  We (a couple) spent a long weekend exploring Northumberland and used the Granary as our base.

  Our arrival was easy with good comms in advance on what to expect. The owners were lovely and checked in a few times to ensure we had everything we needed, despite being busy with lambing season! The Granary is on a working farm so be prepared for animals, but it made the location more endearing for us. The location is at the end of an off-road track - bit bumpy in a regular car but ok if you drive slowly - and Rothbury village can be reached on foot in under 15 minutes. The Granary itself is located on the first floor and there's a stunning view over the hills from the living room. You'll find a double bed in the front of the cottage and two singles further back, and a dividing screen is available if you want to close the two areas off from each other. The kitchen had everything you might need for eating in, and the wine and fresh eggs from the farm were a nice surprise on arrival. In the bathroom, the shower was great (temperature and pressure) although if you're quite tall, the angle of the ceiling may make it a little tight. We had a few chilly days but the central heating was very effective and the log burner created a cosy evening atmosphere! We'd definitely recommend the Granary. It worked for us as a couple and is especially perfect for those that need a base for walking or those that like the outdoor life. It would also be good for those with young children simply for being on a farm and the chance to meet the animals.

  We’ve had a lovely week’s stay in Eden Dale, Framlington.

  The cottage itself is well furnished, plenty of seating and very comfortable beds. It was clean and well cared for. We had everything we needed for the week and it provided a great base to explore the area. We were worried about parking initially but this was no problem, even with 2 cars. One thing to note is that the road is very busy and lorries and farm machinery pass frequently. This wasn’t a problem for us at night and it didn’t affect our sleep. The dog treats and towels mentioned in the info pack were not available (we didn’t need them but worth mentioning as we looked everywhere)! The yard is a great little space and the dogs did wee and poo in it - it would be useful to provide a hose on the outside tap just to wash anything away to prevent smelling (there is a watering can that was full so I used that, but a hose would have given a bit more pressure). Finally, and perhaps the biggest drawback for us is that the property is damp. We holidayed in August and it was a fairly dry week; however our clothes and bedding felt clammy throughout. A small dehumidifier is available and it collected a fair amount of moisture but not enough to prevent the problem.

  The cottage was immaculate inside when we arrived.

  It appeared to have been newly decorated throughout, the beds were very comfortable with high quality linen. It is situated on the main road with the advantage of an excellent pub restaurant immediately opposite as well as a really good café/coffee shop and village store within a short distance. However, there is only a narrow pavement and there is inevitable traffic noise. There is full central heating and a log burning stove but we found the bedrooms became very warm. On our arrival there were no instructions or information sheets at all. This meant we had to find things such as the wi-fi password on the router or the heating controls for ourselves. Much more detail would be very helpful. The kitchen is generally well-equipped but the pans are all large and heavy so need some trial and error on older electric hobs. The oven grill was very weak and strangely there was no grill pan or ovenware other than a large casserole dish. The location is convenient for both the stunning Northumberland coast or inland attractions.

  We had an incredible stay at the granary from the moment we arrived we was struck by the peaceful rustic charm of the place.

  The Granary itself was beautifully laid out and spotless, very quirky and loads of character, offering a perfect blend of comfort & nature. Alison is an amazing host - friendly, responsive & attentive to every detail, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay but not at all intrusive. The location was perfect - Secluded enough for peace & quiet yet close to great hiking spots & local shops & attractions. We especially loved waking up to the serene sounds of nature and the few farm yard animals. The Granary was well equipped with the added bonus of a welcome pack ( Tea, coffee, milk, sugar, eggs Wine & logs) We highly recommend staying at the granary if your looking for a peaceful getaway with a fantastic host. We are planning on returning in March as theys so much to see in & around rothbury. Thanks again Alison, we look forward to seeing you again very soon

  We had a lovely stay at Edendale.

  The owner had left a lovely welcome pack, which was very much appreciated. The beds were comfortable with crisp, clean linen. Clean towels were also provided. The 3/4 for maintenance and cleanliness, related to a constantly dripping kitchen tap and windows that needing cleaning, as did the glass canopy in the back courtyard. Sadly, the ‘kerb appeal’ was lacking as the front entrance needed sweeping and cleaning. We appreciated the property was on a main road, but it’s these details that are relevant we feel. Having said the above, we would certainly rebook the accommodation should we ever visit the area again. It was very convenient for travelling to tourist attractions, and the village had all one needed, i.e butchers, convenience store, bakery and two pubs; both of which served food. S&D
