Don't take our word, look what our guests say...
Townsend Family - September 2025 "It is a perfect situation away from the "honeypot" villages of the Northumberland coast but still close enough to enjoy them, and absolutely ideal for dog owners to be able to enjoy the Arboretum by walking from the door. Also walking distance from the coast path. Very comfortable, warm and thoughtfully furnished."
The Hook Family - September 2025 "Beautiful cottage with all the facilities required in very quiet location. Highly recommended."
The Nichols - August / September 2025 "The cottage was very comfortable, and the super king size bed so comfortable, slept well and loved waking up to the cows mooing and watching them from the bedroom window, waiting for the farmer to deliver their hay."
The Pountnay's - July 2025 "Wonderful location and our July visit coincided with cows with their calves and swallows flying all around for constant entertainment along with great local walks."
The Edneys - May 2025 "Fantastic cottage - brilliantly located, clean and well equipped. We would book again."
The Jones's - April / May 2025 "In a good location - not far from the coast, yet on a working farm. Very well equipped and comfortable. Lovely view from bedroom window. Any problems we had were dealt with very quickly. Anna, the housekeeper welcomed us as we arrived. Thank you."
