Wow what a little gem of a cottage. A perfect peaceful getaway with a herd of Alpacas for company. The cottage is set in the owners grounds with a long driveway and two sets of gates to open and close. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly want for a perfect stay. The decor and furniture compliment the sympathetic restorations that the owners have achieved which is a credit to them. Bright and airy, a cracking shower and an extremely comfortable bed set on a mezzanine with a balcony. We had one of the most scenic and relaxing stays and would highly recommend. Would definitely stay again

What a little gem we found. Warm welcome from David and Caroline. It suited us being quiet and peaceful with good views and watching the alpacas and abundance of swallows flying around. As you are a mile down the old railway track there isnt a shop next door, but supplies can be found not too far away in Falstone, around Kielder and Bellingham. As for the property it has been converted to a very high standard. It is well equipped, lovely shower and high quality bedding
