The property is extremely well equipped. The owner has clearly taken trouble and answers any texts very quickly. The bedrooms, and lounge/dining area are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything but can be cold. The downstairs bathroom feels a little spartan and is approached along a corridor. That said, it was a fine stay and a very convenient location for the coast, National Park and the Scottish Borders. Recommended.

A great place for a family holiday. The cottage is equipped with everything you could need, the beds are comfortable, and the setting is amazing. Lots of places nearby to visit/discover. Would love to come back again. A wonderful holiday!

We had a lovely time in this cottage. It was very cosy but also spacious enough for our family of 4. The garden isn't really accessible and WiFi would have been useful for checking places etc but on the other hand it was a bit of a wake up for our teenager! I would definitely recommended this property and the area. Just lovely.

Property was very clean and tidy seemingly recently decorated with all the facilities we required. It is situated within a working farm, but was very peaceful and the wildlife in the surrounding countryside wonderful.

Not recommended for someone looking for 5 star luxury but we liked its simple rustic charms and the location. Despite it being August we got good use of the fire and even spent a rainy day in playing the games and watching one of the DVDs. Double mattress needs changing but Joanne says she’ll get a new one. Lots of things to do near(ish) by like Bamburgh beach, Holy Island, Berwick, walked into Etal over a ford, St Cuthbert’s cave. If you’re looking for a simple but well-equipped (especially the kitchen) cottage in a very rural spot, this might well be the one for you

We had a lovely stay at the cottage, and the communication with the owners was great all the way through! Very comfortable and spacious with everything we needed, which made our stay with our two young children a real pleasure. We loved the quiet location, and the kids enjoyed the farm setting and all it had to offer. A short drive away to some lovely villages, and a good base for exploring Northumberland in general. Highly recommended!

Lovely short stay in the cottage. We really enjoyed ourselves and the gorgeous countryside.

A perfect base for exploring the wonderful Northumberland countryside. The cottage is adequately stocked and is ideal for walking/cycling/running straight from the doorstep into the stunning countryside. Great for a family of five who enjoy the outdoors.

Had a great family holiday week - lots of lovely things to do right from the doorstep - and loved the peace and quiet and the swifts nesting in the eaves. Spit-spot clean and neat and lovely bedroom decor and furnishings. Kitchen really well equipped - and with picnic kit too! Really good to have a decent freezer, plus a dishwasher and washing machine on holiday. Made good use of the thoughtful walking books, bird-watching guides and maps - and the games in the cupboard! Only slight disappointment (hence 4 stars rather than 5) was that the lovely photos of the garden didn't show that you access the garden by going via the rear yard, round the neighbour's cottage and through their garden, so my vision of sunny summer evening drinks and maybe eating supper in the garden didn't feel practical. (Sure they wouldn't have minded, but it felt like a bit of a trek for eating outside). Thanks for a lovely week in your cottage - and all your help in our arrival. We had a great time.

Heerlijk huis, mooi ligging, vriendelijke, behulpzame buren. Ik miste een tuinset en een deur rechtstreeks naar de tuin maar anderzijds zijn we elke dag op pad gegaan dus niet een heel belangrijk gemis. Prachtige area!

The photos don't do the house justice. The lounge/ diner is spacious but cosy with a roaring fire that is easy to set. The bedrooms are all excellent. Autumn walks from the door take in Ford and Etal and Flodden Field. The College Valley is very close, with a remarkable solitude for somewhere so beautiful. You can walk high or stay low, there is a huge choice of unspoilt countryside. An evening walk to the pub, across the field and through the woods became a regular for us.

A great base for exploring Northumberland and the Borders, and getting away from the bustle down south. The cottage is comfortable, with spacious rooms and most mod cons (no wifi...). Excellent collection of OS maps for exploring. We avoided the tight parking by the cottage and parked instead ~20 yards up the lane with no problems. Pub within walking distance!

We had a lovely holiday in this charming cottage. It was so homely to come back to after our days out and sit by the open fire. The location is very peaceful. We were able to cycle with the children on the very quiet roads straight from the door. It is also well located for exploring North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. We especially enjoyed going to the Bluebell Inn for great food and real ale, just a short walk over the fields behind the cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our winter stay over New Year. The cottage was clean and tidy, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms. We all loved the location, easy to get to our favourite Northumberland haunts and also the chance to explore the Cheviots inland. Many thanks!

Een aangenaam en zeer sfeervol huis. Alles voortreffelijk verzorgd, schoon en compleet. Prachtig gelegen, uitzicht over de velden. Rust alom. Prima startpunt voor zowel de kust als het binnenland, inclusief Schotland. Op loopafstand gezellig en authentiek restaurant. Hier willen we nog wel eens terugkomen.

The newly refurbished cottage , freshly painted, newly carpeted with a smart new kitchen made a good base for our first holiday in Northumberland. We were pleasantly surprised with the range of games, dvds and cds available for those rainy days and cosy family evenings and a good number of maps and guide books were available for long walks and site seeing around this picturesque and peaceful part of the country. The cottage is well situated for easy access to the attractive Scottish Border towns and to Berwick-upon-Tweed , Lindisfarne and the beautiful sandy beaches and stunning coastline along the northern end of the county. We were pleased with our accommodation and its pastoral surroundings providing a peaceful and relaxing setting for our holiday.

We had a lovely stay in this characterful holiday cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and has comfortable beds and crisp linen. We found the cottage to be very well positioned for visiting all that Northumberland and the nearby Scottish Borders have to offer. We particularly enjoyed our trip to Floors Castle in Kelso, as well as visiting nearby Alnwick and the beautiful Northumberland Coast. Within a short walk there is also a pub serving great food. Highly recommended!

This is a perfect holiday cottage in a good location for exploring Northumberland and the Scottish borders. It has everything you could wish for and we particularly liked the lovely white bedding and towels. It is just off the A697 but sufficiently far away from the road to be very quiet and give an excellent night’s sleep. The owner was very helpful to us and also provided lots of maps and brochures of local attractions at the cottage. We would thoroughly recommend this property.
