Fabulous location with great parking and Morpeth is a great base for a few days. Friendly re-arrival comms from the owner. Only disappointment was in the details. The properly was very clean and beds were great however one bedroom was not made up for us (managed to sort this) and there were no basics which you normally get - washing up liquid, dish sponge, dishwasher tablet, hand soap etc. easily brought from home if you know but required a quick dash to the shops. However would happily stay here again.

The parking space is ideal. The bed in the main bedroom is one of the most comfortable I've used. Shower is truely amazing- if you don't mind the mirror! However, the property is lacking what I would deem 'the basics'. No cleaning products: washing up liquid, dishcloth, kitchen roll teabags, only a few pumps of handwash etc etc. The advert doesn't claim to stock these however. Prepare to take everything. Also, a few oversights: broken glass in the cupboard, dirty cutlery in drawer, broken light bulb in lamp. The owner did send friendly emails prior to arrival and the entry arrangements were clear. Would stay again, but would be better prepared.
