Guests that stayed at this property said
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate assessment.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and proximity to the countryside, including Hadrian's Wall country, making it ideal for guests seeking a rural retreat.
The cottage is described as cosy and private, with a wood burner that adds to the comfort. However, one review mentioned it can be chilly in the bedroom without the heater, suggesting room for slight improvement.
While guests mention the wood burner and the presence of space heaters, there is insufficient detail to fully assess the facilities and maintenance.
The hosts are noted for their responsiveness and helpfulness. No gifts are mentioned, so while the hosts appear considerate, it cannot be guaranteed that guests will receive gifts during their stay.

It was a perfect, remote place for us to stay over the new year to avoid the fireworks for our nervous dog. The fire was a perfect addition to make the cottage even cosier.

The cottage was decorated in a nice, simple way. It accommodated for our Springer spaniel. The wood burner was a big selling point for us, making it very cosy in the dark nights
