Faultless for those seeking a fairly remote break in a wonderful location. Very pleasant hosts. Extremely clean and very well equipped.

A real find: excellent, well-equipped, dog-friendly cottage in a super location. The cream tea and treats for the dogs awaiting our arrival were an unexpected bonus. A good heating system with a simple, responsive control - why cant all holiday cottages be like this! Excellent meals to be had at the Hunters Inn nearby.

I cannot recommend "The Cottage" too highly. The fixtures and equipment are 1st class; The beds are fabulously comfortable; The birds sing special songs.... and the quiet and repose of the whole valley is completely addictive.

Fantastic accommodation with comfortable beds and all utilities and utensils which could be needed. Loved the quiet location, providing easy access to numerous footpaths from the doorstep, and tourist attractions within a short drive.

The Cottage at the Old Farmhouse is situated in a wonderful position a short walk from a spectacular section of the coast path, and just above the beautiful Heddon Valley. And yet it is extremely peaceful and unspoilt. The cottage itself is very well equipped and comfortable, and particularly well set up for dog owners. The owners were very friendlRead morey and welcoming, and gave us some very good recommendations. All in all, an excellent place for a stay in a beautiful and unspoilt part of the country. Hide
