"Well equipped, lovely cottage in a great little village."
Everything we needed for a fabulous few days in Northumberland. Had asked for the twin beds to be made into a King size bed to give us more space as had seen in a previous review which was a great touch as that was a much bigger bedroom. Can’t think of any negatives at all!

"This is the third time we have stayed at Rowan Barn and it just doesn’t disappoint."
It’s a beautiful property the decor and facilities have all been carefully thought out. All you need to take with you is your toiletries and clothes !! This is a gem of a property nestled in the heart of a very friendly village. We will definitely be back
Thank you for your lovely feedback again. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"Beautifully appointed property and spotlessly clean."
Nice hospitality touches and fully accessorised kitchen made for a very comfortable stay. Recommend to anyone staying in Bellingham. If you're using both bedrooms, the one with the double bed is a tad tight as there's not much room between the bed and walls. Larger built people may have a slight problem maneuvering. We used the two single beds in the double bedroom, which were very comfortable. First and Last brewery, a few minutes walk away, is worth a visit if you're into real ale.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and pleased your stay was comfortable. The two single beds can be made up as a superking on request at the time of booking or please contact with a week’s notice of your arrival and this can be arranged for guests. Thank you, Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"RowanBarn was a delight."
Beautiful house in a lovely village setting, the owners and their daughter were so helpful and friendly. The layout of the property was stunning inside with everything you could need with a cosy outside patio beside a gentle burn. Just a joy, I would recommend it to anyone thank you.
Thank you for your feedback, it was lovely to meet you and pleased your stay was enjoyable. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"This was our second time staying at Rowan Barn and from the moment we opened the door it felt like coming home."
It’s such a beautiful place to stay and the decor and attention to detail provides such a relaxing atmosphere. Everything has been carefully thought through and the facilities are excellent for both families with little ones to just adults. We love it so much we’ve booked again in October. We would definitely recommend this property.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay again and thank you for such positive comments. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"Very disappointed at the lack of secure bike storage , the safe shed was full of tools."
We were offered to store them in the adjoining property which would have worked but the property was being renovated and the very wide entrance door was constantly blocked by a large camper van overnight so no go !!!!!! Area was beautiful and accommodation was spotless .
Thank you for your feedback. We can only apologise for the lack of space in the secure shed for storage of bikes, this will be addressed at the earliest opportunity. As for a camper van being parked over the doors of the adjoining building where you were shown to store bikes, we have no idea why this was parked there, it didn’t belong to us and we never gave permission to anyone to park there so can only apologise again. Our phone numbers are available for guests to contact us so that we may help with any issues such as these. We hope all other aspects of your stay were enjoyable. Kind regards, Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"A wonderful, well appointed cottage in a tranquil, beautiful village."
Rowan Barn is a lovely base for our week exploring the area. We’ve walked locally from the cottage, and also ventured to Blanchland, Kielder, Stonehaugh, Elsdon, Wark and Sycamore Gap. So much to see and so many miles walked! The accommodation exceeded our expectations, including a sunny breakfast area to start the day and a sunny side garden to end the day, and the village has everything you may need.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, pleased you enjoyed your stay. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"Mum and I got really lucky when we chose Rowan Barn for our mini break to Northumbria."
The photos don't do this beautiful cottage justice. Every little thing has been thought about. There were even freezer bags! A lovely welcome tray and milk in the fridge. I could easily have moved in and re-located from Chorley. It's ideally located for day trips. We discovered a hidden gem in Howick Hall - a must visit if you love trees and plants. We've both raved about the Barn and Northumbria to friends and family since we came home. We plan to come back. Thank you for providing a lovely place to stay.
So pleased you had a great stay and thank you for taking time to provide such lovely comments. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"The main issue was the conflicting location information because you stated that the cottage was 2."
4 miles from Bellingham whereas it was in the village. You need to change this. This is totally a Sykes problem. The owners were brilliant and the cottage was great.
Thank you for your feedback. We shall ask to get the printed directions changed to be accurate for the location. Pleased you enjoyed your stay. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"We loved staying here."
The comfort was outstanding. Everything we needed was there. The under floor heating is sublime so comfortable, can walk about in bare feet. We loved the patio, faces the morning sun, and just listening to the babbling brook and the birds. The local shop has anything you need and thete are restaurants/cafes to choose from. There many places accessible from Bellingham for walks, scenic drives, castles, houses etc. The local walks along the river bank and up Hareshaw Linn to see the waterfalls. After a night's rain very scenic.
Thank you for taking time to write your feedback. We are pleased you loved your stay at Rowan Barn and found everything comfortable. Alison & Kyle Property Owner

"It was an honour to be the first guests to stay at Rowan Barn."
The conversion has been completed thoughtfully and to a very high standard of finish inside and out. It is very well equipped and comfortable & the welcome pack was very much appreciated. The hosts were helpful and attentive and readily available and should be proud of what they have achieved to provide a lovely place to stay. The Barn is superbly situated with a sitting out area next to a small river and close to the excellent amenities in Bellingham, as well as having lovely walks from the door. We would like to thank Alison and Kyle, wish them well with their venture and would love to stay again.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. You were the perfect first guests and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again in the future. Alison & Kyle Property Owner
