  A lovely couple of days at the cottage.

  Location wise, I think it's perfect being close enough to the A1 but without the noise. Used it as a jumping point to the likes of Bamburgh Castle and Holy island to the north, about 1 hour to the Kielder Waterside forest park to the west. Our cottage came equipped with all the kitchen utensils you need for cooking anything you want and 30 mins to the likes of Newcastle. Bed is comfy, and the ensuite is workable - the electric shower gets the job done, just dont expect large volumes of water lol. Front gardens are well kept and large for any of your dogs to run around, but there's no gates to the drive so be careful. One of the ladies that work there have some dogs that live with them, and although they're a little loud and come up to you 'barking', dont worry, they're just overly excited so dont be scared - just be mindful if you let yours off the lead. Do note that the walls between the cottages lack a certain degree of sound proofing, you can certainly hear each other in the bedrooms and in our particular cottage, its separated via a locked door (useful option for those with kids where they can have their own cottage to themselves) - our particular neighbour was keen cooking at late at night when they got back from where ever they were - and you can definitely hear the microwaves and pan clanging. Stand out was the recently upgraded internet, got 30mb downloads and uploads, so was able to have a TEAMS conference call and stream the championship final to the ipad with no issues - so for those who CANT escape from the net, this will certainly meet your needs. Still, a recommendation and top marks to Jane who was a lovely host.

  Where can I start.

  This property is perfect for a romantic get away. This is the perfect location, right next to a pub that serves great beer, great food, but for those not into that kind of stuff, it is near a bus stop. Where you can explore the wonderful areas of Northumberland, Sue & John are the perfect hosts, they catered to our needs, offered helpful advice on exploring and were very helpful for when we needed to talk to them. They both are very down to earth and treated us with respect. The cottage itself, upon arrival, it was very clean, not any dust in sight, and it smelled very fresh! It was kitted out with everything we needed, but I also liked the extras, the bird feeder, where you can see all the birds eat out, throughout the day. Seeing all the beautiful pheasants and horses run around in the field! The bed, was very comfy, and we had good night sleeps on it. The exterior, it had an amazing patio where you can just sit and chill, which would be perfect in the summer! We had the best holiday here, and I honestly would stay here again. The price is very reasonable, I am very surprised I managed to book this holiday for the price I did, because this cottage was a absolute gem. We will definitely be returning in the future.

  Fabulous cottage!

  Exceptionally clean, very well decorated and had everything we needed for a quiet week away. Sue and John were there to meet us and explain the cottage "workings" and the local area. Such a lovely couple, nothing was too much trouble and there was a complimentary basket of goodies for us to enjoy too. The Widdrington Inn was only steps away from the cottage and we had some lovely meals there. The cottage is well placed for Alnwick, Seaham, Amble (lovely Sunday market) and Morpeth, to name a few "hotspots". We spent a day in Edinburgh - train from Morpeth only took an hour and a half. I understand that from December one can get to Edinburgh from the local Widdrington Station (about a mile and a half from the cottage). There is also a co-op store at Widdrington Station which was handy for the few bits that we needed, next door to which is a Fish and Chip Shop which I believe opens about 4.30 in the afternoon. Definitely would go back to this cottage and have already recommended it to some of our friends. Lovely area, people very friendly. Ooh, nearly forgot, try visiting Walkworth - small village lovely gift shop at reasonable prices.

  The cottage was compact as I expected.

  Perfectly clean and comfortable bed. What I'd like to emphasise is the misrepresentation of certain items in the property description on the site. Firstly it states that the small porch has a lovely comfortable chair. No it doesn't it contains a small, wooden folding chair. Secondly it states that the living room has a sofa and large TV. The TV is extremely small 22inches not large at all. Thirdly the description of the kitchen is that there is a wonderful set of contemporary fitted units and plenty of worktop space for preparing meals. In fact, the units are very basic and the available worktop space for food prep is small I'd say about 2ft in length the rest of the kitchenette area space taken up by the sink drainer and cooker top. All the points I've made can be validated by the photos on the site of the property. The problem to me was that the descriptions were inaccurate and untrue.

  We would like to thank you for a wonderful stay .

  We didn't give 100% because for us ot was just a bit too small .we took a gamble at booking this cottage because it was the area we were wanting to stay, but my wife has disabilities and she found it too difficult for comfort and climbing the stairs, the only other thing was the size of the bed and it's position, we kept banging our feet on the leg when trying to get by.we had to push it over to the wall to get by.and the shower door doesn't go back so I had to assist her getting in and out the shower safely. None of these issues were your fault , the cottage was wonderful it was our fault for not booking a ground floor with a bit more space because of her disabilities.the cottage was clean and had everything thing in it you could need for a holiday break.thank you again.if you had a disability cottage we would not hesitate to return.
