Mr Axford December 2019

“As soon as we arrived we felt at home.”

Anne & John had provided us with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great and there was plenty of room. Though the cottage was near to a main road we didn't hear the traffic at all due to its position, being lower than the road and behind a copse of trees. This gave us many a restful night's sleep. The cottage is ideally situated for sight seeing and there are many tourist leaflets provided. Anne & John are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

- Mr Axford, December 2019
Mr Sandhu November 2019

“The property is in a stunning location with easy access to both Northumberland and Scotland for those who want to explore.”

The property is of a really high standard and was very comfortable and cosy. The owners didn't intrude on our visit at all which is unlike other properties we have stayed in in the past. The whole experience was fantastic and we look forward to returning to explore more of the area.

Sally R June 2019

“The perfect holiday cottage for a family or couple with a dog.”

Cosy cottage with expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Otterburn is only 3 miles away where you can buy supplies in the village shop then visit Otterburn Mill, the cafe is well worth a visit and you can take dogs in the shop and cafe. Hexham and Hadrians Wall is about a 30 minute drive on quiet roads, Hexham Abbey is well worth a visit as is the market. Keillor Forest is a short drive and there are footpaths all over the place. The cottage itself is owned by the very helpful, friendly Ann and John. It is light, very clean, welcoming and has everything you need for your self catering holiday. We cannot wait to return.

“We really enjoyed our time in Northumbria and the cottage really helped with this.”

It is a warm and comfortable place to rest and play. The hosts are warm and generous people and the cottage is clean and comfortable. We would recommend upgrading some facilities such as adding wifi, a dishwasher and dark curtains in the bedrooms. However, apart from this we enjoyed our time here.

Mrs Bell May 2019

“There were one or two things missing, there were no instructions for any of the electrical items, for example the cooker.”

Also waste bins in the bedrooms and no chairs or stools in the bedrooms to sit on or put clothes on.. The cottage was rather cold (not good weather though, cold) and was not helped that the 3 piece suite was leather. The bathroom floor really does need replacing. The bed was exceedingly comfortable and the whole place was very very clean and nicely furnished. The owners, Ann and John were very helpful and kind.

- Mrs Bell, May 2019
Miss Ohagan March 2019

“In regards to pet friendly.”

“Peaceful and dark skies”

A lovely warm friendly and welcoming property. A get away from the rat race sort of place. Ann & John very helpful.

“The ideal cosy cottage to get away from it all”

Spent a lovely half-term week at Drover's Rest. It's warm and very well equipped. The owners made us feel very welcome without being intrusive. The cottage is easy to find, being well signposted and handily placed near to a main road, but no traffic noise at all. Spectacular views and incredibly clear skies at night. Plenty to see & do in the local area, the cottage is also within reach of Hadrian's Wall, Cragside and the many coastal attractions. It's also dog-friendly which is a major plus.

Mrs Bassirian August 2018

“Fantastic cottage, a real home from home.”

Amazing views from cottage. Super clean. Super comfortable. Close to pretty much most stuff in Northumberland. Our kids 5&7 loved it. The owners were fantastic, they were really good with the kids and the children were free to explore all of the grounds and we didnt need to worry about them being quiet. The owners live on site and are there if you need them and also great to have a chat with. But also happy to leave you alone to get on with your holiday. I put out the kids washing to dry but it rained, when we returned it had been dried and folded for us!!! When we return to Northumberland we will be staying here again!

“I would love to go again and I intend to go again in the autumn.”

The cottage was lovely, clean and well appointed. there were flowers and a packet of biscuits waiting for us on our arrival. The heating system was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and left you to do your own thing but were very approachable for help and advice. Although the fridge in the cottage has a small freezer the hosts were very willing to share their large freezer with you. The surrounding area was the beautiful Northumbrian countryside. Less than 20 miles to the seaside and many places of interest easily accessible. The local pub (1 Mile approx. away) does excellent food and drink. The local village shop (3 mile approx. away) is well stocked and offers a dining area offering cooked food etc. There is an Otterburn Mill outlet selling clothing and gifts is in the village also offering snack food. We loved the peace and tranquillity of the area and the friendliness of the residents and would recommend a visit.

Had a great 3 nights at Drover's Rest. Ideally located in the Dark Sky area of Northumberland and close to Kielder Forest for star gazing and going to visits to Kielder Forest and Castle.

Lovely location and still close to all the things you may want to visit, pubs, castles, lakes, countryside. Lynne and Allan

“Otterburn”

Very pleasant & clean cottage. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, make sure you take directions as there is no wifi so had to stop at the mill shop in Otterburn! Even through Otterburn is remote, nearest supermarket is 23 miles away in Hexham there is lots to do and see in Northumberland especially if you are National Trust members. We had a very good holiday and would recommend staying in Otterburn again.

The delightful village of Otterburn, once the site of the famous 1388 victory of the Scots over the English, nestles close to the banks of the River Rede, between the hills and moors overlooking the North Tyne Valley. It offers excellent walking opportunities and is on a variety of popular routes for cyclists. Hadrian's Wall and the beautiful Kielder Forest and Waters are close by, providing fantastic fishing, horse riding and nature watching, amidst superb, tranquil countryside. Otterburn is the former home of a busy weaving industry, and the world famous Otterburn Mill marks the village's historic past. Nearby Bellingham, built predominantly from local stone and slate, houses a handful of pubs, shops and tea rooms and a highly regarded 18 hole golf course.
