The pint of milk, biscuits and some dog treats on arrival was a lovely touch, and much needed after a long drive! Thank you very much.

We may well be returning to Northumberland in a couple of years or so & will certainly look to use The Mistal again

The kitchen had everything you could possibly need! I have fallen in love with the area and will be back. My only negative involves the wheelie bins which were full when we arrived, were not emptied during the week long stay and then when we added our rubbish they became overfull. I know this is down to refuse collection and not the cottage owners, but still a smelly issue that could do with addressing.
