Guests say
Hartam House in Hexham, Northumberland, receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for exploring the local area. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, friendly village atmosphere, and the beautiful garden. The cottage is a hit with both human and canine visitors, offering a peaceful retreat with plenty of walks right from the doorstep. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Cleanliness
Reviewers consistently mention the property's exceptional cleanliness, with several noting it was very clean upon arrival. The attention to detail in this regard contributes significantly to the positive experiences of the guests.
Location
The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal for exploring Northumberland, with easy access to Kielder Water and forest walks. The village's friendly atmosphere and proximity to a local pub and tea rooms add to the appeal, although one review mentioned it being a bit remote for shops.
Comfort
Guests find the cottage spacious, cosy, and comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a warm atmosphere. However, a few guests noted the leather furniture was not to their liking, and one mentioned a drafty window, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities
The property is well-equipped according to guests, with a well-maintained kitchen and the inclusion of Netflix and a telescope. Some minor maintenance issues such as outdoor lights not working and a loose handrail were pointed out, but these do not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.
Thoughtfulness
Several guests mention thoughtful touches like a welcome bottle of prosecco and beautiful flowers, which contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. However, as these gifts are not consistently reported by all guests, it is important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
This attractive, detached cottage is situated in the pretty Northumberland village of Falstone, just a stone's throw away from Kielder Water & Forest Park. Beautifully appointed throughout and providing light and airy accommodation, this Falstone cottage is ideal for families and friends looking for a relaxing retreat where they can enjoy time together and explore the countryside. The front of this Northumberland cottage boasts stunning views of the surrounding forest and the North Tyne River after it exits Kielder Water. With lovely furnishings, this Falstone cottage provides three bedrooms and a beautifully fitted, modern kitchen, a great place to prepare home-cooked food before everyone gathers together in the dining room. The welcoming sitting room has a comfy leather sofa and chair, perfect to relax in after a day out walking or cycling. The gardens to the side of this Falstone cottage meander up past the stream and directly to a woodland cycle path, which leads into the Kielder Forest, Kielder dam and the Lakeland Way cycle route, all just a five minute ride away, plus only 150 yards from this holiday home is the North Tyne River, where fishing can be enjoyed (permit required). If all this sightseeing has increased your appetite, why not take a walk to the local pub or tea rooms in Falstone and sample some of the many delights on offer. With the Scottish border just eight miles away and the Heritage Coast and Hadrian's Wall just over an hour's drive, this Falstone cottage is in an ideal position for exploring this vast historic county.
Falstone is a delightful village, lying at the edge of Kielder Forest, Northern Europe’s largest forest and at the foot of Kielder Water which is the largest man-made lake in Northern Europe.
