The property is very well maintained and extremely clean. The facilities and comfort are second to none. We have stayed in many self catering cottages over the years but I think this is the nicest we have stayed in, and at an extremely competitive price. The owner even took the time to come and say hi, and reasure us he was there if we needed anything. The location gave us walking access to Hexham, Chesters Fort and the Roman wall. We had a fantastic holiday. Thank you.

The elephant in the room of course is the road only a few metres away, with constant and heavy quarry lorries passing by. You get used to this to some extent, but maybe not if you're a light sleeper.

Friendly and helpful host. First class internet in spite of remote area. We hope to go back again next year.
