Lovely holiday home and was very convenient to everywhere we wanted to visit. The Stables fully catered for 3 generations of my family and we were all very comfortable. The added bonus of the Hot Tub was lovely on an evening. It is a peaceful place and listening to the chickens, chicks and ducks on a morning sounded lovely too. Would definitely recommend to anyone. There was also a lovely welcome pack on arrival which went down a treat with the us all.

The accommodation was spotless, modern, and well-appointed. The dishwasher and washing machine (there is no dryer, but an outdoor clothes line is available) were helpful. Smart TVs and fast wifi were enjoyed by the kids. The hot tub is private and lovely, situated at the back of this detached cottage, looking out at the fields and livestock (chickens, a turkey, horses). It is spacious and quiet indoors. It is a good base to explore Northumberland (Hadrian's Wall, Morpeth, Newcastle upon Tyne, Alnwick, Bamburgh).
