  • "Had a very relaxing and peaceful stay at the Bothy."

    The property is very well equipped and comfortable for 2 people with a dog. The owners live in the adjacent Riding Hills farm so are on hand should you need them. The welcome pack was very good, one of the best we've had. Plenty of walks from the doorstep and the village of Riding Mill, which has a good pub and cafe/deli is about a 40 minute walk. Corbridge is a similar distance in the other direction. There is also a regular bus service from the main road (about 5 minutes walk) between Newcastle and Hexham. We really enjoyed it and will definitely book again for next year

  • "Lovely, well presented cottage."

    Fabulous welcome pack. All furnishings were comfortable and good quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bothy, one recommendation/feedback, the outside space could do with some maintenance and the amazing views are being blocked by some overgrown shrubs and trees, this did not impact our holiday at all. The neighbouring ducks, cat and hen were all very friendly

  • "Rules were no shoes in bothy."

    yet nowhere to take off wet gear or to dry dog. just put a porch on. storage for food and clothes were rubbish as well. should have been advertised as converted garage not bothy. also no windows to open, especially in bedroom

    The Bothy has everything you could need and with Hexham and Corbridge just a few minutes away there is plenty to do.

  • "We had a fabulous break, loads of lovely pubs for eating at."

    The friendly ducks came to the front door and shouted for breakfast (Weetabix). We did a Roman trail, joined English Heritage then did more Roman fort visits. The Bothy was very comfortable, beautifully furnished and decorated. The welcome box was lovely, the owners, Simon & Karen were helpful but not intrusive. It’s the only cottage we’ve stayed at for 2 weeks where the bedding and towels were changed half way through! A dlelightful place. Cats, ducks, hares, an owl and bats, what more could you ask for, I’m sure we’ll be back. Thanks, Denise, John & Poppy the cat! x

  • "Unfortunately we had to leave The Bothy last Saturday, 8th June because my friend was ill and he required medical attention, which as you are no doubt aware is difficult to get these days."

    We were very impressed with The Bothy and the surrounding area and were upset having to leave so soon. Should there be a chance of some recompense we would be most grateful.

  • "We stayed at The Bothy for a week in February."

    On arrival the view when you drive up the hill are amazing. The cottage is set amongst beautiful countryside at the edge of a small cluster of farm and barn conversions and there is a duck pond nearby. The space itself is beautiful and every item in the cottage has been carefully curated by the owners. It was spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was outstanding. All facilities were in good order with a lovely shower. The bed was super comfy and the quietness of the surrounding area ensured a great nights sleep. Our dog enjoyed sitting out on the deck and going for walks in the countryside. There are lots of lovely pubs nearby and great restaurants to try out.

    Immaculately clean and lovely furnishings. It is possible to buy more logs from the owners. Very quiet location yet within easy walk down the hill to the bus stops. Great location for being able to enjoy nice walks as well as easy access to Corbridge, Hexham, Hadrian's Wall, Tynemouth and Newcastle.

    Everything was well thought out, and all fixtures and fittings to a high standard.

Thanks to the hosts for providing such a lovely rental.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at the Bothy."

    Facilities were excellent and the lodge was placed in a very private, picturesque setting, approximately 2 miles from Corbridge. My only very slight criticism was that the previous renters had had a dog who they must have allowed to sit/sleep on the settee. I could smell 'dog'. This would not stop us from returning to the Bothy.

    I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the Bothy and you were great guests. We do ask that pets are not allowed on the settee and I will ask the Cleaners to pay particular attention to this in the future, very best wishes Karen Property Owner
