Fabulous place to stay, so well equipped, clean & comfortable. We had a lovely week’s holiday, thought the location was great. It was very convenient to be near the A1 giving you quick access to so many places, country, coastal or city everything within easy reach. As has been mentioned the property is in the ground’s of the owner own home but this didn’t bother us, the owners as lovely & very helpful. Very pet friendly too. Northumberland certainly has it all, we will back.

A little gem of a cottage. Absolutely loved it. Ideal location. Anne and Dave were amazing hosts and were on hand if required. Cottage had everything you could want while there. Loads of little extras which were wonderful. Cottage was warm with a very comfortable bed. Able to use the garden for our elderly dog, so that was really helpful. Moorhouse farm shop located right next door for the odd treat and anything you could possibly need. Will certainly return as everything you could wish for.
