Loved our stay!

This cottage is immaculate, quite large but still very welcoming and cosy, the quality of the furnishings is lovely and everything has been put together with a great deal of thought. Ideally situated in the centre of hhe village with 3 pubs and a co op close by, and handy for all the sights you could wish to visit. Communication with the owners was spot on, many thanks for a lovely stay!

We had a wonderful timeat this lovely, spacious property. It was the best equipped of all the holiday/short stay lets we have stayed in. We used it as a base to do many miles of the Northumberland coast path. Chilling with a cold beer on the rooftop garden after a hard day’s walking was really amazing.

Good Location for exploring.

Enjoyed our stay. Perfect location for exploring Northumberland. The roof terrace was a bonus although we didn’t manage to use it much due to the weather. The welcome pack and milk in the fridge was a lovely extra. The cottage was very well equipped with many extra kitchen essentials.
