"Lavender Cottage is in a quiet village where the on street parking was never a problem."
The cottage is clean and cosy with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The large log burner will make winter breaks very pleasant . We really appreciated the fresh milk, biscuits and wine left for us by the owners. A lovely touch that made us feel especially welcome.

"A beautiful cosy cottage for lovely Autumn getaway!"
The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable. Both bedrooms were a really good size, and the beds comfortable. The wood burning stove in the lounge was a real treat and we got it going relatively easily. There was plenty of space to cook and eat too. The surrounding area was lovely. The pub opposite, was welcoming and had a good selection of beers. The location was great, a great base for exploring the coast as well as inland. Alnwick for the big supermarkets wasn't far, and Wooler was great for the little bits. We definitely hope to be back soon!

"The cottage itself was absolutely beautiful - undoubtedly the most attractive cottage we’ve ever stayed in - including several National Trust properties."
We very much appreciated the welcome gift of wine, milk and biscuits. There were only a couple of tiny niggles that prevented an all round ‘top marks’ score - and not all are in the owners gift to remedy e.g. the fact that the Queen’s Head no longer does meals ( however the bar staff and locals were all very friendly and the recommended alternatives were excellent - but a drive away!)
The outdoor seating area of the cottage was tiny (extremely curious arrangement of garden space with neighbours) and only got the sun in the morning, so fine for breakfast - but also no space for comfortable seating. We would have loved to have sat out in the evening especially since the weather gorgeous that week - also because the stone walled cottage itself was rather chilly - necessitating putting on the log burner each evening. We use a log burner at home and found the one at the cottage hard to fathom out and it felt pretty inefficient despite it being enormous.
Both of us would have preferred a slightly firmer mattress but fully appreciate that people’s tastes differ and you can’t suit everyone.
Lastly we were slightly concerned by the presence of some odd spore like material on the underside of the shelves in the main bedroom wardrobe. No idea what it was but somewhat unnerving.
Sorry to be so picky - especially since we were, on the whole, absolutely bowled over by the cottage - and the village. We would certainly recommend it - and have done - (albeit with the above mentioned provisos) and we wouldn’t hesitate to book it again should we ever need a place to stay in the area - we’d just pack more jumpers!
Thank you.

"Lavender Cottage was a joy, everything we could have wished for."
Great location to explore beautiful Northumberland. One of the many reasons we chose Lavender Cottage was that there was a s a pub in the village. Unfortunately The Queens Head wasn’t the warm friendly place we were hoping for, the nearest pub doing food was The Tankerville Arms. This is a great place but involved driving.

"Absolutely lovely cottage, beautiful fittings and had everything we needed."
Great information too. The owner was so helpful when we had a problem with the smoke alarms too. Nothing was too much trouble. Just a couple of things, the TV aerial cable is very weak and the signal was badly affected at times. Also the outside garden light was not working. Great experience!

"Generously proportioned and elegantly restored cottage in a pleasant and handily placed village."
We used it as a base for walking the Cheviots - a lovely area - but on the days when the weather kept us from the high fells we popped to the coast. Opposite the village pub, which makes up in friendliness what it lacks in beer choice. Very comfortable stay - two happy and tired dogs at the end of the week.

We'd booked last minute, at a time when cottages were hard to come by - and couldn't believe our luck when we arrived. The cottage is lovely, and the location is ideal for a stay in Northumberland (15 min drive to Alnwick, a bit longer to the beach). Will likely come again. Thanks!

The cottage is a great mixture of traditional and contemporary styles and had everything we wished for. It has a stylish living room, a good log fire and the kitchen is modern and well equipped. The bedrooms are both really well presented, with comfy beds and a good range of furniture.

"We were delighted with our stay at Lavender Cottage."
Darren’s welcome email was a lovely touch and provided helpful information about finding the property, local services and things to do/places to go. He also invited us to contact him if there were any problems, which was reassuring and thankfully unnecessary.
The cottage is lovely. It had everything we needed, including the peace and quiet of a sleepy hamlet. It’s a great location for exploring the coast, borders and Kielder as well as Alnwick and Cragside; had it been a little further from the summer solstice, stargazing would have been excellent, too. There’s no problem with parking on the road right outside and the majority of traffic we saw was flocks of sheep.
Our basic checklist is a sense of security, a decent hot shower and a comfortable bed and Lavender Cottage delivered all three. It’s cool when the temperature rises with very effective heating panels when it drops a little cooler. I expect that the fires in lounge and bedroom would be a treat in late autumn/winter.
The kitchen was well set-up with crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment and lacked only a freezer compartment for ice cubes/packs, which is a minor concern. It was spotlessly clean and light with a good amount of space. Not only was the lounge a comfortable and relaxing place, but there were games and books for entertainment and we were able to login to our own Netflix account on the TV. Both bedrooms are beautiful and the master much more spacious than we’d expected. The addition of a hairdryer would make it perfect.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our holiday and we’re keen to return ourselves as well as recommending to family and friends.
