Everything was excellent & extremely comfortable; the property was very well furnished and equipped with all that is needed for an easy self catering holiday, either to use as a place to eat and sleep but also for those wanting to stay longer days in the property for a relaxing break. The close proximity of many visitor attractions is great. The hoRead moret tub was a real bonus. The only very small issue is with the traffic noise and vibration from the road very close to the end wall of "The Cottage". Hide

Lovely property, very clean. The hot tub was great for relaxing. Could do with a few more kitchen utensils eg jugs for use in microwave, but as we ate out most of the time not really an issue. Welcome pack was lovely with cheese and biscuits and milk. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would return if visiting yhe area again.

Spacious and comfortable bungalow that would easily accommodate 4 adults . There is some traffic noise from the adjacent road but you feel it rather than hear it. The town centre is not too far to walk into and Alnwick makes a good base for visiting the area.

Excellent property, very high spec and very well appointed. You have everything you need. The hot tub was brilliant after a long day hiking. Alnwick is only a 15 minute walk away and is full of nice cafes and pubs with meals, try the Dirty Dog and Melvins cafe, make sure you book the pub though especially at week ends.
