The accommodation is comfy, cosy and has everything we need, and having parking spaces in the heart of Corbridge is a huge advantage. So much to see and do, whether coast or countryside, and John has many recommendations for visits and places to eat.

It's perfectly situated with parking, which is a bonus. The apartment is fabulous, lots of space and very well equipped. The host is very amiable and informative of Corbridge and what it offers.

We enjoyed our stay, thank you! This would be a good property for a car free holiday with the rail station nearby and a bus stop right outside the property. Our only issue was the parking : the description says off road parking for 3 cars. In reality parking is accessed via a narrow lane (which our car only just cleared) and the 3 spaces also appear to be used by the businesses occupying the ground floor of the building so there's no guarantee there'll be a space available when you need it. We used the paid on street parking at times. A clear notice identifying a dedicated parking space for the flat might help.
