Absolutely perfect, the place is gorgeous and smells amazing. Everything was very well kept, clean and tidy. The bed was okay maybe a little springy but very snug, The hot tub is also a massive plus, there are garden lights you need to manually switch on which we did on the second night and it was so lovely. The only downside fall I would say is we wished there were bathrobes and slippers for getting in and out the hot tub. Part from that we will absolutely be back!

The Bunker is in a great location and the hot tub is a welcome treat after a day walking, however the hot tub does need a little TLC as there were bit missing or coming off.Twice Brewed pub is well worth a visit as is the Sill. Local area is simply beautiful so go out and explore. The property itself had everything you need but again just a couple of things that need attention.The heated towel rail is scorching and we both got burnt, one of us quite badly. The shower tray is slippy, be careful and the TVs buffer constantly making it impossible to watch anything....good job the views are worth watching.

The Bunker was beautiful. Nicely laid out. The view from the bedroom was lovely. The bedroom is on the same level as the kitchen and bathroom. We went downstairs to the TV room (bunker) when we first arrived to have a look but didn't go down there again, there was no need. If you want to watch TV of an evening there's one in the bedroom (along with the view outside). There a breakfast bar in the kitchen to have meals at. The weather wasn't great (thanks to storm Amy!!) but sitting on the bed watching the storm blow by was memorizing. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. It was lovely to go out for a walk and come back and relax in the hot tub. There's a pub just 5 mins away that looks lovely (we didn't go in). Main shopping for food (and wine!!) was in Hexham. The hamper left for us at the property (prosecco and crisps) was a nice touch. Bed was comfy. The garden was well looked after and enclosed (good for our dog) over all the property was cosy and clean. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. One word of warning the radiator in the bathroom gets extremely hot (I mean hot hot, it's a chrome towel radiator) I did catch myself on it and it was painful!
