We had a lovely week in The Stable. It was clean, well equipped and comfortable. There was a nest of house martins at the front door which we watched for hours. Highly recommend The Pheasant Inn for Sunday lunch, 5 minute drive away, food was very good and lovely surroundings. The cottage was well situated to explore Northumberland and cross the border to Scotland. Will definitely visit again.
