Booked last minute so appreciate being put up at short notice! It's in a really good location and off the main road so quite quiet. Right in the centre of Morpeth so amazing to walk around and get a morning coffee and park walk. Bathroom was amazing, bed very comfy. Missing a few essentials but nothing a quick Morrisons shop can't handle. Heating wRead moreas very appreciated. Overall, I had a great time for the price. Hide

The cottage is in a great location and Morpeth is a great town with lovely walks by the river plenty of shops and good places to eat the cottage is beautifully designed and decorated the bed is very comfortable and the TV is good. There was no bluetooth speakers and several maintenance issues. We spent time cleaning mould from the fridge and burntRead more food from the grill. Parking can be an issue there was no parking permit and there was no spaces on the road all week. I recommend reading up on the parking places in Morpeth before you go there are plenty free 24 hour car parks with no return for 4 hours; by the end of the week it was working well for us. We had a good time. Hide

Luckily we hadn't booked this accomodation for a 'holiday'. It was a bed for a week whilst waiting to move to our new home. Kitchen not very well eqipped and the house felt cold. On a positive note the bed was very comfortable and the area quiet. Good dog walking straight put to the park & riverside. Very handy for town centre shops , cafes, restauRead morerants & bars. Morpeth is a lovely town . Hide

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was clean and well presented with everything we required. It is very well located to enjoy the lovely town of Morpeth but was still peaceful for relaxation. All in all just what we wanted.

Great location and a nice little cottage but there are problems here that I have reported. We didnt have a parking pass for the whole duration of our stay despite reporting it as soon as we got there which caused us issues. If the owner sorts out the cleanliness, toilet flush, fridge temperature, leaking shower etc then its a great place to stay.

Very disappointed with general cleanliness - cobwebs everywhere, dirty cutlery, filthy pillows, badly stained carpet. Garden not enclosed. It was infact a thorough fare for others living in the surrounding houses. Living room much darker than shown on website. Only one small window, requiring lights to be used throughout the day. Unfortunately woulRead mored not recommend! Hide

This is in a great location, Morpeth is a beautiful and very friendly place. Parking was very limited but there is a large free car park about 5 minutes walk from the cottage.

We had a great stay, the location was perfect for exploring the Northumbrian coast. You are on the doorstep almost for all Morpeth has to offer which for a small town is a lot. A lovely well maintained house, would recommend it and if we go up that way would stay again. Rob & Linda
