Thank you for the generous basket of arrival treats which we enjoyed while we were there. It's a beautiful spot and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. We were cosy and warm in the farm house over a February weekend and there was plenty of room for all the family. We would love to return sometime in warmer weather when we could enjoy the beautiful garden too. Thank you very much!

So spacious and clean with all of the amenities that we required. We did lots of cooking in the big kitchen. The garden was huge. My little doggies loved it. The house is also perfectly located to explore this beautiful side of Northumberland. Would highly recommend and would love to visit again in the future.

It was a central point for our family to get together from different parts of the UK. The weather scuppered our plans a little with storm Eowyn making an appearance and activities and pubs that we had planned to visit being closed but we still had lots of fun. The local pub The Crown was just 5 minutes walk away and was anll weekend with a good selection of beer and the food was delicious. I will certainly recommend East Farm house to my family and friends and look forward to staying again.
