  • Kathleen

    Host is such a lovely lady who added such thoughtful touches to make us feel at home.

  • Roland

    Nice and quiet with very friendly hosts. Very well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Exactly what I needed so will be using this place again when I’m in the area. The Wi-Fi is a bit poor and phone signal is quite bad but the hosts did say they would look into the Wi-Fi. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting peace and quiet.

    Owners very helpful. Only problem, gates were all difficult to open and close. Good food at The Swan just down the road. Good walking from the door. Efficient bus service to Newcastle and Hexham runs past the door.
