainly will not be our last! Loved the countryside and it’s historic castles.

  • "Loved this bungalow."

    It was cosy and the bed and settees were comfy. In spite of it's size it was really well-equipped and everything well thought out. The welcome hamper was delicious . The house was spotless and clean. A true credit to the owners. The kitchen is quite small but well-designed. However, I never really mastered the new electric hob efficiently with numerous buttons to press to turn on and set temperatures. Just a few minutes walk away, however, is a lovely shop selling homemade food and cakes. On Thursdays a pizza van appeared and Friday a Fish and Chip van so we had plenty of options for food. A pub is also close by that serves food. For the dogs we were pleasantly surprised to have been left treats. Bowls, throws and poo bags were also provided which makes you feel like your dogs are truly welcomed. The garden was paved and had seating a swing and was very nice. It was fully enclosed but we weren't sure if the little terrier could squeeze through the gate bars so we used the box for glass recycling outside the kitchen door to block it as a precaution. For dog walks you are a few minutes from a green and a walk through allotments. About 5 minutes away is Longhorsley common and there are networks of paths extending onwards. Further afield (20 mins) is Rothbury a lovely small market town with lots of walks and about 30 mins + are the beaches at Alnmouth, Amble, Seahouses etc. We have passed through Longhorsley many times driving up to Scotland, blink and you will miss it but having stayed at Reivers Retreat it is certainly a place I would recommend.
