Well equipped and spotless, though we found the settees aan mattress too soft for our liking. Rothbury is a great place to stay and ideally placed for exploring the wider area. Will definitely consider booking if we are visiting the area again.

We had a lovely stay in Heughendon. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. The location was great for the coast and also the inland towns. Rothbury itself is a sweet little town with good coffee and evening drinks.
