Comfortable cottage in pretty village. Good contact with owner. Cottage was not as clean as we would have liked. Previous visitors had forgotten bread and cake in the bread bin which was all mouldy! Cobwebs in the kitchen over the clock had been mentioned by a previous visitor in May, and were still there on our arrival. Kitchen worktops were dirty and needed cleaning. Carpets needed a good hoover all through the cottage. Dead insects were seen on some window sills and areas near skirting boards needed a good clean, particularly in the lounge. We cleaned the areas we used, like in the kitchen, but not others. Bathroom was clean, with a good selection of towels and shower was efficient. Everywhere was well equipped - kitchen and lounge. Bed in main bedroom was huge - however in our opinion, needed a new mattress. We were left a welcome basket of scones, home made jam, biscuits and milk, plus coffee bags, hot chocolate sachets and tea, which was gratefully received. Local shops met all our needs, although the corner shop was eye-wateringly expensive. Fabulous cakes and snacks in another, with a small cafe attached. The Quiche Lorraine slices were gorgeous. To conclude, we had an amazing week visiting places all around the county, and were comfortable in the cottage.

Although the double bed is huge and inviting is also uncomfortable. Also the tin opener did not work we had to buy a new one from the corner shop at great expense (£1.99) . The settees are uncomfortable as well. On the whole we had great time and will be back to Northumberland again somewhere!!!
