A beautiful quaint cottage set in a superb location at the top of the high street. It was very charming and relaxing. Kitchen was small but equipped with what you need. The bedrooms were a good size and the bed was so comfortable. We plan on staying there again.

Found this little gem online, Looking for a nice place to explore Northumberland as it was a place we have never been. We were not disappointed. The Snicket is a lovely little house, with comfortable open plan living, dinning, kitchen area , lovely log burner which due to the nice weather we did not need but i am sure it would be toasty in the autuRead moremn. The bed was nice and comfortable, and a nice shower in the bathroom. Rothbury Village is a nice place with good places to eat and drink. Hide

Great cottage. Quiet but really close to town. Beds in both rooms very comfortable. Nice furnishing. Excellent shower and WiFi. Kitchen is small but we cooked a few meals without problem, if you read the provided instructions for combined oven and microwave. The job is induction. Had all equipment we needed. Jane responded quickly to questions. StaRead moreirs were easy to climb with wide and shallow treads and good handrail which was excellent for the less mobile. Highly recommended. Hide
