A lovely, warm cottage. It has a nice feeling. The hot tub felt a little awkward, being in the owner's garden. But it didn't stop the boys! Well situated for the A1, and subsequently all areas of interest.

Lovely welcome by the owners and clear communication prior to our stay. The only thing that I would say was we didnt use the hot tub, it is located in the owners garden and we didnt feel comfortable using it although they did say we had sole use and they were super friendly and welcoming it just wasnt for us. Location great for getting to beaches, Read morewe had some lovely walks and Morpeth town close by also. Hide
