We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the bungalow, in the small village of Horsley, we felt right at home. The owner was very helpful when we needed her. Wild Deer and Rabbits entering the garden regularly. Excellent stay, close to Hexham and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Nice quiet comfortable bungalow. Good size and comfy for what we needed. Welcome pack of milk, biscuits, tea a nice touch. Location lovely, nice village and accommodation very quiet considering so close to A69. Driveway entrance very tight. Outside of property very dark when coming back at night as porch light has to be turned on from inside property. Directions provided could be improved as we arrived from the opposite direction and at night so took us a while to find and driving up and down a couple of times.
