  We have visited Netherraw for three years running however, sadly this will be the last time.

  As a positive if you want isolation and great night skies and walks on your doorstep, Netherraw is perfect. There is hardly any noise, so you can hear the wildlife all around you. The upstairs bedrooms now have hangers for your clothes and ample drawer space. Sadly, the negatives we found were numerous. The shower basin easily flooded and water spilled over on to the floor. The only way to avoid this was to turn the shower on get wet, turn the shower off, lather up and then rinse off. Which isn't what you expect to do. This was raised last year when we came, but nothing has been done, in fact it is worse. The extractor fan isn't strong enough to cope with the steam in the shower room, so we had to leave the door open for it to escape. Not ideal but thankfully there was only the two of us. The toilet seat in the shower room, the laminate is cracked underneath and looks like it would soon start to peel off. The hot tube was part of the attraction of going to Netherraw, especially after long walks. On the second day we removed the hot tubs cover only to find that the headrests were damaged through wear and tear, their coverings were cracked and in some places none existent exposing the foam/cushioning underneath - so we decided not to use it. The overall feeling for us was that through usage the cottage just needs a bit of TLC.

  Our stay at The Heronry has been bliss.

  We can't recommend this cottage enough! We've had such an amazing 5 nights here. We love it and quite honestly... We don't want to go home. The family who run the cottage are genuinely lovely. The proeprly itself is perfect. Clean, spacious, private and the view over the beck, especially in the hot tub is awesome. Can't beat it. Jumping in the hot bath in the morning, looking over the beck is also quite awspiring. At this time of year, we've spotted the heron fly along the beck at approx 8:30am, whilst sat in the hot tub. Up until now we have spent most of our holidays at Kielder Waterside, and The Heronry beats Kielder, by a mile. So we will be booking again, in advance. Without a doubt. The location of the cottage is also very convenient. It's close to Kielder, Lake District and Solway Coast. There's local shops, a couple of miles away, among take aways and cafes, easily accessible by car. However there's a cracking Indians who deliver for free. I could rant on about how amazing our time here has been. Thank you. Its exactly what we've needed. We will be back! See you soon!

  This place is brilliant!

  Photos listed don't do the place justice. Lovely welcome from Danielle, Trevor and the dogs. Property was warm and clean, very homely- fresh brownies and a complimentary bottle of fizz on arrival. Very spacious accommodation with beautiful views onto the brook. Lots of bird and wildlife to watch. Hosts always willing to help and even offered us a lift back from Longtown following our walk. Would recommend the riverside walk suggested in the accommodation guide- lovely walk along the river to Longtown (nearest pubs and shops)- we would recommend the Chinese and the Gretna Bakery- both serve excellent food.The Heronry is ideally situated for walkers/cyclists with many trails and walkways nearby- we would recommend Newcastleton for both walkers and cyclists. The hot tub was very welcoming after a long days walk, perfectly situated in a private patio area with exceptional views of the brook and surrounding trees, a beautiful place to sit and relax. 10/10 would definitely stay again!

  The place is beautiful, absolutely stunning in fact.

  The kitchen is amply stocked with equipment, the welcome tea and coffee were very well received after our long journey. We had a problem with the electric blinds that had not been charged before we arrived, and they didn't have the charger at the main house which meant one of the blinds was constantly down, which was a shame. There was also a rather large leak from the bedroom window, which meant we had to keep towels on the floor. Other than that, it was wonderful, and we were assured the roof was in the process of being fixed anyway. The bed is very soft and there is no phone reception. There are some lovely walks not far which we thoroughly enjoyed, with lots of pheasants! The hot tub was great (and appeared clean), surprisingly no one seemed to walk through the woods, so it really is secluded. There was an impressive night for stargazing from the hot tub, we saw a couple of shooting stars, very nice. They supplied us with flip flops which is a superb touch.

  Such a peaceful cottage.

  Enormous windows brought the outside into all of the rooms! Listening to the birdsong and the brook from the (immaculately clean) hot tub was so relaxing after a day exploring in the local area. Easy to access so many lovely places - Hadrian’s Wall, Kielder Forest and the local walk to the River Esk. The food at the Hidden River Cafe was delicious and a riverside walk through Shank Woods an added bonus. The reservoir walk at Castle Carrock was special - we rounded it off with Sunday lunch at The Duke of Cumberland - it was so good that we returned for their beef pie later in the week! Thanks to Danielle and Michelle for a warm welcome and for being there in an unobtrusive way. Good luck with the barn project too.
