  We stayed for 3 nights in Magpie Cottage and it was brilliant.

  Cozy, comfy space, nicely decorated and well equipt. The washer & dryer is just a couple of doors along too if needed. Parking onsite is convenient and it was a lovely touch to have a local parking pass available to use as parking is free in the area if you display the pass. Paul and Jane were lovely hosts, super helpful and always available. It was a brilliant base to explore Northumberland with our pooch, we particularly loved the beaches at Blyth, Whitley Bay & Bamber. Duridge beach was also lovely when you get to it but the parking is on the verges on a small road. It was a small hassle though for the epically long beach and beautiful views. Duridge country park is also worth a visit. Morpeth was really nice too, lots of coffee shops, beautiful Carlisle Park and of course the fabulous Cheese Shop! All round great relaxing trip! The only reason we gave 2 slightly lower comments around facilities and accuracy of listing was just because the shop/pub was listed as 2.8 miles away and we thought we could walk to it and it may be helpful to note that this would be by car rather than walking (unless we missed a trick!) we would have loved to have taken the dog on a walk to the pub to stop for lunch and then walk back again but we could not find any paths to do that. This in no way hindered our experience or took away from the lovely cottage and it’s beautiful surroundings.

  Everything was perfect and tranquil for us and our two rescue dogs.

  We booked the property to get away from fireworks as where we live in Marske by the Sea we have two rugby clubs and two cricket clubs within two miles and they all have firework displays on different days. The accommodation was lovely and clean and there was an enclosed back garden so the dogs could go out there when needed. We were also impressed that the owners left us bacon, sausage, butter, eggs, bread buns and milk as well as tea bags and coffee. It was a thoughtful touch even though my wife had ordered a grocery delivery from Sainsburys to arrive an hour later. The driver wondered where he was heading but he knows next time. The location was superb lovely and remote, we could park and unload right outside and it was so quiet and we were fortunate to be blessed with sunshine most of the time too. We could come and go at our leisure and as National Trust members we found two places virtually on our doorstep (Wallington and Cragside near Rothbury) though we were limited to how much walking we could do due to a recent knee replacement operation. Amazing countryside with Rothbury and many other places not far away to visit. We will definitely be back in the future.

  We had a good feeling about The Old School room upon booking and, my word, we weren't disappointed.

  Where do I start - The building on this quiet little road, facing the walled vicarage has been around since 1751. We were situated in what was the old reading room. It was a joy to behold. Small, but big enough for the 2 of us and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Very well appointed for cooking (although we only had breakfast indoors), relaxation with many games stored away and topped off with Sky TV. The single beds were very comfortable aided and abetted with 2 fluffy pillows to sink into. We did a couple of walks from the doorstep and quenched our thirst and appetite at the Shoulder of Mutton, a must for Real Ale enthusiasts. The location is ideal for touring up and down the coast where we managed to concoct a few nice circular walks of varying distances. Morpeth, only 7 miles away, is a lovely clean & compact town with the Old Bakehouse off Newgate Street well worth a visit for a hearty lunch. It was our 4th visit to explore the beautiful Northumberland area and the The Old School Room will certainly feature in our plans.

  The property was just what we needed to rest and relax.

  It is so quiet, nestled in a lovely courtyard surrounded by horse paddocks. There are many places you can walk your dog around the site and can even say hello to the friendly horses who run to see you when you walk down the driveway. The house itself is perfect and so comfortable and cosy. It has everything you need and more with all the touches that make it feel like home. Everything has been thought of even down to dog towels and coffee pods for the coffee machine. The house is beautifully decorated and finished to a high quality. A lovely welcome hamper was left with a beautiful cake for us to enjoy. The hosts had thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. It is close to many of the sites of Northumberland and makes it a perfect base to explore. The hosts were really friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this property to stay especially if you want a rest from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

  Wow! What an amazing place!

  We booked a very very last minute 3 night stay for a family of 4 and a dog, we just needed some peace and quiet and to get away from it all, well it certainly did not disappoint! It's Soooooo peaceful, views for miles, amazing owners, best welcome pack we've ever received. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, super clean, gorgeous, comfy, lots of little touches that just make it wonderful. Lovely walks around the paddocks, the horses are very friendly and love to come up to you. If you want somewhere that's peaceful, with lovely views but close enough to explore Northumberland you won't go wrong booking here, really wish we could of stayed longer, very much hope to go back again
