    Every comfort you could possibly want. The welcome goodies were much appreciated. Great location to walk to the town and also explore all the surrounding area. Would be happy to book again.

  • Johanna

    Although the cleanliness was ok there was some clumps of fluff on the stairs, dirt around the window frames and dusty bedside lamps. It would have been better if we could open the upstairs bedroom windows.Also the shower tray is deadly slippery.

  • Shirley

    Good base for exploring Northumberland. Cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped and so good to be able to take our dog as well.
