Snaptrip says
Heron Cottage in Northumberland receives praise for its cleanliness, warm atmosphere, and friendly owners. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and the property's proximity to local attractions. While some find the cottage cosy and well-equipped, others note it can feel cramped for larger families and mention issues with water pressure and shared garden maintenance. The cottage's charm and location make it a popular choice for a peaceful retreat.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests have reported the cottage to be very clean, with only a few isolated comments about garden maintenance affecting the overall impression.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for exploring Northumberland, with easy access to Morpeth and local sites. Some guests, however, have mentioned a lack of privacy due to proximity to other properties.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the setting tranquil, contributing to a restful stay. However, some guests have noted the living space to be smaller than expected, particularly for families, and have mentioned worn furniture.
The cottage is generally seen as well-equipped, but there are several mentions of low water pressure, unreliable internet, and a lack of certain kitchen amenities. Shared facilities like the washing machine have also been a point of contention for some.
While some guests have been delighted by welcome packs with wine and biscuits, there are not enough references to consistently evaluate the thoughtfulness of the hosts across all reviews. As such, while these gestures are appreciated, they should not be expected.

Had a fantastic stay, the cottage was great, everything you could ever need for a stay was there, it was clean and well furnished, the bed was great and comfortable, the whole cottage had a quality feel to it, loved the little touches like the bottle of wine, biscuits and the use of a parking permit when visiting Morpeth, location is good and very peaceful yet only a few minutes from the A1, we will definitely be booking it again, and would recommend it to anyone, certainly a little gem
