Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, with only a few mentioning minor cleanliness issues that were easily rectified. The presence of fresh flowers and a welcome pack suggests good overall hygiene standards.
The cottage's location is highly praised for being quiet and secluded yet conveniently close to major attractions and the A1, making it an ideal base for exploring Northumberland.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the log burner. However, some noted that space could be limited for larger groups and that the spiral staircase might be challenging for some.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary amenities and a welcome pack. However, several reviews mentioned issues with the shower and bathroom facilities, indicating a need for maintenance and upgrades.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of welcome packs and local information. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The door to the conservatory was also affected in the same way The whole house smelt of stale cigarette smoke and a foisty dampness. The garden was delightful. it was peaceful and full of beautiful birds. Overall, it was very comfortable with all amenities plus unexpected extras, for which we thank you.
