Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and the welcome goodies were much appreciated. Local pub was a highlight with great food and friendly service. Cottage is in a great location for exploring Northumberland especially some of the Roman sites. Very minor but there weren't any dishwasher tablets so we had to buy some. Would definitely recommend as we really enjoyed our stay.

Cottage is in a pleasant and quiet location, pretty from the outside, and well situated for exploring the area, however in my experience unfortunately does not currently deserve a 4-star rating. On arrival I had great difficulty opening key press â black plastic button is stuck, and I had to ring the agent before leaving to ask what to do about returning keys as I couldnât open the press at all. Tiles on kitchen floor are cracked (at least 5), which give a very poor first impression. I did not find the property to be particularly clean on arrival â a basic requirement. Dirty and sticky finger prints covered all light switches, which I wiped off; fridge hadnât been properly cleaned inside, or insides of drawers where utensils etc are stored; fluff/grit had not been vacuumed off some areas on floors; and there were blood stains on white duvet cover and pillow case, and some of white towels were stained. Radiator in sitting room needs bleeding â sitting room is the coldest in the house, and without adequate central heating in there, using the log burner is currently essential All blinds downstairs need replacing â difficult to lower and particularly to raise, and they are all worn (small holes in them). There is also no blind for the bathroom window despite the WC being installed next to the window and I donât think textured glass provides enough privacy particularly at night! Stool cover in sitting room is stained. I didnât find cottage well equipped: only one small pan (2-handled pots with lids are not the same as a pan), and no frying pan; only one chopping board; no hair dryer Only 5 logs were provided for the stove (the small log basket was not even half full), no coal, less than half a pack of fire lighters, no kindling, and only a few matches. I chose the cottage because I wanted to use the stove so had to buy fuel etc. Personally, Iâd rather have had a basket of logs as a welcome pack, and for logs to have been provided on-site that I could pay extra for when required. No information was provided in the cottage about how equipment works, or about the local area, walks etc which would have been useful, just bins and check-out time.

. On arrival there was a gift of a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates, which was a nice touch.. The cottage is cosy, with all the amenities you could want. Really enjoyed our stay there. Have seen some previous reviews about cleanliness, was clean when we stayed. Would recommend..
