    An absolutely beautiful property, immaculately clean with so many added touches that make the property an outstanding choice.The welcome pack that we received was the best we’ve experienced including chilled Prosecco and a mouthwatering home made cake. Everything was absolutely perfect and the hosts were so kind when I had a problem with the bathroom sink. I cannot praise the hosts or their lovely property enough. Thank you so much for a very special long weekend.

    Beautiful holiday home cannot fault a thing and the views are amazing. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The welcome basket and homemade cake were delicious. We went to Cragside, Bamburgh Castle, Beamish Museum, Chillingham Castle, Seahouses and Allen Banks which was a beautiful walk along the gorge. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here and I hope we will return one day.
