Fabulous house in a great location. The dogs loved the secure spacious garden & they enjoyed their welcome pack, as much as we appreciated ours. It's so peaceful the wildlife is amazing, walks on the doorstep, & its not far to Kielder Forest, the coast & National trust properties. Can highly recommend 😊
