A lovely cottage, beautifully presented and spotless, very warm and comfortable, despite the unseasonably cold weather. It is ideally located for both the coastal attractions and further inland, we were able to visit places we hadn't been to before such as Vindolanda, Chillingham Castle and Wallington. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Beautiful, clean, well equipped cottage. We had a wonderful holiday. Our only criticism is it would benefit from a king size quilt or two separate quilts in the downstairs bedroom and a couple of side tables next to the sofas.

Cottage is very pretty and comfortable.Rothbury is a good location for exploring the area, particularly Cragside.The cottage is up a very steep hill and the walks from the cottage are accessed via an even steeper rocky path. There are nice walks along the river in the town.It would have been better for us if the dining area had chairs rather than stools but otherwise good.
