But it was a lovely base for us to visit Alnwick Castle and The Poisoned Gardens. Thank you

However the mattresses were all quite springy/noisy and uncomfortable, and as we were busy during the days we needed to rest well. If the mattresses were replaced this would be the perfect stay!

Bathroom and beds really good. Easy parking outside of the house. Rothbury centre a short walk downhill. Added attraction in the cosy conservatory.
