Beautiful cottage, very clean, very thoughtful touches. It is the best equipped house weve ever stayed in - even has sharp knives! Generous welcome hamper with wood and kindling included to begin with - the fire was even made up ready to light. Beds very comfortable. Amazing location with the peace and tranquility and beautiful drives everywhere weRead more went. I was even grateful for having bathroom cleaner spray and a cloth left in each bathroom as I like to clean in-between baths. We did not want for anything at all and will hopefully be back one day. We visited Bamburgh Castle, Farne Islands boat trip, Belsay Hall and Castle, Drake Stone walk, Hadrians Wall walk with Vindolanda Fort Museum, Alwinton Pub for a roast (classic 80s style plate of food - not normally our style but it filled a hole), Alnwick Castle, Lilidorei and Mumbai Indian food in Alnwick was tasty. The Star Inn is very lovely, friendly and the shop was super handy. Tesco found the house to deliver, as did Amazon!! Hide

The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Bedrooms were all large with good beds and comfy mattresses. Kitchen had everything you'd need, living space was large with plenty of seating for 6 people. House was generally very attractive and in a lovely, quiet village. Highly recommended!

The owners were really helpful - confirming that the car charger is type 2; the app to use is project ev. Instructions were easy to follow. House was very comfortable - we particularly enjoyed sitting on the verandah with the (provided) blankets to watch the birds (chaffinch, greenfinch, coal and blue tits) on the feeders.

Wonderfully laid out house that is decorated beautifully. The kitchen is the best I have seen - had everything you could need! The garden area was perfectly maintained and was lovely to sit out in the afternoon. Just a note for dog owners: the back wall is low and there are sheep nearby so we had to have our dog on the lead at all times as he is a Read morerunner. Lots of nice walks nearby (recommend Cragside - expensive but worth it!) Hide
