  • "The cottage was very cosy and had everything you needed for a relaxing stay."

    The area around Powburn is great for walking and is near to hills and the coast, so is ideally placed to explore. Powburn has a petrol station which also has a well stocked shop for any of those last minute items. Overall a really nice place to stay.

  • "Lovely property ideally located for many sights and days out."

    Russell was very friendly and helpful, recommending Alnwick Gardens which became our daughter's favourite day. Lots of thought has gone into a recent redecoration of the house and there was a much appreciated welcome pack. Would stay again.

  • "It is a beautiful property set in a very small quiet village."

    The property is very clean, and beautifully decorated with lots of thought into the theme of the design, and a lovely seating area in the back garden; the property is very comfortable and is in a very quiet area. The property has a spacious bathroom with a very comfortable bed and we would stay again for sure. Very accessible to Newcastle, Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne, and other great scenic areas. We even visited Beamish Live Museum which was only 59 minutes from this location and is worth visiting. We really enjoyed our stay here. 5 stars !

  • "Unfortunately there was an overpowering smell from the oil boiler."

    It permeated the whole home. I did let the owner know and he has responded. Also the Internet network didn't connect, there was no hair dryer (which I assumed would be there as they always are in other holiday homes). Overall the standard was lower than I am used to and I take UK holidays twice yearly staying in often cheaper but much higher standard houses/cottages.

    Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry you feel the standard at Ramblers Cottage is lower than you are used to. We have since reviewed the property after your departure and can confirm that the internet is working without issue and the hairdryer is still at the property, I'm sorry you weren't able to locate this during your stay; had we known of any issues, we would have happily looked into these for you. The smell of oil you reported may have been due to the central heating being turned up higher than usual but again, this has been checked and is working as it should. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Property Owner
