Lovely house in a lovely location. Rothbury is very people and dog friendly. Plenty of tea rooms, cafes, pubs and restaurants that except dogs. House situated alongside the Coquet with great walks. Would visit again.

Great location and good accommodation. You can walk from the house. Thank you for the wine, biscuits and drink sachets. Much appreciated. Would suggest you could provide cleaning products under the sink for day to day cleaning and consider if it is possible to make the second bedroom warmer at night. Maybe make a note that all the beds have soft mattresses in case people need firmer ones due to back problems.
