Guests say
Oak Tree Barn is a well-regarded cottage praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and quiet location. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and the homely feel, with comfortable beds and a cosy sitting room. The surrounding scenery is lovely, and the cottage is equipped with useful amenities like a washer, dryer, and dishwasher.
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean and cosy. However, one review mentioned a wet dog smell upon arrival and some cleanliness oversights, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is central for visiting local attractions, with easy access to the countryside for walking and cycling. It is also close to a wedding venue, although it's noted that the cottage is near a housing estate and public footpath.
Guests have reported the beds to be very comfortable, and the presence of two sofas with blankets adds to the overall comfort of the cottage. The quiet area contributes to a restful stay.
The cottage is well-equipped with essential appliances, but some guests experienced issues with hot water and water pressure. The organisation of storage space and the lack of a recycling bin were also noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Oak Tree Barn is a lovely barn conversion with bright and airy open-plan living accommodations and a cosy wood burner. This delightful, terraced, stone barn conversion is in the centre of Otterburn only 200 yards from the refurbished and highly acclaimed The William de Percy bar, which is dog friendly and has an excellent menu for both lunch and dinner.
Otterburn sits on the edge of the National Park in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is approximately 20 minutes from Kielder Water, and only a few miles from Hadrian’s Wall, as well as being very close to the local wedding venues Le Petit Chateau and Otterburn Hall. The village, once the site of the famous 1388 victory of the Scots over the English, nestles close to the banks of the River Rede between the hills and the moors overlooking the North Tyne Valley. With pretty walks and cycle routes from the door, as well as local fishing, horse riding, golf and a friendly village shop/tea room; this is a superb location for a relaxing holiday any time of the year.
The village was once the home of a busy weaving industry and houses Otterburn Mill, marking the village’s historic past and a great tourist stop-off for afternoon tea. Across from the small public footpath that runs along the front of the Barn, is an ideal grassed area for relaxing after a day of exploring. The location has easy access to the Northumberland coast with miles of unspoilt and uncrowded golden beaches and an outstanding coastline peppered with castles and friendly locals. The famous Alnwick Castle was used in the filming of Harry Potter and is only 26 miles away. In Alnwick, you can lunch in the famous Treehouse Restaurant, visit the enchanting water gardens or simply stroll the cobbled streets and soak up the history. Shop 400 yards, pub 200 yards.

The house was comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed for our holiday. Very comfortable bed.The location was very central for the places we wanted to visit and there are some nice pubs serving good food within a short drive. Not a lot in Otterburn itself but wasnt a problem for us. The local pub (Percy Arms) seemed to mainly cater for wedding parties and no comfy bar area, although other people had recommended the food there we favoured the Redesdale arms (3 miles from Otterburn) which was more casual.
