We had a fantastic holiday at Heughendon. The cottage was very clean. It has been the cleanest cottage we have stayed in. Well done keep up the good work. It was also well equipped , there was everything you need to enjoy your holiday. There was only a minor thing which would have made the holiday even better, if there could be some instructions for the dishwasher as we could not understand the programmes and which ever programme we put it on it seemed to take a long time. Instructions would be really useful and helpful. The location is wonderful as it is located by the river with brilliant walks for the dog. The location for the centre of Rothbury was really good with everything that you need virtually on your doorstep. With lovely shops, bakery and plenty of pubs/bars and restaurants. We will definitely be booking this cottage again.

Lovely house really comfortable and well equipped. We mistakenly left some of our belongings in the house and contacted the owners who have very kindly sent them back to us, for which we are truly grateful.
