  • "It was so nice to return once again for two weeks in this lovely, spacious, comfortable old stone cottage, set in a beautiful scenic location, with plenty of walks and places to explore around the area."

    On several days we stayed in due to heavy rainfall, but even then, just sitting in the conservatory looking at the views across the valley, watching the birds, wildlife and sheep kept us entertained. Thank you so much for sharing it!

  • "Let me start by saying this cottage is in a lovely location and with a bit of love could be spectacular."

    However, on arrival we had to pick up 4 dog poos from the gardens, as dog owners we understand that is the guest's responsibility, but it should have been double-checked by the caretaker, as we shouldn't have to clean-up after a previous guest. Cottage needed alot of TLC with worn furniture and peeling paint, but we could've overlooked it if the cottage had been cleaner, there was dust, cobwebs, dead spiders and just an overall feeling of grime, dirty cutlery and plates. The main bedroom hadn't been made up, so we slept in the 2nd bedroom which was not really big enough for a double bed. The cupboards and drawers also seemed dirty and smelly, so we just lived out of our suitcase. There wasn't any hand towels or washing up liquid, things you would expect as standard. Check-in time was earlier then most cottages we've been to and because of that I feel like the cleaning and checking process may be rushed, we feel like those extra couple of hours could be used for a more thorough clean and check. I know this review makes me sound like one of those people, but I have never had to leave a review like this before.

  • "We have stayed in the property over many years."

    It is the perfect spot for exploring the fantastic surrounding countryside with so many varied and interesting walks. Rothbury is nearby and a great place to visit for most of the things you need on your stay. The cottage has terrific unspoilt views and is traditional in its presentation which means you can relax and not be paranoid about the furniture, especially if you have dogs. It's also a great place to step out and see the Milky Way and Stars as the air is clear and there are no disturbing street lights.

  • "The mattress on both beds has seen better days."

    We would have liked a blind in the conservatory as the windows don’t open, eating the evening meal was not comfortable in the hot sun. The garden has become very untidy. Only two towels for four people for two weeks is less than generous!

    Rural setting is ideal for a quiet and peaceful holiday. We love the sun room with spectacular views of the countryside. Ideal for walkers like us and lots of wildlife too.

  • "A nice little cottage in a great location."

    Views up and down the valley from the conservatory. Would have been great for stargazing on a clear night, which we unfortunately didn't get. It was a little cool at night but this was due to the coldest June in living memory. Everything we needed was there, it was clean and welcoming. The local chippy in Rothbury is great. Internet is good and stable, even had a decent phone signal (even 5G on the 3 network)

    Even the rainy days were beautiful with the all round frieze of natural colour, and the additional visits from the pheasant, green finches and the lambs bleating outside my bedroom window

  • "Beautiful cottage, completely on its own in a wonderful, peaceful and private spot."

    The 360 degree views from the fully enclosed garden are amazing. A lovely place in a lovely part of the world. Rothbury is 5 minutes away by car and under an hour via a nice (sometimes muddy) walk. The cottage is cozy and welcoming with the standout feature being the large, comfortable conservatory with sweeping views of the Cheviots, the valley and Rothbury. Great place!

  • "The location is superb."

    A short walk away from Rothbury and plenty of walks from the door. The views are superb and we were nestled in farmland and could watch the wild birds, the cows and sheep grazing nearby. It was a real joy to watch the weather roll in and out.

An additional space which is great for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the main house is the conservatory which offers stunning 180 degree views of the countryside, making it the ideal spot for birdwatchers and star gazers.
