What our customers say about their holidays

• Christina - Verified booking

  A well-equipped country cottage with scenic views immediately across a country road from the village public house and restaurant called The Crown.

  (The Crown is only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and we took advantage of their menu, beer and wines. We would say to anyone thinking of holidaying at 'Skohaven' cottage in Catton, that the accommodation is comfortable and equipped with most utensils/items that would be needed for a holiday away from the "madding crowds" The Bathroom in particular has all anyone needs with bath and shower. The special gift by the owner of fresh farm eggs, biscuits, bread and milk was gratefully received by us. 'Skohaven' is located quite central to Carlisle in the West and Newcastle/Whitley Bay eastwards. Therefore we found it an easy journey both ways to visit various villages and towns such as Corbridge and then onto Houseteads Fort (Roman settlement) plus Hexham - a countryside town that has almost everything; both for shopping and sightseeing. Hexham Abbey is worth visiting and has it's own cafe .It retains it's own Country park which sits alongside the river Tyne. Southwards from Catton is Allendale Village (quaint but pubs only open Friday/Saturday. Hexham has many cafe's and restaurants to visit and it is only approximately 8 miles away. We visited Derwent Water Reservoir. All in all I would recommend 'Skohaven' cottage if you are wishing for a 'get-away-from-it-all' restful holiday. P.S. The locals are so kind, informative and helpful

  Lovely cottage in great location; well-equipped kitchen and luxurious bath as well as spacious walk-in shower all appreciated!

  Booking process very smooth. Parking in pub carpark opposite was very convenient: it *might* become trickier when pub reopens after refurbishment, though there is plenty of space. Only suggestion re cottage was that for summer, temperature setting for bathroom towel rail seemed rather high and made the room (and top floor) a bit too hot on arrival (settled down over time with open windows etc.). The Hexham-Allendale bus service was a bonus, stopping right by the cottage and allowing an easy trip into Allendale (and Hexham) as an alternative to taking the car. For those (like me) who don’t know the area, Allendale was a happy discovery: attractive village/town with an excellent independent co-op store, two pubs and a great café (The Forge, with art studios) - not to mention the unexpected delights of the small but fascinating Classic Sci-Fi museum! And Jill’s Catering Tea Room (Fri-Sun.) just up the road from Catton was lovely: delicious food, a stunning view south.

  Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

  This cottage has everything you could need for a comfortable stay to relax and unwind. It’s not often I return home and miss a bed and sofa that isn’t my own! The welcome pack on arrival was such a lovely touch. The cottage was clean and easy to keep warm. The sofa was so comfortable and cozy it was impossible to leave once on it. There are beautiful walks close by or not too far by car. The pub and co-op weren’t too far along in the next village. Would definitely book to stay again. The only issue if I was being really picky would be the parking, as you can’t really park outside the property without blocking a path. However, we rang the owners and they advised to park opposite the cottage and we were ok there for the week. We did park in the pub car park opposite too one night, which wasn’t an issue either. Again, thank you for a wonderful stay, it really did help with the January blues!

  The home was absolutely lovely and a lot bigger than expected!

  The welcome basket and starter pack for the fire were really unexpected and a lovely gesture to start off our holiday, although we didn’t get to take advantage of the fire as the property was warm enough. The bed was comfortable and the big sofa in the lounge was great! The only things that I want to mention which aren’t meant to be negative, more like constructive criticisms are; on the images of the property and in the description it mentions there is a tumble dryer, which there wasn’t and also there are images of a big fridge freezer, which there isn’t. Also, I found the knifes really blunt so I think it would be great if you supplied a knife sharpener? Like I’ve said, this is only being really nit picky as we loved our stay and would definitely return in the future :)

  We were delighted with this pretty and unique accommodation and in the standard of it all.

  It was warm, the bed with its beautiful bedding was SO comfy We slept like babies! We particularly liked the recently installed bath that has handles and a grab for the shower... Too many accommodation providers are installing trendy high sided baths that are not safe for so many visitors. Everything was gleaming clean. We liked the parking inside the gate and the pretty garden that was secure for our dog who enjoyed his daily walks nearby. The whole area has so much to offer with nearby coffee house and eateries... The owners are so welcoming and provided treats for both us and our dog so we have no hesitation in recommending!
