The only sound you hear is birdsong. Equipped with everything you need. The log burners were very welcome on the cold rainy days. Dark skys in the hot tub are an absolute must!

Welcome pack appreciated Loved the hot tub in the snowy weather and cosy fires.We couldn't ask for more. Fantastic stay. Our tip for future guests is bring suitable footwear for walking to the hot tub as there is a gravel path.

The cottage adjoins the owner's residence and it quite easy to find with being just off the main road that runs to the Scottish border (which is about 9 miles further on). The cottage was lovely and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. There are so many places to visit in the surrounding areas. Rochester is only an hour away by car to Newcastle or Gateshead Metro Centre, and an hour and a half to Edinburgh! If you want to stay more local , Otterburn nearby has some nice places to eat and a well stocked convenience store for bits and bobs. Our tip: Bring suitable footwear and leave the manolos at home. Staying over winter meant the ground was muddy when opening and closing the gate to leave or come back to the property. We expected this and brought our boots but better not to be caught out. Thank you Joanne and Gordon for a lovely stay.
