    We had a fantastic holiday the property is emaculate and very homely. It is perfect location wise in Northumberland giving you a central base to Alnwick, Seahouses and Bamburgh. The kitchen is well stocked with all utensils and pots etc provided with the wood burning stove which came with some starter logs and firefighters which provided a great back drop to evening meals. The cottage came with Wifi, Smart TV, washer/dryer, Ironing equipment, and hair dryers in each room with a well equipped cleaning cupboard. We were provided with a bathroom and kitchen amenity pack that was a great touch when arriving without the essentials. Beyond the garden overlooks farmers fields with plenty of cattle which we loved and we did not find too noisy during the day/night. Would highly recommend and we would most definitely rebook.

  • Mr Harrison

    The cottage was as described, very clean and spacious with some quirky furniture. A good welcome pack and a folder with all the information you need. The odd friendly cow looking over the wall and really quiet at night and you can do a bit of star gazing through the glass roof. All in all a very pleasant stay and would certainly stay again.

  • Mr Templeman

    Not a bad place to stay if you do not mind the constant barking from the neighbours dogs or the drilling from the builders in the attached property. Disappointed that we were not advised about the building works.
