Guests say

Humbleton Cottage is highly praised for its peaceful and secluded location, offering stunning views and an abundance of wildlife. Guests appreciate the cosy and comfortable setting, with a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches. While some minor maintenance and cleanliness issues are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment in a dreamy Northumberland setting.

Most guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, with high-quality bedding and towels. However, a few guests mentioned areas needing more thorough cleaning, such as kitchen cupboards and the shower drain, slightly lowering the score.

The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to wildlife and historical sites. It serves as an excellent base for exploring Northumberland, contributing to a high score.

The cottage is described as cosy and peaceful, with comfortable beds and a homely atmosphere. Some guests mentioned the sofa being slightly uncomfortable, which is taken into account in the score.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy living space. However, inaccuracies in listings regarding Wi-Fi and a freezer, along with some suggestions for additional amenities like a dishwasher, affect the score.

While guests mention a warm welcome and a helpful caretaker, there are no specific references to gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

  • John

    Complete lack of information on how everything worked. TV never worked. Internet worked occasionally but was useless even when it did. Double bed accessible with difficulty from one side only. Dangerous steps inside with no edge markings or hand rails. 79 year old fell down these and was extremely fortunate not to be seriously injured. Steps outside with no edge markings. Generally untidy outside with weed infested paths.
