Lovely characterful house. Really well equipped. Friendly helpful owners. Nine of us (6 adults, 1 teen, 2 children) enjoyed a family holiday at this spacious and comfortable house. Location was great for us - you can walk from the door into the fabulous Northumberland countryside. It’s a drive to the shops but Jedburgh & Bellingham are within easy reach. Would be very happy to revisit.
