  Thank you so much for the most amazing stay at River Cottage.

  We stayed as a family of 3, 2 adults and a child age 7. The owner met us to give us the keys and show us around he was a lovely man and was happy to answer any questions we had. The cottage is over 3 floors, ground floor with entrance lobby, garage and utility space with washer, dryer & ironing facility’s. 1st floor with landing, double bedroom, twin bedroom both with wall mounted TVs and the family bathroom. 2nd floor is the living dining and Kitchen area. On the 2nd floor you have the floor to ceiling windows with a beautiful view overlooking the River. There is sky TV at the property and a great WI-FI connection that covers you on all 3 floors. The property has everything you will need for your stay and more. Location you couldn’t get any better as you are in the heart of Morpeth itself with the shop, restaurants, takeaways, bars and not forgetting Carlisle Park on your doorstep. If you want to go further a field then you are also approx 5 minute drive to the A1 with the whole of Northumberland to explore. Personal recommendations: Morpeth Tandoor takeaway an award winning takeaway and when you take the food you will understand why they have won so many awards. Nikos Taverna bringing Greece to Morpeth the food is delicious & the staff are so friendly then finally the auction house bar for their out of this world biscotti cocktails. Overall we loved our time at River Cottage and would definitely stay there again.

  River Cottage is extremely well placed, being tucked away just off the main street in Morpeth.

  It's only a four minute walk to the main shopping arcade and there are also plenty and varied eating places within a short walking distance. For anyone who likes curries there is the Morpeth Tandoori within 100 yards of the cottage and it serves really outstandingly good Indian food. The cottage itself has recently been completely renovated to a very high standard and is well equipped throughout with a spacious kitchen area with every facility that one could want. There is a similarly well appointed bath/shower room. All furniture throughout the cottage is new and of a good quality and the owner has clearly given thought to every need that the visitor might have. The internal garage is an added bonus and is clean, well lit and spacious and opened by an electric roller door, allowing parking with great security. Morpeth is an excellent location in Northumbria and we were able to access all of the many attractions, both near and far, with ease. River Cottage was a major factor in our having a truly memorable holiday in Northumbria and we would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending it.

  River Cottage is located close to the shopping centre.

  Despite the pandemic all of the shops seem to be thriving. It was is a three minute walk to Marks and Spencer so we were able to stock up with food. Morrisons and Lidl are also located in the town. There are a number of beautiful walks to be had from the cottage; we enjoyed walking along the banks of the River Wansbeck and through Carlisle Park. Lots of history on the doorstep. River Cottage is well appointed and is quite luxurious and had everything we needed. There was bottle of wine, fruit juice, chocolates, milk and fresh flowers provided the owner, Abdul, as a welcome which was much appreciated. Abdul greeted us warmly and is very helpful and friendly person. He owns and runs the Morpeth Tandoori take away close by. We enjoyed some delicious meals from there. The ground floor comprises a garage with a utility area. The garage was large enough to accommodate our Volkswagen Passat Estate Car with careful manoeuvring. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

  Perfect place to stay for our little break away. Me and my partner travelled up on Friday afternoon and arrived at 830pm, the hot tub was warm and ready to use which was perfect after the long drive. We were met by angharad on arrival, she walked us through how to do the hot tub and keep warm, gave us a quick tour of where to find everything and even looked at things to do whilst in North wales, we had already planned our trip based on doing the zip wire however the thought was there and couldn't fault her offer to help. The pod was in the farm field with the most beautiful view and luckily we had a clear weekend which was great for looking at the stars. Inside was a small selection of snacks a bottle of prosecco and some eggs, a lovely touch. The pod was warm and cleaned to a very high standard. Asked for assistance in doing the fire the next evening and angharad came over to assist getting the fire properly burning. Perfect stay will definately return. Diolch

  Fantastic property with beautiful views over the river through the full length window, lovely to sit with a morning coffee looking out whilst you wake up.

  Garage was a little tricky but we could just fit our Dacia Duster in, this was a big plus for us. Easy to get in and out of town and only 30 seconds walk from the best pub in town (The Office), 30 seconds from the Morpeth Tandoori (highly recommended) and a minute from the High St with all the shops, bars and restaurants. A great base to explore Northumberland from, the bus station was a 5 minute walk if you didn't want to drive. Lovely furnishings, very clean, comfortable beds, high spec, everything you would need plus a very nice and helpful landlord Abdul. I almost didn't choose this property because it said the main bed was a double (I even rang Sykes who confirmed this) but it is a king size bed (my preference) so this needs updating! We are planning a return visit next year, so that says it all.
