The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal for exploring Northumberland, Hadrian's Wall, and nearby Newcastle. Its countryside setting and proximity to local amenities contribute to its appeal, despite occasional traffic concerns.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the good heating system, cosy log fire, and comfortable beds. The spaciousness and warmth of the cottage, even in cold weather, are also commended.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern appliances and essentials, though there are some remarks about the need for more crockery and cutlery, and minor issues with plumbing and Wi-Fi signal strength.

Nice and quiet with very friendly hosts. Very well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Exactly what I needed so will be using this place again when Iâm in the area. The Wi-Fi is a bit poor and phone signal is quite bad but the hosts did say they would look into the Wi-Fi. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting peace and quiet.
