Harsondale Bothy in Hexham is praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the friendly farm dog, and the helpful owners. While some mention challenges with the staircase and the size of the garden, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment in a beautiful countryside setting.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-kept, with multiple reviews highlighting its exceptional cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its fantastic views and proximity to nature and urban facilities, although one review mentioned a misleading representation of the garden size.
The Bothy is frequently referred to as cosy and comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed. However, one guest found the staircase challenging, which suggests that comfort may vary depending on individual needs.
Facilities are generally praised, but there is a suggestion for additional amenities such as a sweeping brush and washing machine for longer stays.
While guests mention a friendly farm dog and helpful owners, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.
