Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the house as immaculately clean, well-kept, and tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes positively to their stay.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as perfect, with easy access to local amenities, pubs, and takeaways, as well as being an excellent base for walks and exploring the surrounding areas of Northumberland and Scotland.
The majority of guests find the house comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy sitting room, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms. A few minor comments about wardrobe space and noise from the stairs are noted but do not detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and good bathrooms. Some guests suggest minor improvements and maintenance, but these do not significantly impact the overall experience.
While guests express gratitude for the welcome pack and the owner's helpfulness, there is insufficient information to determine if gifts are a regular occurrence. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gestures are provided with every stay.

The kitchen had everything we needed to make big family meals each day. The house was exceptionally warm and we didnât need the fire lit in February! The house is well Located with shops and for us a local EV point for our electric car. Location great, beautiful walks right on your door step . We loved it, and would definately come back and recommend to others.

A bigger cooker would be helpful when there are 10 of you but everything else was fine.
