Whether you are joining friends or bringing along the family, this retreat is a breath of fresh air, a calm, serene place to base your holiday and build some memories. The sitting rooms are comfortably designed, introducing refreshing artwork, which graces the walls, a theme continued throughout the property, courtesy of the owner’s photography. There is an open-plan living area for those social hours with your loved ones, divided between a sage coloured kitchen, and a dining room which gives off a more rustic feel. Natural light sweeps in through the windows, with an outlook over the beautiful garden tying this all together. The bedrooms are effortlessly presented with one situated on the ground floor, well-appointed for the neighbouring cloakroom. The upper level being home to a variety of room styles to suit every guest and an effective family bathroom. This honeypot location benefits from a wonderful lawn garden, with a grand decked area and furniture where you can unwind under the sun.

Why not pay a visit to the village pub, or adventure further afield to discover the amenities of nearby Alnwick.

    The back of the house works really well for living and eating and the place was warm and very comfortable despite the rain and cold outside. There had been a couple of cleaning hiccups with three partly finished wine glasses on the floor beside the sofa and the microwave had obviously not been cleaned after its last use. These issues were easily remedied and did not change our view that this is a really good place to stay.

    The house is geared for families with children and the kids have loved it. looking forward to staying again in the future. BW

    Needs wine glasses as only 2 in the property. Pillows need replacing as all of them are lumpy. The double bed in the front upstairs room has broken slats at the bottom of the bed. The downstairs double has no mattress cover and the mattress under the lose topper is very badly stained- not nice at all. The property is comfortable but just needs some soft furnishings replaced and a deep clean to address these niggles. That said we had a great week A mirror would be useful in the twin room as no where to see to dry hair without using another room
