    Beautiful property which is perfectly located for the high street. The quality of the accomodation was very high.

    We had a lovely week and would happily recommend to other people. Central to lots of things to do particularly cragside, Alnwick and a nice ride to bamburgh castle. Jump on the train at Berwick into Edinburgh to walk the royal mile. The shops/bakery etc in Rothbury are lovely. Thank you

    We have just returned from a wonderful week at Well Strand in the charming small town of Rothbury in Rual Northumberland. The cottage was beautiful, very clean and comfortable and Joanne and Martin were both very helpful. The cottage is located extremely well for local amenities and a great base to explore Northumberland. We throughly enjoyed our week and cant wait to rebook for 2027 😍
