Ms Kerr
This cottage was so comfortable and well appointed, kitchen equipment was excellent even down to a slow cooker so dinner would be ready on our return at night. You can sit on the door step watching the wild life including hares, and the 100's of house martins getting ready to leave for the sunshine. The garden is totally dog secure, you can leave them outside in the full knowledge they are safe.

The cottage was superbly clean when we arrived. Every appliance you could need was there and working. The location was perfect , on a "no through road" so was perfect for our two dogs to wander out of the front door.

Beautifully cottage in a sleepy hamlet. Extremely well equipped and comfortable with a lovely secluded back patio and walled garden. We stayed with small child and the house catered well for a family - safe and full of extras to make the holiday easy. Not far from stunning Bamburgh and the Northumberland coast. Only slight draw back were limited footpaths directly from the house, and close proximity to A1 meant we drove most places. However if you want a relaxed peaceful stay this is the place. Would absolutely stay again and recommend.
