Guests say
Hilly Brow is a cosy, well-located cottage in Chathill, ideal for exploring Northumberland and just a short walk from the beach. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, pet-friendly policy, and quiet cul-de-sac setting. While the property is generally clean and well-equipped, some guests noted areas for improvement such as minor maintenance issues, occasional cleaning lapses, and a lack of information packs. Overall, it offers good value for money and a relaxing base for a Northumberland holiday.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with comfortable beds and fresh towels. However, several reviews mention areas needing deeper cleaning, such as kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, and some crockery. Occasional reports of dust, crumbs, and pet hair suggest cleaning standards can be inconsistent.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the quiet area and proximity to the beach (just a 5-minute walk). The cottage is also convenient for exploring local shops and attractions, making it a standout feature.
Many guests found the beds comfortable and the house cosy, especially in colder weather. However, some reported discomfort with the double bed and sofas, and a few mentioned issues with curtains and early morning light. Overall, comfort is good but could be improved.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials and parking, but some guests noted maintenance issues such as loose decking, minor plumbing problems, and a lack of garden space for dogs. The absence of a dishwasher and occasional missing basics were also mentioned.
Some guests appreciated festive touches and soft towels, but several noted the lack of a welcome pack, local information, or basic supplies. While thoughtful gestures may be present at times, they are not guaranteed.

Kitchen utensils and crockery dirty when we arrived. On suite bathroom could have been cleaner. It would be helpful to have some basic instructions on how to use the heating and the wifi password in a welcome pack

Second time we have been here, the house is spot on, everything you need, comfortable beds, so got a good night's sleep.Weather was pretty cold, wet and wild, but the house is so cosy, it didn't matter, and being pet friendly is an absolute bonus, would definitely recommend and go back.
