Excellent cottage. My wife and I both said "Wow" when we walked in. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Loved that we could close the gate and let the dog wander in and out as she pleased. Location was great for us, there is a road in front, but we loved watching the motorcycles go by. There's not much in walking distance, but it's only 3.5 miles to Bellingham, and half an hour to Hexham for provisions. Corbridge is a lovely village (particularly Grants bakery...). Owners who live on site were friendly and helpful, but not intrusive, and were helpful when we had the most dramatic storm, and lightning struck the telegraph pole outside and took out some electrics and wifi/TV for a short while. We would not hesitate to book here again if we visit this area again. Thank you.
