The cottage was very comfortable and hosts Colin and Linda were most welcoming, providing lots of useful information about the area. There are plenty of things to enjoy in this lovely part of Northumberland and a return visit to the cottage is planned for next year.

The owners Colin and Lillian were so helpful, hospitable and genuinely lovely people. The holiday home is tastefully done with everything you need. The garden area was a sun trap with sun all day. Lovely walking area.
