Petty Knowes Cottage receives high praise for its comfort, stunning location, and the warm hospitality of hosts Joanne and Gordon. Guests appreciate the well-equipped cottage, the enclosed garden for pets, and the luxurious touch of a hot tub with beautiful views. The property offers a peaceful retreat with thoughtful touches, including a welcome hamper, though some guests noted minor issues with maintenance and the hot tub's location.
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean, with only a few mentioning a dog smell or the need for a deeper clean in certain areas. The majority of reviews, however, do not raise cleanliness as an issue, indicating a high standard overall.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and tranquil, ideal for a peaceful getaway and well-situated for exploring Northumberland. Some guests mentioned the proximity to walking routes and historical sites, although a few noted the remoteness in terms of shops and petrol stations.
Guests consistently report that the cottage is comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and a well-equipped setup. The presence of log fires and a snug adds to the comfort factor, although a couple of guests mentioned issues with heating during colder months.
While many guests are satisfied with the facilities, including the hot tub and fires, there are mixed comments about the maintenance of the hot tub and some minor issues with bathroom fixtures. Due to the lack of consistent detail on the overall maintenance of facilities, a precise score cannot be provided.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is highly commended, with numerous mentions of a welcome hamper and other kind gestures. It is noted that such gifts contribute to the overall experience, although they are not guaranteed and may vary.

It is however rustic in a stunning location. Arriving in the dark on a cold November evening to a cold cottage with a damp smelling bedroom was not the best start. It does not have central heating which can be controlled within the cottage ( itâs controlled by the owners and only comes on for a short time morning and night ). At this time of year if you donât work hard at keeping both the open fire and the log burner going youâll not be cozy. The hot tub has amazing views but has seen better days. Directions need to include âas you climb the field track the cottage is on the left after approx 400 metersâ we arrived at 5pm and it was pitch black, the house was not obvious. The hot tub has seen better days. Remove the word luxury, explain the different types of heating, expand the directions and this is a rustic cottage in a stunning location which is good value for money.

Nice and peaceful, beautiful property with personal touches throughout. Great for star watchers on a clear night with only sheep for company. Idyllic getaway. Just Perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay at Petty Knowes. The place was exactly what we wanted, welcoming, cosy and in a great location. Everything we needed was provided and more. Having use of the hot tub was also a real treat, especially on the clear nights, amazing! Also, the âGin Snugâ is a great little addition, very quaint. The hosts communicated well and were always on hand if needed, but it still felt like we had the place all to ourselves. Thank you.
