Guests that stayed at this property said
Several reviews mention a lack of cleanliness, including findings of rubbish, unclean kitchenware, and dust. Despite some guests cleaning up themselves, the overall impression suggests a need for better cleaning standards.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent for walking and proximity to Hadrian's Wall and the village. However, some guests noted traffic noise and parking challenges.
Guests found the cottage spacious with hot water for showers, but comfort was compromised by issues like a poor mattress and seating arrangements. Traffic noise was also a concern for some.
Facilities received mixed reviews, with some appliances described as antiquated or in need of cleaning. The lack of Wi-Fi and the condition of cookware were also noted.
There is no mention of gifts or extra touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, therefore this category cannot be scored.

Parking was good (previous review said it was a problem for a large car but I had no difficulty albeit my car is quite large bigger than an estate) you just need to either reverse in or out and drive down the lane to turn around. Very pleased that the landlord didn't have many rules, obviously wants you to enjoy and relax. Best recommendation is I would stay here again for a relaxing time while walking the Wall.

We stayed here as we were working at an event in Kielder. The cottage met our needs perfectly. One tiny thing was we couldnât get the TV working properly but that might have just been us.

Parking at the back is tight if you have a big car but there is good parking just a little further down the lane. I would recommend this cottage for a stay and will use it again.
