  • Beverley

    Well equipped apartment. Would be happy to recommend.

  • Lorraine

    Very clean and ample space for couple, only things I would change is maybe an upgrade to a smart tv and also some extra t-towels would have been useful.

    We enjoyed our stay here and it is in a good location for exploring Rothbury. There is a fair bit of noise from outside as it’s only single glazed, which might bother some people, but it didn’t spoil our stay. The bar below was noisiest at the weekend not surprisingly but was usually quiet just after 10.30pm and didn’t cause us any problems. The freeview signal was awful and could really do with being a smart tv. The immersion heater didn’t work and I reported it to the owner but nothing was done during our stay. It was ok seeing as we had an electric shower and just boiled a kettle to wash up. Overall it was a pleasant place to stay
