The Rose provided us with an excellent base for our break - so cozy & great amenities. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Really dog friendly area & loads to see & do for all the family, even on wetter days. We slept so well after all the sea air. The cottage was very quiet and the beds and sofas really comfortable to wind down after days out. Would love to come back.

Lovely cottage, very well appointed and immaculately clean. Gorgeous sunny garden and games room. A little overlooked by neighbours however! So very little privacy.

A lovely clean cottage which is very well equipped, had everything we needed. Has a pretty little garden which is fully enclosed so very suitable for our 2 terriers. The games room is an added bonus The location in Lesbury is excellent, walking distance to a lovely country pub which serves good food and is dog friendly. There is a little community owned village shop.It's location is ideal for touring Northumberland.
