Guests that stayed at this property said
While many guests found the property to be immaculate and well-presented, there were several mentions of cleanliness issues such as dirty kitchen floors, cobwebs, and unwashed utensils. These indicate that while generally satisfactory, there is room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to historical sites, local walks, and a welcoming village with a pub and shop. It offers a quiet, rural setting that is still convenient for exploring Northumberland's attractions.
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the house warm, with ample seating and space for relaxation. However, some guests mentioned that certain mattresses were tired and needed replacement, slightly affecting the overall comfort experience.
The property is well-equipped with a good selection of games, a pool table, and a well-stocked kitchen. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as malfunctioning smoke alarms and appliances, which suggest that while facilities are generally good, attention to maintenance is needed.
Guests have appreciated the thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket and the provision of local information. These gestures contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, although it should be noted that such gifts are offered at the owner's discretion and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

The fridge and freezer are old and perhaps need replacing but do the job adequately. Beds are really comfortable. We used the small summerhouse for two early morning listening to the many birds singing their hearts out!

Two minor complaints. We felt the mattresses were a bit tired and need replacing to ensure a good nights sleep. We were a family of six and did not feel the crockery and cutlery was sufficient. All other equipment in the kitchen was excellent. There is an unpleasant smell in the utility room. Otherwise a beautiful property and we loved staying there.

We had everything we needed and the complimentary basket of food was a bonus. I would definitely return and the Village was full of friendly people.
