"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.

"The property was very clean and tidy it provided everything I needed for a relaxing week."
There was plenty of hand sanitizer around the cottage in this covid-19 world we live in. Please tell the owners it was one of the best holidays I have had in Britain and that was partly due to the cottage.

"A lovely stay once again at Victoria Cottage."
The conservatory is so peaceful and relaxing and a delight on a couple of days when the sun was shining through the conservatory windows. A secure garden for Lola the Cocker Spaniel to explore. Plenty of hot water too. A gem of a find in the peaceful village of Norham.

"We had a lovely stay at Victoria Cottage."
It was so spacious and comfortable. Our dogs loved the garden. We have booked to stay again. The only minor issue was that the listing says there is a tumble dryer but there isn't one.
Norham is a lovely village. Its a great base for exploring Northumberland and he Scottish borders. The Masons Arms is a good pub with nice food and friendly locals.

It is our 11th visit to the quaint village of Norham but our first staying here and it didn't disappoint. Very spacious cottage, we loved sitting in the spacious conservatory which looked out onto the enclosed garden, ideal for dogs! Wouldn't hesitate in rebooking again, first class!!!!

"Cosy and comfortable cottage that is spacious and well set out."
It is well equipped and practical but also homely. The garden was great for the dog. The village is quiet but handy for exploring the coast and the borders. Locals are very friendly and there is a pub, an excellent butchers, a convenience store and a bakery.

"Victoria Cottage was excellent."
Plenty of space especially the large conservatory at the rear of the property. The cottage was very well equipped and Beth our springer spaniel loved the garden and surrounding countryside. Walks alongside the River Tweed were a joy. We would love to return to this property and would highly recommend.

"This is a fantastic holiday home in a lovely scenic village."
The house had everything you needed and more.The garden was a joy and having two springers who love to explore this was just ideal. This cottage is really like home from home and had a lovely atmosphere, where you really could relax.We know the surrounding area very well and have visited almost yearly for thirty odd years but Norham is a really great place as you have coastline and countryside within a ten minute drive. So would recommend this little gem of a holiday home, and would add that the owners should be very proud of what they offer their guests.

"Great cottage, very well equipped with a lovely sunny garden."
The cottage is just down the hill from Norham Castle and the river Tweed is a stones throw. We all felt very at home in Victoria Cottage. It’s def one of the nicest cottages we’ve holidayed in

"Victoria Cottage is excellent in every way, as a base for travelling out in the north east."
The village is very peaceful and almost traffic-free, 'though lacking in places to have a good meal - the pub fare on offer is only average at best. Berwick & Coldstream have much more choice. Great spot from which to explore the magnificent beaches in this area.

"Lovely clean cottage with great facilities."
Very spacious, the photos don't do it justice. The garden was very tidy and well laid out, dog safe and fully fenced. The location in Norham was perfect for coast or country. Well serviced with a Pub, Butchers, Bakers and a village shop. Walk from the cottage across the road and you are one minute from the banks of the River Tweed. 10 minute drive to Berwick upon Tweed and then head South to the best of Northumberland's villages and beaches or head North to Scotland, Eyemouth and St Abbs. Fantastic holiday, will be booking again for next year

"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…..

"We all really enjoyed our 2 week stay at Victoria Cottage in Norham, Northumberland."
The village is so quiet, yet a hive of activity with a great convenience store with a friendly, helpful owner. The butchers is also fantastic and we enjoyed fillet steak and their homemade pies are delicious! Everyone in the village had a smile and good morning for you and it really made us feel at home. The village is kept clean and tidy, village green mowed twice while we were there - all in all a GEM of a place.
The cottage was all we could have expected and more. Comfy beds, clean on arrival. No problems at all and the garden was dog friendly - totally safe and soooo large Pippa had a great time playing on their massive lawn. We had a few communications with Vicky the owner and she always replied promptly and was extremely helpfull with all our queries. Goes without staying we are booking again for next year!

"Such a relaxing place to stay, with the castle on the doorstep and loads of dog walks nearby it was perfect."
We loved the conservatory and spent a lot of time there. Lovely little village, with a great pub and little shop with all the essentials. Really well equipped cottage with loads of space to stretch out and relax. We only wished we’d booked longer as the weekend went too quick.

Great village too with good pub and butchers/bakers. We would definitely think about booking again. Our only disappointment was that the cottage was advertised as having a BBQ which is one of the reasons we select places and we didn’t find it.
