• "An amazing cottage in a gorgeous setting!"

  Absolutely fell in love with the area, and Isaacs Cottage was the perfect base to relax in. Very spacious, well equipped and perfectly comfortable. We have no negative words to say, one of the best places we've stayed in a long time.

• "Very nice cottage and location."

  Very peaceful and lovely views. Seems remote but only 5 miles to a town with a small supermarket and pubs. Cottage was clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. I've seen a few reviews suggesting you need a 4x4 to get up the farm track but we pottered up and down for a week in a Renault Clio without any bother, just take your time!

• "Despite the weather, we had a great time at Isaac’s Cottage."

  Anyone staying here should be aware of the very bumpy track to the property- we have a Landrover so it wasn’t an issue for us.

  Our private lane is well maintained the single road which runs parallel to the river is council road they have been made a where of it and I’m sure it’s on their never ending to do list. Property Owner

• "Enjoyed our stay as the cottage was very comfortable."

  The surrounding area is lovely and we had some great walks with the dogs on the moors. Visited several places on Hadrians Wall, also had a day in the Lake District, about an hour and a half drive to Keswick. We didn't find any walks/footpaths direct from the cottage and the access road to the cottage is a farm track that's quite bumpy, which wasn't made clear in the listing. Would stay at Isaacs Cottage again though.

• "Isaacs cottage was in a perfect location for me and my husband to walk/cycle from."

  The countryside is stunning and picturesque. It is secluded, but easy to get to larger places of historical interest by car or bike. The cottage itself is so well equipped, especially in the kitchen where everything you could imagine was found. I’d also like to thank the owner Heather for making us so welcome. She goes above and beyond to help in anyway. Thanks so much and well done. Juliet and Edward frankland.

  We were really disappointed to see the hot tub was gone upon arrival as we really enjoyed using it the first time we stayed. The cottages is presented beautifully and is really comfortable. There are lots of lovely walks from the cottage.

• "Fantastic Cottage!"

  ! We visited on 29th December to see in the new year. The cottage was exactly as we hoped it would be, cosy and remote, away from any hustle. The directions were clear and we had no trouble finding it. We had brought a lot with us that we thought we might need but everything was supplied in terms of logs, toilet tissue, bin bags etc and there was enough cutlery and dishes for a large family and we were also welcomed with a nice message and a cake that we weren’t expecting. The cottage is well laid out and has ample room for four adults to live in comfort. We had two small dogs with us and they loved the walks around the area and then sleeping in front of the open fire. We couldn’t fault anything about our stay at all and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

  It was a wonderful escape for us with a perfect mix of short and long walks right from the door. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. It was immaculately clean and had all we needed for a great stay! Nestled into the hillside it had amazing views. Heather was absolutely lovely to communicate with, responding quickly. Thank you!

• "We had a lovely stay here, it was very cosy and the facilities were great, shower was amazing and the open fire was fantastic."

  We very much appreciated the welcome gift and hot tub too for the evenings! The only issue we had was the wheely bin was full when we arrived so we weren’t able to put our rubbish in it at the end of our stay, it may be helpful to have a larger or second bin if possible. Apart from that everything was fantastic, thank you so much!

• "Everything was clean and ready for us to use."

  Didn't meet the owner just their daughter-in-law (& her lovely 2 girls!) and she was a darling, very helpful & sweet. Wonderful, cozy & quirky cottage attached to the farmhouse but with your own privacy. Nicely styled bedrooms, very different but all with super comfortable beds and lots of storage. Kitchen well equipped & we had a lovely welcome pack of milk, chocolate cake & white wine waiting for us. Wonderfully comfortable and cozy living room to lounge in after dinner with a book or a game. The hot tub was awesome, very large and with beautiful lights both inside the water & also over the heads on the wooden roof. We used it every evening & it was nice to soak in the hot water with the jets on while it was raining outside! One night the moon came out while we were in, that was unbelievable! I would highly recommend Isaacs cottage if you want peace, quiet & a bit off the beaten track. The scenery all around is breathtakingly beautiful, and tons of day trips await. To the near there are Allenheads, Allendale, which are both lovely! Stanhope was nice & isnt too far. Hexham, Durham, Corbridge (oh, don't miss Corbridge!! Wonderful little village with cafés, shops, church, great afternoon out!!), also Hadrian's wall only 30 min. away by car (various sites, if you have time try 2 or 3, they are all a bit different!) or villages up the coast are also doable. We went to Alnwick, lovely drive about 90 min. (if you dont take the A1 but go cross country you'll be amazed at how beautiful the countryside is!! Many photo spots await you there.). We took walks in the National park to the North, but there are walks really pretty from basically just up the road from the house as well!! We were very happy with the place and felt right at home when we arrived. There wasn't a thing we didn't like! Would love to return! What a wonderful week spent in this wonderful place! Just mind you, it's remote, and the farm track is a little bumpy in places, so drive carefully & don't bring your Porsche. ;-)

• "We have had a great week staying at Isaacs Cottage."

  The hottub was definitely the highlight of the cottage. That was lovely to use after a long walk. Very relaxing. Beautiful scenery. The beds were excellent - so soft and very comfortable to sleep in. The decor was mixed throughout the house. The downstairs was quite cold and the upstairs warm. Further from Hadrian Wall than we expected.

  The neighboring hosts are friendly and welcoming - the cottage is clean and comfortable and our 2 dogs were secure and relaxed - but a little baffled at the over friendly lambs. For a peaceful relaxing break you couldn't ask for anywhere better. Thank you for a lovely time.

  The cottage has everything you need to enjoy time away from everything. Loved the walks along Hadrian’s wall and locally, followed by mulled wine in front of the open fire in the cosy lounge.

• "Not only is the house in the most beautiful setting, but it has a really cosy feeling."

  We felt at home as soon as we arrived. We always take a few basic kitchen and house bits and pieces with us, on the off chance we need them, but at Isaacs cottage you truly don’t need them! The kitchen, and house, have everything you could possibly ask for. It was a fantastic base to explore Northumberland, and the Hot Tub is fantastic after a day of walking. There are also two very friendly cats who like to come and say hello at every opportunity! The only downside was that we only booked for a week. I would quite happily have stayed for longer and cannot recommend Isaacs Cottage enough.

• "Just brilliant!"

  We visited as 4 adults, 1 child and a toddler and were concerned about space - we needn't have been - there was ample space and everything we could have asked for. The kitchen was one of the best equipped ones I've come across in a holiday cottage, we even had everything we needed to bake. Easy to find but so very peaceful and tranquil, the nearby village of Allendale has several nice pubs, all of which do food, a well stocked shop and a great play park, complete with zip-wire. The hot tub was fantastic and ending our days having a soak taking in the breathtaking views was just perfect. Unlike other holiday cottages we've stayed in which can be a bit soulless...Isaac Cottage feels so homely with lots of character and the comfiest bed I've ever slept in. Highly recommended by us - we'll be back!

  The owners were lovely and helpful We really appreciated the little touches of being left a cake and wine. Have recommended to others already. If we could change one thing it would be the bed we used in the main bedroom which was a standard double and not so comfortable. Otherwise excellent and would go again.
