Francis
It is a perfect situation away from the "honeypot" villages of the Northumberland coast but still close enough to enjoy them, and absolutely ideal for dog owners to be able to enjoy the Arboretum by walking from the door. Also walking distance from the coast path. Very comfortable, warm and thoughtfully furnished.
Tracy Jane
Beautiful cottage with all the facilities required in very quiet location. Highly recommended.
Maureen
The cottage was very comfortable, and the super king size bed so comfortable, slept well and loved waking up to the cows mooing and watching them from the bedroom window, waiting for the farmer to deliver their hay.
Melanie
Peace and quiet in a beautiful cottage
Stephen
Wonderful location and our July visit coincided with cows with their calves and swallows flying all around for constant entertainment along with great local walks.
Clare
Fantastic cottage - brilliantly located, clean and well equipped. We would book again.
Angie
In a good location - not far from the coast, yet on a working farm. Very well equipped and comfortable. Lovely view from bedroom window. Any problems we had were dealt with very quickly. Anna, the housekeeper welcomed us as we arrived. Thank you.
Anne
Attractive cottage, very well equipped and furnished and very central for visiting places of interest, either by car or on foot. Would be lovely in spring to visit Arboretumâ??s azaleas and rhododendrons and gardens. Housekeeper (Anna) called on us and was very welcoming and helpful.

This is a fabulous cottage situated in an ideal location for exploring Northumberland. It was clean and comfortable and provided 2 couples loads of space for our week's stay. Everything about this place is quality from the crockery, cutlery, soft furnishings and fabulous king sized bath sheets to name but a few. The cottage is within easy access to Craster, Alnwick, Alnmouth, Seahouses and Bamburgh and Lindisfarne and many more places.. Definitely the place for us to stay in any future visits to Northumberland.
