A lovely, cosy, clean and well equipped cottage.
A lovely, cosy, clean and well equipped cottage. Conveniently located for walks in Cheviots or the many beautiful coastal villages.We watched lovely sunsets from the garden.As the cottage is very close to the road there was traffic noise - especially at commuter times, however this would not stop us from returning to this lovely cottage which is great value for money.Thank you to the owners.
The cottage was very clean, comfortable, value for money and had everything needed for a lovely holiday. The garden was reassuringly secure for a dog that was desperate but unsuccessful in her attempts to escape to chase the many rabbits.Thank you

A lovely little gem of a cottage.
A lovely little gem of a cottage. We had a lovely time on our first trip to Northumbria. The coastline is amazing with some of the best beaches ive visited. Alnwick is a great little town and not overpriced like the Lake district. We will be booking again.
A lovely spot for a few days away to relax and unwind. The property was clean and well-maintained and was a lovely base to explore beautiful Northumberland. The only downside was the noise from the adjacent busy road but it it did quieten down late evening. Would stay again
