The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience for visiting North Northumberland. One review mentioned a long drive from home as a potential drawback, but this is more about personal convenience than the location itself.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and homely. A couple of minor points were raised about mattress softness and dining table comfort, but overall, the sentiment is very positive.
