Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently noted the property as clean, with one particularly fussy guest finding it up to their high standards. The property's cleanliness is a strong point, with no negative comments on this aspect.
The location is generally appreciated for its proximity to local amenities and attractions. Some guests expressed concern about the nearby A1, but also noted that it did not disturb their stay. The location is ideal for exploring Northumberland.
The property is lauded for its comfortable beds and ample space. However, some guests found the lounge furniture and downstairs seating less comfortable, and one mentioned an issue with bed lats. Overall, the property provides a comfortable stay.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings. Some guests suggested improvements regarding kitchenware condition and appliance capacity. Maintenance issues like a leaking radiator and the need for more oven space were mentioned.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

It is a beautiful property and was perfect for our family (3 adult siblings and their families) the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and bits like foil/ cling film. Oven gloves would be a handy addition. Also would benefit some storage/ hanging rail in the downstairs bedroom. Weâd have preferred it further from the road noise but were aware of this before we went and we got used to it. The opportunity to rent a hot tub was well received by our children.

It had everything we wanted, plenty of indoor and outdoor space and the ideal location for us. We had to contact the property managers as we couldn't locate the fuse board and we came home one day to find the electricity had gone off. They helped us immediately and we had it sorted within minutes of calling them. We cannot fault the property and are already looking to book to come back.
