  This is a good base for visiting lots of places.

  Twincote is a nice little place, however if you are a tall person (or even shorter like myself at 5’3”) there are a few bumping head hazards. My husband at 6’3” spent practically the whole 7 days walking stooped over. Getting in and out of the shower was a task in itself. The Cottage had quite an off putting old smell when first walking in. The kitchen sink wasn’t too clean,I felt the need to clean it myself, the dishcloth was quite dirty afterwards. We actually left it cleaner than when we arrived. It was brown from I suspect tea/teabags being left/tipped down it and there was food crumbs stuck to the bottom of the bowl. The upstairs however, was spotlessly clean. The bed & pillows very comfortable. Had no qualms about sleeping on it. Great to have a parking space but very difficult to park in it as quite tight, especially as it’s on a very busy road. Wouldn’t suit a bigger vehicle.

  Really really lovely weekend away at The Guards van. The hosts texted us beforehand which was nice to let us know the place was ready for us. We had gone away to celebrate my partners birthday and on arrival there was a birthday banner and the hot tub was pre-set at optimum temperature which was amazing. Lovely little welcome hamper provided. The host came and introduced himself after we had checked in which was nice but after that we were left to our own devices and felt like we had total privacy- the secluded hot tub area helped with this as the way it’s set up means it’s totally private. The bed was so comfy!! And all the linens smelled totally fresh, including the dressing gowns which are provided. Everything is thought of including little things such as a travel washing line, board games, and useful info for the area like taxis. Neither of us had felt so relaxed in months: thank you. X

  There is nothing but positive superlatives to say about our stay at The Guards Van! We spent 5 idyllic nights here and are already looking forward to returning. The Hosts are wonderful. So welcoming, accommodating, friendly, available and knowledgeable but left us completely to ourselves. The Guards Van itself is perfect with everything you need and impeccably clean, thought out and appointed. The hot tub is a treat which we enjoyed every evening. Really helped with the muscles after exploring & walking in the stunning Northumberland countryside & beaches. The town of Wooler is a 10 minute drive and has a few pubs/bars and the really nice Milan Italian restaurant. Well worth a visit. Then the other direction to Millfield where Cafe Maelmin is the best spot for breakfast & delicious homemade lunches. There is so much to do in the area. It’s a perfect isolated spot with everything you need.

  An amazing location, literally places to go and something to do within 5 miles in any direction, gorgeous surroundings and scenery! The Guards Van itself has everything you will need, lovely and cozy inside, incredibly comfortable bed, and then the headline act of the hot tub which is perfect on a summer night!! Andrew and Emily were incredible hosts, both giving us a warm welcome on arrival and Andrew gave us a thorough tour so we knew how everything worked but also gave us a back story on the property which was brilliant and made us feel really connected to the history of the stay. Would love to go back was literally a faultless stay!

  The Guards Van is quirky and characterful and is in the most beautiful rural setting. As one can expect the Guards Van is a little tight on space but has been furnished and appointed to make the most of the space whilst not compromising on any amenities. There is a hot tub and garden chairs and external area so that you can really make the most of the local countryside and have additional space. We didn't do any of the local walks but its a great base to explore further afield on foot. We really felt that the hosts cared that we enjoyed our stay - they are close by but never intrusive. A thoughtful hamper awaited us on arrival too.
