Guests say

Maple Tree Cottage in Morpeth, Northumberland, is highly praised for its homely comfort, beautiful garden, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the cottage's proximity to local attractions, and the responsive owners. The picturesque setting and the convenience of nearby village amenities contribute to a delightful stay, despite some mentions of the bathroom's downstairs location.

Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and comfortable, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard maintained by the owners.

The location is celebrated for its tranquillity, proximity to a village with amenities, and ease of access to local attractions. However, one mention of an impassable footpath slightly impacts the score.

The cottage is frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with excellent beds and a homely feel. The only minor discomfort mentioned is the absence of an upstairs toilet.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, including a well-equipped kitchen and garden. The 'outhouse' is a bonus. Points are deducted for a mention of a cramped bathroom and a DVD volume issue, suggesting room for improvement.

While the reviews reflect positively on the owners' responsiveness and the personal touch of an email, there are no specific mentions of gifts or additional thoughtful gestures, so a score cannot be provided.

About this property

Nestled in rural Northumberland, in the lovely village of Longframlington is Maple Tree Cottage, a charming, two-bedroom abode. Enjoying countryside views and well-positioned near the Northumberland National Park, Maple Tree Cottage pays homage to its origins, featuring beamed ceilings, exposed stonework, and an inviting interior. Park up to the roadside and make your way on foot to your new abode. Enter into the open-plan living space where you'll locate a traditionally-styled kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and plush seating to relax upon with the woodburning stove alight. To the rear you'll find a handy, external utility, with an adjoining sunroom to bask within, with a morning coffee or late-night tipple in hand.

If the weather allows, take advantage of your private garden, and dine alfresco, before completing your nightly routine in the sleek, ground-floor shower room. Two well-appointed bedrooms await upstairs, a king-size and single, where you can rest ahead of your Northumberland itinerary. In the village itself you'll locate a convenience store and two pubs, serving delicious and traditional food, whilst further amenities lie north in Alnwick. Enveloped by characterful properties and National Trust sites, spend your coming days touring the Brinkburn Priory and Manor House, and discovering the magnificent country house of Cragside, whilst Northumberland Zoo is a car journey away, ideal for families.

Brimming with pretty landscapes, nature-filled walking trails and cycling routes, be sure to traverse the National Park, or head to the Northumberland Coast AONB, sure to stop off at the sweeping terrain of Alnmouth Beach, Seahouses shoreline, and Bamburgh Beach. Closer to home you'll also find the Bailiffgate Museum, The Alnwick Garden, and Alnwick Castle, worth visiting whilst in the area, before returning home for sundowners. All of this awaits at Maple Tree Cottage.

The village of Longframlington sits at the heart of rural Northumberland, between the Cheviots and the coast and provides great access to a range of great walking opportunities. Brinkburn Priory is a pleasant, short drive away - a restored Augustinian priory in a most lovely setting beside the River Coquet. Just 10 minutes’ drive to the west is the National Trust’s Cragside House and Gardens, whilst the Heritage Coast is just a 15-minute drive to the east, offering miles of clean sandy beaches. The historic town of Alnwick, with its impressive Castle and Garden, lies just 11 miles to the north and is well worth a visit. With the spectacular National Park also within easy reach, this superb base is ideal for exploring Northumberland or taking a relaxing break!

    The lovely garden is great for relaxing in the sun. Would 100% consider rebooking if I returned to Northumberland & would recommend this cottage to anyone thinking of booking it.

  • Sarah

    We had a lovely week there.

  • Jane

    Parking was easy and the utility space provided an extra light room though we had no need to use it. The kitchen was well equiped, the seating ok though I never feel I comfortable on a leather sofa (seem to slide off!). At the time the dvd volume didn't work but I'm sure the owners will rectify as they seemed very responsive to feedback. After rainy days the hot shower was welcomed. A great stay not far from a lovely village where people are super friendly. We would certainly stay again
