Guests say
Spindlestone cottage receives high praise for its peaceful countryside setting, spacious and exceptionally clean interiors, and welcoming hosts. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, comfortable beds, and convenient access to Northumberland’s attractions, including beaches and castles. The garden and surrounding nature add to the relaxing atmosphere. While the vast majority of feedback is positive, a very small number of guests noted minor issues with hot water and exterior tidiness. Overall, the property is highly recommended for a tranquil and enjoyable stay.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the cottage as spotlessly clean and the cleanest place they have stayed. Only one review mentioned a minor issue with exterior tidiness, but this did not detract from the overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The location is frequently praised for its peacefulness, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to local attractions such as beaches, castles, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Guests value the quiet setting and easy access to both nature and amenities.
Guests repeatedly mention the cottage’s comfort, including warm and cosy interiors, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. The tranquil environment and relaxing garden further enhance the sense of comfort.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with all necessary amenities provided. Facilities such as a welcome pack, well-stocked kitchen, and clear instructions are appreciated. One guest noted needing to request hot water, but this was an isolated comment.
Hosts are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Some guests mention thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack; however, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had a wonderful week's holiday. This is our second visit to these cottages, we stayed in Shepherdskirk last time. The photos on the website barely do it justice, both cottages are more spacious. As good as the cottages are it's the view from the relaxing garden that sells this property. Everything works great in the cottage and the instructions are nice and simple to follow. The hosts are friendly and easy to talk to.

Lovely cosy cottage in very peaceful surroundings. Great for a relaxing week. Rooms larger than they look on the photos. Very clean and well equipped. Short access to A1 to visit the popular places in this beautiful county. Hosts very friendly and on site. Both pubs in Lowick serve good food. Hope to stay again.
