  We spent a weekend at "The Stang Hideaway" in August, for a relaxing 3-night stay with my partner and our little dog.

  The views were gorgeous, and the location was as peaceful as a library on a snowy day. But there were a few surprises that gave us a good laugh! First off, the wine cooler was ice-cold—unlike the fridge, which was warm enough to double as a sauna . If you’re planning to brew some coffee, don't forget to bring your own coffee pods; the same goes for dishwasher tablets as there was non available and the free washing up liquid was limited to a very small bottle (use sparingly). The "fully equipped" kitchen was a bit like a game of culinary hide-and-seek, with basic items playing hard to get. And if you’re using the breakfast bar or that “sumptuous” sofa, be prepared to get very close to your partner—like, "hope-you-really-love-each-other" close, perfect if your on a romantic break! Now, let’s talk Wi-Fi. Remember the days of dial-up internet? If you’re feeling nostalgic, you’re in luck—this Wi-Fi will take you right back to the 90s with its charmingly slow speeds which can cause the TV to frequently show the circle of death when it tries to catch up, perhaps it was intentional to create a romantic atmosphere. The outside decking is lovely, but it could use a gate to be truly dog-friendly. And don't be surprised if you step outside to find a crowd in the treehouse—it’s open to everyone on the park, so you might end up with an audience for your morning coffee or romantic sunset. All in all, it was clean and the tranquility was delightful, the stay didn’t quite match up to the price given there’s a lot of competition in the area. Here’s hoping for some improvements in the future, but hey, we still enjoyed the peace and quiet and lovely views!

  Everything was perfect and tranquil for us and our two rescue dogs.

  We booked the property to get away from fireworks as where we live in Marske by the Sea we have two rugby clubs and two cricket clubs within two miles and they all have firework displays on different days. The accommodation was lovely and clean and there was an enclosed back garden so the dogs could go out there when needed. We were also impressed that the owners left us bacon, sausage, butter, eggs, bread buns and milk as well as tea bags and coffee. It was a thoughtful touch even though my wife had ordered a grocery delivery from Sainsburys to arrive an hour later. The driver wondered where he was heading but he knows next time. The location was superb lovely and remote, we could park and unload right outside and it was so quiet and we were fortunate to be blessed with sunshine most of the time too. We could come and go at our leisure and as National Trust members we found two places virtually on our doorstep (Wallington and Cragside near Rothbury) though we were limited to how much walking we could do due to a recent knee replacement operation. Amazing countryside with Rothbury and many other places not far away to visit. We will definitely be back in the future.

  The property was just what we needed to rest and relax.

  It is so quiet, nestled in a lovely courtyard surrounded by horse paddocks. There are many places you can walk your dog around the site and can even say hello to the friendly horses who run to see you when you walk down the driveway. The house itself is perfect and so comfortable and cosy. It has everything you need and more with all the touches that make it feel like home. Everything has been thought of even down to dog towels and coffee pods for the coffee machine. The house is beautifully decorated and finished to a high quality. A lovely welcome hamper was left with a beautiful cake for us to enjoy. The hosts had thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. It is close to many of the sites of Northumberland and makes it a perfect base to explore. The hosts were really friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this property to stay especially if you want a rest from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

  The property is beautiful and very clean!

  !! The bathroom is gorgeous and the bathtub is a key feature. I loved having the bathroom door open to the outside overlooking the wheat field while soaking in the tub. Bed was very comfortable. Only a couple of things that need a little work. The owners would benefit from staying, cooking and cleaning there for a few days as there are some essentials missing such as dishcloths, dish rack to dry dishes, dish washer tablets and we may have needed more than one roll of loo roll. It didn’t hinder our stay too much, but it lost a bit of that luxury feel someone has worked hard to make. The other thing is, the photos are a little deceptive and don’t show you are attached to a caravan park at the back. It’s still secluded and very quite but attached to a caravan park that appears to hold people’s mobile caravans. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend but would encourage the owners to look at little essentials.

  Lovely cottage in a great location.

  Having 3 en-suite bedrooms worked really well for 3 couples to celebrate new year. All the bedrooms were spacious and had good storage. The shower in the twin room is compact but was fine for the shorter couple in the group. Great size kitchen that had just about everything we needed. Some of the crockery and wine glasses were a bit or a mismatch and would benefit from being updated. Living room was also spacious and had plenty of room on comfy sofas and chair to accommodate everyone. Didn’t use the garden as it was winter, but would have been a great space in warmer weather and looked ideal for anyone with a dog. Great location for getting out and about to Durham and the coast and locally for walks. Used both pubs in the village and both did what we needed. Glendenning arms good for a post walk drink and the travellers rest was great for dinner. Would recommend both.
