It had everything you need and well situated for travelling around area. The train noise is a disadvantage but they didn't run overnight. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage especially to dog owners as it was pet friendly although we didn't have one.
Lorraine
Not many trains run overnight so they didn't disturb us too much.
Janet
Spotlessly clean with everything we could need and the kitchen was excellent. Front garden secure so dogs were happy. Great base to visit all the wonderful beaches and castles. Our first visit to Northumberland but definitely not our last! Thank you!
