  The Vault house is in a great location with all local amenities on your doorstep.

  The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and even our dog was treated. The property was spotless and the decor and furniture was of a high standard. The beds were very comfortable with good quality linen and pillows. The outside area was a great addition and fantastic for families, BBQ’s and guests with dogs. We have a couple of negative points being when we stayed the weather was very good and the property gets warm. The bedroom window opens up onto a gangway at the side of the house which we was not happy leaving it open while sleeping. A couple of fans in the property would probably resolve this issue. The last point was more of an inconvenience than a negative as the outside area cannot be accessed directly from the property so you have to go out the back door onto the side street to enter from the side gate. This meant locking up every time we went to the garden. Like I said it’s an inconvenience more than anything else. I would definitely recommend the Vault House to anyone looking for a relaxing break that is in a great location to explore the wonders of Northumberland.

  Lovely cottage and location with very spacious property.

  Well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms and sitting room with helpful folder on local attractions and facilities on site. As part of an old manor estate, there were some signs of aged plaster and decor that ought to be addressed over time. On the minus side the biggest issue was that in a cold March - it was not a warm propert. Whilst it did have central heating in all the rooms the radiator valves were preset and could not be changed so no independent control of the hearing. Unfortunately a few of the radiators including the main bedroom and lounge were in need of bleeding or degunging as the heat did not pass through them leaving the rooms cold. Whilst there was a lovely wood burning stove in the dining kitchen there was only one armchair in this room so this was the only independent source of heat. Also the free sat to or box in the lounge was not working so could not be used. Both unfortunately took away on the comfort and expectations score from what otherwise was a great cottage.

  Clean, comfortable, warm wee house. Lots of pots/pans, crockery, enough cutlery and basic utensils. Big comfortable beds and lots of good quality towels. Telly and Wi-Fi were both good though some instructions would have helped with the former. Friendly, helpful neighbours and lovely village. There was no drier which was disappointing as it was listed. We did not use the baths but the shower was plenty powerful and the water good and hot, though the shower screen was a bit short so as a result the bath-mat ended up a bit soggy. The enclosed front garden is a safe area for dogs and kids and would be a nice place to sit in the summer. We visited in an overcast week in January and felt that downstairs would benefit from some lamps or down lighters. Agent responded promptly when alerted to an issue with the bins not getting emptied. Hopefully that has been dealt with for future guests. We would recommend the property and the area. We would stay there again - a great wee holiday.

  The most stunning house and perfect for what we needed. We spent 5 nights here over Christmas and there was everything needed at the house to be able to do so. The whole place is decorated to such a high standard and the small village has a few pubs, a butchers, co-op & a couple of take aways. The closest big supermarket is around 30 minutes away in Hexham, we even got an Indian one night and the food was great. The baths were amazing, the shower was great and all the beds were comfortable. We just had 2 niggles 1. there is no outside lighting and given it's dog friendly we only had our phone torches to see after 4pm or before 8am. 2. there wasn't a 'dryer' there was a clothes horse but not a dryer as mentioned in the description which wouldn't have been suitable given the time of year. Outside of this the house was cosy, warm, and well equipped. It would be perfect for a girls trip or a family which we did as there is space for everyone to have their own space as well.

  A nice property, but some issues that could be easily addressed.

  The unusual room layout means that light from the kitchen floods in to the Vault bedroom due to a high window on the shared wall. Not good if you go to bed before others. Blackout blinds would help. The vault door itself lets through a surprising amount of sound, some carefully placed insulation would help here. The initial impression is of a decent level of cleanliness, but if you pull out a bedside unit to retrieve a dropped ring as I did this level does not extend far. This issue was apparent elsewhere in the house, a deep clean is needed. The dining chairs are in a poor condition, basically starting to fall apart. This needs attention, for safety reasons if nothing else. Although it didn't impact us, the radiators in the living room urgently need securing. The wall brackets for them have been incorrectly fitted and they would come away from the wall easily.
