Spotless property with great views and large front garden which is enclosed. Two minutes walk to centre of Rothbury (bit longer back up the hill)!

Confirmed Guest
Absolutely lovely! 4 adults and one dog, and we were all well catered for and very comfortable. We very much appreciated our stay at Highbury. Rothbury is a lovely town with some good walks and places for sitting and reflecting. The centre has good restaurants & cafes, bakers, butcher, art gallery and an excellent wool shop and of course Cragside is on the doorstep. The owner was helpful and responded to my message quickly.

Fantastic little cottage perfect for 5 us and 2 dogs. Great views over Rothbury. Secure large garden. Cottage had everything we needed.Near to all attractions, Bamburgh Castle is about 45 minutes away.Nice touches in the cottage, including dog bed and blankets and coffee machine. Extremely comfy beds and bedding,Cottage finished to a high spec.Only downside is it took some finding, the street name being have covered didnt help, could do with signage on the gate.Overall a great family getaway for 5 nights.5 🌟
