"Victoria cottage is a lovely detached holiday home in the village of Norham."
It had everything we needed for 4 adults and a dog, the conservatory was especially good and when in the property we spent most of our time in it. The kitchen had everything you need. All in all one of the best properties we have stayed in over the years.

"The cottage was fantastic location ."
Couple of small issues.
The wooden door near the front door by the kitchen needs attention as it doesn't open it gets stuck . Very vert hard to open this is why the handle came off. Which we did try to fix but wrong screwdriver.
The bedding in the second bedroom without the window could do with a update. Ours friend had the lovely bright room with fluffed pillows and quilt and nice covers. Ours where well worn and drab and grey. Only a small thing but didn't feel inviting . Pillows lost there support had neck ache.
Otherwise wonderful Booked again for May next year.

"The cottage is in a lovely friendly village."
Victoria cottage has everything you need for a self catering cottage holiday. Ideally situated for visiting the area.
There is a strong small of damp masked by air fresheners as you walk in the front door.
The steps into the garden are quite deep and steep and would benefit from a hand rail.
PLEASE be aware of the wood shed roof which is easily accessible from decking at top of steps, it can be easily stepped up on by adventurous children or dogs. Our dog did that and fell off onto the small picket fence causing serious wounds he had to undergo an emergency operation costing us £900 and a lot of stress and worry. Spoiling the holiday. We made Victoria, the owner aware of our concerns. Hopefully action will be taken to make this area safe for children and dogs.
In response to this customer who has visited Victoria Cottage previously, as animal lovers we were very sorry to hear about the dog having an accident. However, we cannot be held responsible for adventurous or out of control pets that climb onto roofs and jump over fences. As we don't want this to happen again, we have put safety measures in place. As a holiday cottage which has been active for over 5 years, we value and act upon customer feedback. Please consider 5 years worth of feedback when reading this. Thanks Vicky

"Very well equipped cottage including an air fryer (first one seen in a holiday cottage)."
Blessed by perfect weather and so used table and chairs at top of garden, although rather difficult to get to if you are old. The conservatory is a lovely addition and we spent much of our time there. Only minor complaint is the lack of hand hold in the shower which is essential for old people such as me! However, a splendid cottage in a lovely area.

"An ideal base for exploring this area."
Norham is a beautiful, peaceful village, with a variety of walking opportunities - perfect for dog owners. The cottage is clean and heating works efficiently. The living room and conservatory are both impressive and spacious, with one window framing Norham castle. Both bedrooms are smaller but adequate. The twin room is an internal room with no window. Various levels make the garden interesting, and so long as the side gate is bolted, it's totally enclosed for children or dogs. At night the castle is lit up and looks amazing from the upper garden. . We found inside and outdoors to be well equipped, although a floodlight for the garden would be useful on darker evenings. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and found plenty to do in this lovely region.

"A really comfortable and spacious cottage."
We stayed in the depths of winter in a very cold and frosty spell and the house remained beautifully warm at all times. We much enjoyed reading the suggestions book, it seems that some residents like to moan about just about everything! It must be a little disheartening when you have such a great property. I hope we improved the cottage by our stay and repaired a few of the little coat hooks in the hallway.

"Lovely cottage in the small beautiful village of Norham."
We arrived late Friday afternoon for our week stay in May and found the cottage bright and clean with much more space than appears in the photos. The kitchen had all the necessary items and work surface to prepare a packed lunch, make a simple meal and the essential cuppa. We enjoyed our breakfast sitting in the conservatory watching the birds in the back garden, which also gets the morning sun, so is a bright room to be in. On an evening, after walking all day we relaxed in the living room which has a cracking view through the side window of Norham castle, which sits on the hill.The shower was adequate and the bed was comfortable. Great cottage for a couple and their dog.

"This was our second visit to this cottage and we have booked to go again next year - it is always spotlessly clean on arrival."
We love it as it has a completely enclosed garden which makes life very easy with the dog and the village of Norham is great, lovely pub, shop, butchers and bakers and locals very friendly. The conservatory was perfect in the weather this time and the cottage is well furnished. Our only negative point would be that we (and other guests) have made suggestions around simple additions to the kitchen equipment which would be low cost but would make a big difference and these haven’t been acted upon. We also really appreciate the provision of a BBQ, something which has been withdrawn at this cottage. This wouldn’t stop us using this cottage but it would be beneficial to not have to take own BBQ, cafetière and large pan! Though we purchased a pan and left it there this time…..
