We had a lovely stay in this cosy and comfortable cottage. We were near to the lakes, Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. It was every bit as peaceful as I had hoped. Everything inside the cottage was well considered and functioned as expected. Would definitely stay again.
Really clean, modern cottage with everything you need for a great stay.

Could have done with some j cloths for the kitchen and the bathrooms to keep them clean. Also some kindling for the first night would have been helpful.
An improvement that would have suited us is a shelter for bikes, and something to lock them to.
