Lovely house.
Lovely house. Beautifully decorated. It worked well for us as a family (3 couples). Kitchen was well stocked with equipment so we were able to cook and enjoy eating together in the lovely dining room. Hot tub was a great addition.

Amazing house.
Amazing house. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday.Stunning accommodation best I have ever stopped in. Great secure garden for your dog. Lovely hot tub and views. Perfect for a peaceful stay. About 12 miles from Newcastle. About 4 mile drive to the nearest shop and about 1 1/2 miles to a pub. Few pubs in the village of Wylam for food and drink. Also in Wylam a Chinese takeaway and a local co-op. Would highly recommend if you want a peaceful holiday.
