It's in a charming village with lovely local walks and excellent links to Edinburgh, Newcastle and Durham via the local train station 10 minutes walk away. The wonderful Northumbrian coast is on the doorstep with amazing beaches and coastline. Sue is an excellent host - she sends a welcoming information email, leaves a lovely welcome pack and calls to check all is well once you've arrived. We'll be back to stay at Rose cottage.
