  • "Thank you for a lovely stay - property was very well laid out and plenty of room."

    Two bathrooms was ideal for us and Hubby loved the bath ( we only have a shower at home!!) Drive to cottage from main road is a tad rough, the milk vending machine at the start on the farm was a winner for us. Owner left an amazing hamper basket, complete with doggy treat too...all in all we had just what we needed a lovely escape in a cosy warm cottage, just spending some quality time together.

    A welcome pack of groceries/goodies got us off to a good start. The owners of the cottage had obviously given a lot of attention to detail; we wanted for nothing. The addition of personal items and furnishings around the cottage gave it a very homely feel. Very satisfied; we will return.

    What a week it was!! We truly couldn’t fault it… Firstly, the location is sublime. Very isolated, but in a very good way! Extremely tranquil and beautiful. Fabulous dark skies at night, gives fantastic starry skies above!! The cottage itself is absolutely gorgeous! Spotlessly clean and very welcoming. Vivienne and Lindsey, had left a lovely welcome basket of goodies (with our dogs favourite treat included!). Everything you need for a great week was there in this cottage. Wonderful environment for dogs, too, with lovely walks just outside the door! Our dog, Lady, loved it!! Vivienne was a lovely lady, who took the time to have a few chats. We would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage and we will be returning to see the rest of the beautiful Northumberland countryside!!! Thank you Vivienne and Lindsey!!

    Thank you! All the little extras are on hand incase you forget anything and the cottage is well resourced. The cottage is found down a long bumpy track so you really are in the middle of the countryside and all the bonuses that come - owls, bats, nesting housemartins and fledglings being fed on top of our car was a delight and gorgeous views and sunsets. The surrounding areas really are beautiful and we only just scraped the surface during our week so another trip is being planned! Local shopping in Morpeth (about 10 miles away) is great - everything you need including the supermarkets. Lindisfarne was lovely but too busy but the quieter places such as Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Cresswell and Newton by the sea are fab! The latter especially for long dog walks along an unspoilt sandy beach.
