Pub is great . Just a couple of minor points that could make things perfect ; The frying pans were past their best and definitely not non stick , replacements would be an improvement especially at breakfast time . The Dishwasher is really small for a house designed for 8 people, although I understand space is limited . Small points , but would make a massive difference !

Plenty of room for 4 couples. Loved having 4 ensuites and plenty of hot water for everyone. Very dog friendly too. Outside space at rear very nice too.. a peaceful spot for a Northumberland break. Negatives. Dishwasher far too small for 8 people. Kitchen needs a few more bits and pieces such as a salad bowl, some more medium size food prep knives, a proper and bigger teapot and a tea cosy!! Front garden furniture should be right of door as currently it is filthy due to the house martin nests! No instructions I saw about recycling. No apparent green credentials.

The en suite accommodation is a real benefit when accommodating my family on our annual get together. An excellent location for access to Northumberlandâs beaches and rural amenities.
