Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as 'spotlessly clean'. This suggests a very high standard of hygiene and care.
The location is described as peaceful, tranquil, and perfect for exploring local historic sites and countryside. Its proximity to amenities and dog-friendly pubs adds to its appeal.
The cottage is generally seen as comfortable, with a comfy bed and well-equipped for self-catering. However, some guests found the seating not ideal for disabled or older people, and there were comments about the need for longer central heating times.
Facilities are deemed spot on, with ample parking and self-catering equipment. However, there are several mentions of issues with heating and shower temperature control, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
Guests appreciated the welcome gifts, including fresh eggs and treats for both guests and pets, which added a personal touch to their stay. While these gifts are warmly mentioned, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

A great place to explore Northumberland would definitely like to go again but for a bit longer stay Lovely studio apartment warm and cosy when the heating was on and there was an electric heater to use if necessary, also an electric towel rail Would have liked a bit more heating in the bathroom and instructions how to use the shower properly as it went from red hot to icey cold Well fitted out accommodation Owners had left a much appreciated gift of fresh eggs chocolate and cider when I arrived

However, I couldnât have chosen better. The cottage is situated on the Northumberland/Scottish border making it a perfect base to explore the local historic sites and some of our nationâs most beautiful countryside. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped for self catering (including a dishwasher). On arrival I was welcomed with a bottle of wine a some yummy treats for both myself and my two dogs. The coach house complex is surrounded by free range chickens, sheep and rolling field making is quiet and peaceful. There are two local pubs one about 250 metres down the road, the second (The Black Bull) around 4 km away in the quaint village of Etal; both of which are dog friendly and serve reasonably priced food. My only criticism is that it was virtually impossible to regulate the water temperature of the shower; notwithstanding, I would definitely recommend this cottage and would not hesitate staying here again. It was exceptional value for money. However, next time Iâll make sure I take my telescope to make the most of the dark sky overhead.
