Had a lovely week here, cottage was really clean and spacious. Seemed freshly decorated and lovely and warm and comfy.Would not recommend for dogs though as not secure. Gaps around gate and wall not very high. Our spaniel had no trouble jumping the wall. Also no stair gate to keep dogs from going up stairs as you come through the front door which is the only way in .small gated area is very in even and could easily twist your ankles.

Very well appointed property.The cooker hood needs attention, the light won't stay on and the extractor only works on the top setting.Beyond this, nice to haves would be a sound bar to compliment the very good sitting room tv, and a freestanding bathroom shower powered by local water pressure and the house boiler. That said, even as it stands, it's a lovely base for an holiday. The provisional of a bottle of wine, milk , tea , sugar etc was a lovely touch by the owners. We would definitely stay there again!!!

Great wee house. Close to the village for shops and eateries, but very quiet and peaceful. In a great place for exploring Northumberland.
