We loved our stay at Cheviot View. It's ideally located, very close to Alnwick. It was bigger than we'd imagined, and although another reviewer is right about there not being a dishwasher, we otherwise found it exceeded expectations. The garden was sizeable, with outstanding views. Our children loved feeding the pigs our crusts every morning, and they loved watching all the farm machinery and animals as they came and went. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A lovely farm cottage with great views. We thought it needed a dishwasher with perhaps a little TLC. A perfect location. We fed the pigs and nuzzled the horses (there are many on the farm) ideal for a holiday near to Alnwick yet out in rural Northumberland
