We had an absolutely wonderful time. The property is as described. It is lovely and quiet but lots of fab places are really accessible by car. The property was well spaced for 6 of us, it was very clean and had all the inventory we required - we mostly ate in. I think the property must have been empty immediately prior to us as it was really cold when we got there (Fully appreciate the weather has been really cold this week!) it took a good 24 hours to heat up properly, but once it was warm it was lovely. Not a complaint and as we were out and about it didn't bother us too much. I'd also suggest taking some toilet rolls as we ran out of the ones provided (again not a complaint, just info I find handy on reviews!) Would thoroughly recommend.

The location is quiet and beautiful with a distant view of Bamburgh Castle and surrounded by cows and sheep. I enjoyed waking early to see the hares too. Betony is warm and comfortable with a good bed and mattress in the main bedroom (we only used that bedroom so can't comment on the others). Both showers were effective too. We found the location very convenient for travelling around Northumberland. Betony really is a home from home.
