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 itâs only single glazed, which might bother some people, but it didnât spoil our stay. The bar below was noisiest at the weekend not surprisingly but was usually quiet just after 10.30pm and didnât cause us any problems. The freeview signal was awful and could really do with being a smart tv. The immersion heater didnât 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
