Glanton is a little gem of a village that lies at the foot of the Cheviots and is in some of the most picturesque countryside that Northumberland has to offer. Glanton has a village store and a public house, but for a wider range of shops and other amenities, the busy town of Alnwick is only nine miles away. Alnwick is also famous for its Castle and gardens, which are well worth a visit.

Some nice touches to the property which was very well equipped and everything was of a good quality. Lovely area and lots to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but feel the hot hub should be advertised as not adjacent to the property and that you have to walk past the neighbouring house to get there. However once at the hot tub area it is private with a beautifully decorated summer house. The only other issue we had was getting woken up EVERY morning at 4.30am by a nearby cockeral which is the last thing you want on holiday!! However we do realise this is outwith your control.

The cottage itself was very well maintained and also very clean, with the added bonus of the hot tub. The location was good, a little further out from things but still very accessible by car, meaning that towns like Alnwick and even more coastal towns were a short drive away. Overall, would definitely recommend!

So clean and welcoming. A lovely hamper was left for ourselves and the pooches. The children enjoyed all the extra board games. The nice little thoughts of extra towels, fluffy blankets and a few provisions go to show how thoughtful people can be! Thank you for going that extra mile for our holiday!
