Welcome food hamper in fridge on arrival . Great Location, in the Countryside about a mile from Alnwick . Comfy bed , the best shower. Owners are truly friendly and helpful. Spacious off road parking area . Highly recommended. We will return . Thank you for making our break so enjoyable .

What a wonderful, cosy and welcoming cottage Mossyford is. It has everything you need and more besides. The garden is a joy and overlooks the surrounding countryside,where you can sit and relax after a day out. Holly and Grant, the owners, are on hand to help if you need anything and they left a wonderful hamper of bakery items which lasted days. The cottage is only a couple of miles from the lovely town of Alnwick and easily accessible to other visitor attractions along the coast. This is a lovely cottage to stay in and would definitely stay again.

Nathan

Our stay was wonderful. The cottage is clean and most welcoming. It is well stocked and the bed is firm and comfy and the shower is the most powerful one we've ever used. Its fabulous after a long day of walking. The setting is amazing and the views are stunning. It is very peaceful. The host is a lovely person and very helpful should you need anything. The location is just on the edge of alnwick but ideal for going out to coastal areas or walking more inland. There are lots of options x

Fantastic base to explore Northumberland that has everything you need . ..lovely owners too who care that you have a great stay...so many lovely places in and around to visit...would not hesitate in recommending to anyone.

Deborah

An absolute gem! We loved the peace and tranquility of the setting sitting and enjoying the view from the garden. Holly and Grant went above and beyond in sourcing gluten free additions to the hamper which in itself was wonderful. The cottage is well placed for exploring the coast and we found some quiet, peaceful beaches within easy reach. Our first stay but not our last, thank you for a memorable holiday.

Holly and Grant made us feel very welcome. The cottage was lovely. It had everything we needed. The hamper they left was full of lovely goodies. The area has lots to see and do. It's the ideal location to visit the local area.

Wonderful stay at Mossyford. Everything we could have wanted was there. Amazing welcome basket which fed us well for a good couple of days. Perfect location for easily getting to all the places we wanted to visit. Holly was extremely welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend and would certainly visit again.

We stayed at Mossy Ford towards the end of March, the cottage is of a very high quality and we wanted for nothing. Its a lovely, comfy cottage in a great location only minutes from Alnwick. The owners Holly and Grant were on hand if needed and were very hospitable. We will certainly be staying there again and would highly recommend this cottage. The hamper was very much appreciated and the best one weve ever had. It was very relaxing there and a very quiet location ideal for our needs. Looking forward to returning.

Nicola

We couldn't recommend this delightful cottage more highly. Beautifully furnished and presented, generously provided for and the owner is so kind, helpful and welcoming it's the best holiday accommodation could wish for.

Timothy

Perfect quiet but accessible location for touring Alnwick and the Northumbria coast. Very clean, cosy cottage, well equipped for self catering with lovely welcome hamper. Will visit again in a different season and recommend to friends.

Darrill

What a lovely cottage to stay in. Very welcoming as soon as you went through the door. Warm and cosy. The owners Holly and Grant were on hand for any information and anything you wanted. The cottage is extremely well equipped I cannot think of anything you could want that wasnt there. The large tv was great and it had sky streaming which was great because at home we were thinking of having it and it gave us the opportunity to try it out. The welcome pack!!! Well what can I say it was brilliant kept us going for at least 3 days Thankyou so much was truly welcome. We purchased some hand made cards that Holly makes herself which are lovely and all the things she makes gives the cottage the homely feel. The cottage is a credit to them and even though it is next to the house you never felt as though they were there. Thankyou so much for our stay and we will be back.

Our cottage was lovely, it was very clean ,comfortable and well equipped. Good rural location just outside Alnwick.Holly the owner was very welcoming and helpful. While we rated the cottage highly Northumbrian Cottages were very poor their customer service has a lot to be desired.Its impossible to speak to someone on their phone line .There website is like going down a rabbit hole. It was only when we had the owners number could I get my issue resolved. Where as their Yorkshire Cottages counterpart answer has excellent customer service.

Mossyford Cottage is the hidden gem of the Northumberland Moors. The setting is spectacularly beautiful with ongoing views of fields and wildlife. The garden is pristine with so many features and choices of places to sit, relax, enjoy a bottle of wine and take in the surroundings. The cottage is finished to an extremely high degree. There are so many features included, from a vast choice of crockery, choices of games to play, Holly's craft work to appreciate and some items to purchase, an exceptional bathroom mirror and a wonderfully powerful shower to the dark star studded skies that can be enjoyed while you lay in bed. Holly and Grant are wonderful hosts and special people. Holly has perfectly mastered the balance of being available while leaving you to enjoy and relax into your holiday. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. Thank you so much Holly for the perfect holiday, love from Paul and Sarah xXx

Angela

Exceptional holiday home. Very generous arrival pack. Well equipped & maintained kitchen inc a Tassimo pod machine. Everything spotlessly clean. Good quality bedding & furnishings. Plenty of space & storage. Friendly helpful but non intrusive hosts who kindly securely stored our ebikes for us. Highly recommend.

Richard

All the 5 star reviews are correct excellent accommodation, facilities, location, host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mossyford Cottage. The hosts Holly and Grant went all out to make our stay comfortable and wanting for nothing. We were welcomed with a big basket of goodies for our stay and our dog Ralphie also got a treats goodie bag. The weather was changeable but that gave us chance to stay home a couple of nights and enjoy the facilities. The large TV had Netflix, Prime and 3D films to watch if wanted. Everything about the cottage and it's surroundings were beautiful. People everywhere we visited were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you to Holly and Grant Carole John and Ralphie

Christine

We had a fabulous stay at Mossyford Cottage. The accommodation was comfortable and larger than it appears in the photographs. A well equipped kitchen, with the addition of a very filling welcome pack, the relaxing lounge and bedroom were a real pleasure to return to each day. Although you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere, it cannot be emphasised enough how easy it is to get to the local attractions like Alnwick, Bamburgh and the outstanding Cragside. When we're next visiting the area, without hesitation, this is the place we will be staying.

This us a perfect place to stay. Alnwick with its amenities and attractions is 5mns drive away, Cragside probably the best NT property to visit in the country, 15mns drive the other way. The cottage is on the edge of Alnwick Moor so quiet, peaceful and in endless countryside. Holly, the owner is in the house across the yard. She is a lovely caring and kind lady who just wants you to enjoy yourselves and leaves you alone but if you need help or advice she is always available. The cottage is built of local stone and has everything and more that you would ever need. Modern coffee maker, huge fridge freezer, well equipped kitchen, washing machine, comfy sofa, huge TV with Internet services, very comfy bed and bathshower bathroom. It's spotlessly clean and perfect fir 2 people.

A great weeks holiday home. Everything we could have wished for,and a lovely position to visit this part of the country.

Gillian

Mossyford Cottage is a well equipped and very relaxing holiday retreat in beautiful Northumbrian countryside. The owners are just brilliant, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We had absolutely everything provided for us, its about the best equipped self catering accommodation weve stayed in over many years. The welcome hamper was just great and saw us through our first night. We would highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing holiday, though there are plenty of places to visit too.

We had a lovely stay at Mossyford Cottage. Holly provides everything you could possibly need including a very generous welcome hamper which was very much appreciated. In the cottage are examples of Hollys craft work, she is a very talented lady, also a very good host.

Lynette

A fabulous stay.

We had a lovely stay here. A perfect, quiet base to explore the area. The host, who lives next door, was welcoming and unobtrusive. Indeed we were glad of her being next door when we had a problem with our vehicle and needed some local knowledge to get things sorted. All in all a warm, clean, quiet spot, with lovely views. We would definitely recommend a stay here. We plan to go back next year.

Lovely cottage enjoyed our week. TV didnt always work well, but still enjoyed the break.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable holiday at Mossyford Cottage. The cottage was very well equipped and homely. Holly provided a great welcome basket which kept us going for several days!

Mossyford Cottage is exceptional! Everything that is required is provided, including a great welcome basket of food. The location, 3 miles outside Alnwick, is perfect for visiting Northumberland's many attractions. Holly and Grant are first class and generous hosts. Thanks for a lovely 2week stay. Laurie & Linda Denton

We have had an amazing holiday in Northumberland. The property is exceptional, clean and tidy, fantastic base to explore the area, and we definitely did that! Out and about every day and the weather was kind too. Holly and Grant we're really kind and welcoming, the hamper was truly relished after our days out. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage, thank you.

Very comfortable with everything needed for a fabulous holiday in the countryside but only 2 miles from Alnwick with its shops, pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions. Also near to lovely beaches, castles and super scenery....and Scotland!! Very quiet and peaceful. Slept like a log. Holly was kind, friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time. Many thanks.

How is it possible to beat perfection? This cottage is probably the best of all we have ever stayed in. Holly and Grant are brilliant hosts nothing is too much for them. The cottage is so homely with beautifully decorated rooms. There are many superb examples of Holly's skill in all aspects of crafting which adds to the charm of the cottage. There is nothing that is excluded from the equipment in the cottage. Everything has been thought of to ensure the holiday was so enjoyable. It was very difficult to say goodbye to this property, however we look forward to returning if and when there is a vacancy.

Lynette

Where to start. Absolutely everything taken care of ,every kitchen appliance you could possibly need. Personal touches all over . Comfortable ,warm and cosy. We were there the second week of February and were worried about being cold . We need not have worried ! Highly recommended ps enough food in the free hamper to last two days lol.

Superb cottage with excellent facilities. Holly has thought of everything including the lovely welcome hamper including for our dog. Highly recommended, one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in last 25 years.

Very comfortable property in an ideal location for coast and country. Nice and quiet but only a few minutes from Alnwick. Would recommend to friends and family.
