What our customers say about their holidays

  We (a couple) spent a long weekend exploring Northumberland and used the Granary as our base.

  Our arrival was easy with good comms in advance on what to expect. The owners were lovely and checked in a few times to ensure we had everything we needed, despite being busy with lambing season! The Granary is on a working farm so be prepared for animals, but it made the location more endearing for us. The location is at the end of an off-road track - bit bumpy in a regular car but ok if you drive slowly - and Rothbury village can be reached on foot in under 15 minutes. The Granary itself is located on the first floor and there's a stunning view over the hills from the living room. You'll find a double bed in the front of the cottage and two singles further back, and a dividing screen is available if you want to close the two areas off from each other. The kitchen had everything you might need for eating in, and the wine and fresh eggs from the farm were a nice surprise on arrival. In the bathroom, the shower was great (temperature and pressure) although if you're quite tall, the angle of the ceiling may make it a little tight. We had a few chilly days but the central heating was very effective and the log burner created a cosy evening atmosphere! We'd definitely recommend the Granary. It worked for us as a couple and is especially perfect for those that need a base for walking or those that like the outdoor life. It would also be good for those with young children simply for being on a farm and the chance to meet the animals.

  We had an incredible stay at the granary from the moment we arrived we was struck by the peaceful rustic charm of the place.

  The Granary itself was beautifully laid out and spotless, very quirky and loads of character, offering a perfect blend of comfort & nature. Alison is an amazing host - friendly, responsive & attentive to every detail, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay but not at all intrusive. The location was perfect - Secluded enough for peace & quiet yet close to great hiking spots & local shops & attractions. We especially loved waking up to the serene sounds of nature and the few farm yard animals. The Granary was well equipped with the added bonus of a welcome pack ( Tea, coffee, milk, sugar, eggs Wine & logs) We highly recommend staying at the granary if your looking for a peaceful getaway with a fantastic host. We are planning on returning in March as theys so much to see in & around rothbury. Thanks again Alison, we look forward to seeing you again very soon

  The property is well equipped and in a good location.

  A real home from home. The owner was very friendly and a thoughtful welcome pack provided. Our only comments would be that the front and side bedrooms require blackout blinds as the street lights outside shine all night and kept my son awake. We personally found all the bed mattresses very uncomfortable so didn’t have a good night sleep all week. We ended up using all the beds. We ate in most night so a dishwasher would be good, there is space in the kitchen and for a family it’s a positive to provide one now days. My final comment which the owner cannot do anything about and that would stop us staying in Rothbury again generally is the Church clock climes on the hour all night and this also contributed to our lack of sleep. The property is very close to the church. With the window open it is even louder so had to close the windows at night. Thank you.

  A lovely holiday in great accommodation and a beautiful area.

  Everything was as described. The property had plenty of room and was very comfortably furnished. The pool room / games room was great and we spent many evening hours playing pool and table football . A chalkboard for recording scores would be a useful addition for us competitive types . Our party of 8 adults and two children had plenty of room and were not under each others feet at all during our stay. The Steadings is in a great area, enjoying wonderful views across the valley to Rothbury. Rothbury was a great large village with shops and amenities to suit all. We had a great week and would readily book again. The only things to be aware of would be the very slippery ( but lovely) wooden floors in the living room and steps to the living room. Thank you for such a lovely holiday in a great area.

  The cottage was warm and very well equipped,.

  It was in an ideal location with good local amenities. It was vey comfortable and the neighbours were friendly and helpful. We suggest that you warn visitors that the nearest petrol is in Alnwick, followed by Morpeth. These are both about 11 miles from the cottage so one is advised not to arrive with an empty tank. The cottage was nearly perfect, our only suggestions are: A steel to sharpen the knives A tea cozy and A grab rail in the shower for elderly and less agile visitors. A lovely spot for a holiday.
