We had a wonderfully warm welcome by the owner in person who provided lots of extremely useful information about attractions etc. in the area. The property contains everything you could possibly need and there is plenty of available car parking at the front. It is just outside Longframlington and away from any other properties and roads. Couldn't image a better place to stay.

On arrival the cottage was spotless. A warm welcome from the owner, wine and cake was very much appreciated. The cottage is well equipped with everything needed for a lovely holiday. Our only concern was the mattress in the en-suite room isnât very comfortable. Also during our stay the Wi-Fi failed and couldnât be provided. The owners explained the issue to us as they were in the process of changing providers. Overall a lovely place to stay in a quiet setting.
