"Fab place to stay so comfortable and cosy"
-
"Fabulous, well stocked cottage."
Ideally situated to explore West Northumberland. The welcome pack was a great surprise. Hot tub was hot and well kept and with being in a dark skies are the sky at night was amazing. The owner honoured us an extra night due to the storm knocking the electricity off. The local pub in walking distance was very friendly and did the best Haggis Neeps and Tatties. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Only minus was the leak in the bathroom. We will be back.

"It was like walking in to someone's home when we first walked in to Crag View."
The cottage is gorgeous and is so warm and comfortable. The hot tub is a lovely addition. We were made to feel so welcome and the welcome pack was a lovely, unexpected addition too, (thank you).
-

"Lovely cosy comfortable cottage with a safe enclosed garden for Poppy our Lab."
Perfect for relaxing in the hot tub, star gazing, after a busy day walking in beautiful Northumberland. Thank you for the hamper of treats and for your kind help when we got stranded in the snow! Looking forward to visiting again next year.
-

The hot tub is a lovely extra after a day out sight seeing,the beds and sofa are really comfortable and the welcome pack is amazing thank you.This is a beautiful peaceful part of the country 5* to the owners on this lovely cottage would highly recommend you won't be disappointed.

"We had a lovely stay last week, cottage and facilities excellent, thank you for the welcome box too."
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Crag view."
It was so nice to not have to worry that our dog wasn't safe in the garden when we we're sat in the hot tub and the bed was so comfy
-
"Lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need."
Comfortable, cosy and very quiet . Beautiful area and easy access to Northumberland and Scotland .
-
"Crag View was very comfortable and warm."
A really good base for exploring the area including Hadrian's Wall and up to Scotland too. Jedburgh is well worth visiting! We so enjoyed exploring so we didn't use the hot tub, but it seems to be very popular with guests.
-
"Fantastic hideaway for peace quiet and tranquility."
Location, is ideal for exploring hidden areas or those areas that are usually that too far, for example, Falkirk wheel is an easy drive to get to.
-
"The property is lovely and comfortable, accommodation was spacious and clean."
Really liked the welcome pack, which we enjoyed- thank you.Prosecco went down well as did the hot tub! The only thing which would have made this for us as two women, would have been a dressing table with mirror we could sit at near a plug socket. We could not really adapt anything for this purpose and made drying hair difficult. We used the property as a base from which we were able to explore different areas of Northumberland, then home to relax in the hot tub. Perfect !
-
"What a fantasticly cosy cottage, everything had been thought of and provided including a lovely welcome pack and milk in the fridge."
The location was fantastic for the NP and Keilder.
-
"This is a fabulous cottage in a great location."
We have stayed in Northumberland several times and to date this is my favourite place. A clean and spacious cottage, a modern kitchen, massive comfortable sofas and beds..... basically everything you need. Although on a main road, it did not disturb and we used the back gate entrance rather than the front for safety for our curious dogs. The garden was well maintained and plenty of space and seating. The hot tub was just a bonus for our family. This too was maintained every day and emptied, cleaned and refilled after our weeks holiday. Owners who lived nearby were friendly and we knew they were there if we needed anything. Just a lovely holiday in a beautiful area. This is a cottage I would go back to....(and I dont always feel that way.)

Lovely property stay Exceptionally clean The welcome hamper was a lovely touch Hot tub amazing Log burner great on a chilly night Garden Area fab for the dogs Nice area for dog walks Pub down road with friendly staff but a tad overpriced for meals
-
"Beautiful garden, lovely cottage, great facilities - including the fabulous hot tub!"
Ideal location for exploring Northumberland.
-
"We enjoyed our stay at Crag View especially as we had some good weather so that we could use the hot tub, which was nice and clean."
We found the cottage was a little tired and could do with a woman’s touch. It’s very masculine. It was, though, comfortable and that’s the important thing. The garden is good and secure for dogs. We also liked the off road parking. There is no where to dry hair, which is difficult. A great centre to discover the areas treasures.
-
"Lovely property."
Very cosy and clean. Great hot tub after being out exploring all the beautiful coastline surrounding it. Shop and pub near We had a great holiday. The garden is enclosed but the road that the cottage sits on is really busy all day and night with lorries passing. Lovely place to stay would recommend
-
"This is an amazing property located in a great area."
I love coming here to relax. we have booked again for Christmas.
-
"Lovely stay in this well maintained cottage, beautiful surprise welcome basket."
Cottage really clean and contained everything we needed for our stay. Owners really helpful. Surrounding scenery beautiful and local pub does lovely food and very welcoming. Lots to do in the area but definitely need a car .
-
"Absolutely loved our stay at crag view - as did our two Labradors."
Perfect for exploring the beautiful scenery, we managed trips to hareshaw linn waterfall, warkworth beach, kielder water, simonside and Hadrian’s wall. The local pub was perfect. The cottage itself was cosy, comfy beds, safe garden for the dogs while we relaxed in the hot tub and a nice big fridge/freezer to stock up. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise too. Will definitely be back.
-
"Fantastic cottage, exceptionally clean and spacious."
Welcome pack as good as any we’ve ever had and the hot tub was a massive hit. Great pub and walks on the doorstep. Would highly recommend.
-
"Crag view is a lovely house and as appears on the booking."
Great location for sight seeing lots of things around to do. Pub and shop within walking distance. Only a small shop so you would need to get things in elsewhere. Pub served fantastic food. Lots of walks great for dogs around too. House was clean, really warm and comfortable. Hot tub was great enjoyed watching the stars in it. Only down side could do with more cleaning products being available otherwise fantastic stay.
-
"Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location , it so exceeded our expectations , the hot tub was an excellent addition and the kids loved it ."
Northumberland is a fantastic place and will will definitely be back
-
"We had a very restful weekend at this lovely cottage."
It is well-equipped, very warm and we made good use of the hot tub. The enclosed rear garden was great for our dog too. We enjoyed a Sunday lunch at the nearby Bay Horse pub, and the post office is very handy for supplies. A lovely visit that we hope to repeat next year sometime.
-
"A delightful cottage with a secure garden and a fab hot tub."
It's so well situated for visiting places. The wood burner was great when it was chilly. A curtain across the front door would add to that cosy feeling. We used the rear door and kept the front door locked as the road is quite fast, but really quiet in the evening. The A68 is a great road to drive. Lots of walks directly from the cottage, starting just behind the pub.
-
"Lovely presented cottage, the welcome pack was fabulous."
Great communication with the owner prior. The hot tub was a hit, the village pub is a gem. Fab cottage. Just to note for future guests items such as washing up liquid etc are not provided, this wasn’t a problem. Fab walks in local area. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Be aware the cottage is on a busy A road, so kids and dogs need to be supervised when you open the front door."
However, road noise is not a big issue. The local pub is excellent and offers a discount to those staying at Crag View. The owners provided a very generous welcome pack, although we would have happily swapped a tube of Pringles for an extra toilet roll!
-
"Cottage was very comfortable and clean."
There are some welcome additions, such as the hot tub and I loved having the slow cooker, so you could come home to a prepared meal. The sun room overlooking the garden was lovely. There is a pub within walking distance and the post office/shop, a few doors away was useful if you suddenly ran out of something and didn't want to travel to the nearest small town. Stunning walks on the doorstep. A few additions would make this 5 star, providing robes for the hot tub, providing cleaning products, (which most people replace as they use them up), and a few extras in the kitchen, (such as toast rack, measuring jug, butter dish and plastic storage tubs). We enjoyed our stay and are certain anyone else would too.
-
"Lovely cottage and garden."
We were not aware that the busy road was so close to the cottage. So we expected a more quiet place.
-
"Fantastic, comfortable well appointed cottage in such a beautiful area."
The hot tub and garden was a real bonus. A real home from home to come back to each day. Thank you!
-
"Beautifully maintained cottage with a lovely enclosed rear garden perfect if you have a dog."
Ideally located within a short walk of a great pub serving good food every evening with very welcoming staff. Hosts provided a very generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Bed extremely comfortable and we were not disturbed by any traffic noise. Lounge area had plenty of seating and as the accommodation was on one level we had no concern about our dog trying to go upstairs.
-
"This was a return visit to this lovely cottage in this lovely area, we can't fault it."
This time we met the owner who is friendly and helpful.
-
"Had a lovely get away from civilisation."
Very comfy and relaxing holiday thank you.
-
"A real “home from home “ cottage, we shall return."
Highly recommended.
-
"We had the most wonderful stay at Crag View for our mini moon."
The cottage itself is finished to a really high standard, and the hot tub and garden is gorgeous. The area is super cute, and is a really fantastic location to explore Northumberland. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. We loved it
-
"Exactly as advertised, very clean and all the amenities you could need."
Hot tub a big hit with the family!
-
"Perfect cottage for a peaceful retreat and base for exploring beautiful countryside."
Cottage beautiful and homely, couldn't have been made better. Welcome pack left by owners was very generous and filled with luxury foodstuffs. Thank you
-
"My wife is asmatic, on entering the cottage she immediately became breathless due to the number of air diffusers, we immediately removed the and she quickly recovered."
This apart our stay was very enjoyable, the cottage is clean and has everything you need. People have mentioned traffic noise but to be honest, A, look where its located! B, it is hardly disturbing, and from evening very little traffic. The hot tub is lovely and a relaxing way to end the day. Overall we had a lovely relaxing week and will certainly revisit.
-
"Lovely cosy cottage in a quiet location."
Nice walks, great little local pub and plenty places to visit nearby. Will definitely return and would highly recommend
-
"The welcome pack was great but it would have been helpful if some basic cleaning items like a couple of dishwasher tablets and some washing up liquid had also been left."
-
"We had a lovely stay at Crag View and will definitely be returning - we rarely visit the same place twice so that says it all!"
The cottage was clean, well equipped and the furniture is so comfortable. Even struggled to get out of bed some mornings to explore the beautiful Northumberland, it was that cosy. Hot tub was so relaxing after long days out and well maintained by Paul who popped by every morning to check the water quality. The pub down the road, literally a 2 minute walk, is great. Very friendly, including dog friendly, and the food really good. Loved every minute of our stay and will be booking again in the near future. Thank you!

"Lovely welcome pack , Very clean and comfortable Loved the Hot Tub"
-
"The welcome pack was very much appreciated as the nearest supermarket would be in Hexham, nothing really local."
The living area was clean and tidy and slightly unusual in layout with the toilet- bathroom being furthest away from the bedrooms. The outside paved area was uneven and slightly slippery path from the conservatory to the decked area due to moss and residue from the trees. The main concern outside was the uneven pathway due to what looked like tree roots raising the paving slabs.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay in an immaculately clean and welcoming cottage which was well equipped and very comfortable."
The welcome pack was one of the best we have experienced and I must say the information pack left with where to go and what to do was great. The hot tub was maintained daily, but we were not disturbed at all by the owners. Overall everything was very good and I would recommend this cottage as a restful retreat within easy reach of all the lovely areas of Northumberland.
-
"The cottage was perfectly positioned to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Northumberland."
It was a very comfortable and we relaxed from day 1. Hot Tub was great after a good walk & the garden was a perfect sun trap as we had a very hot sunny week. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning
-
"The property is really lovely Laura & Paul provide excellent communication and present the Cottage to a very high Standard."
The little garden and Hot tub are an additional gem. The welcome pack is beyond doubt the best we’ve ever had! The hosts are on hand whenever you need them and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent Hosts 5⭐️ Our only suggest would be to state in the Facilities that The “Smart TV” only provides Apps and has no basic channels live. You get used to it but it gives clarity to prospective clients.
-
"We have just come back from a week at Crag View and would echo what others have said about the cottage being both delightful and comfortable."
The large, homely living room was lovely, and the kitchen was superbly equipped. The hot tub was a real treat at the end of the day, and spotlessly clean, whilst the secure enclosed garden was perfect for our small dog. That said, we were unprepared for (and not used to) the noise from the A68; HGV’s during the week and motorbikes at the weekend. For that reason, we will not be returning. If this cottage were away from the road, it would have been a 5 star review because everything else was just perfect. When we complained to Sykes that the photographs of "views across the fields" were a bit misleading as they cut off the road, the representative rather (un)helpfully said that it was our own fault for not doing our homework as the listing gives a link to Google Maps. So, don't be like us, do your homework. In our defence, our original booking somewhere else was cancelled by Sykes and Crag View was our only alternative option at short notice. If you don't mind road noise you will love this cottage.
-
"What a wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage."
Really enjoyed our stay couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be returning in the future.
-
"We opened the front door and we all just stood there and said Wow!"
! Beautiful cottage, lovely welcome package, had everything we needed. Loved the hot tub. 10/10 :)
-
"Lovely cottage, had everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable."
Would definitely recommend.
-
"Had a fantastic holiday."
Cottage is perfect! Very generous welcome pack. Every home comfort you can think of provided.
-
"Fantastic stay."
Like home from home and in such a lovely location too. After walking in the day then hot tub in the evening followed by sitting around the log burner was a perfect day. This was February, I bet it’s even more fantastic through Spring and Summer. We would 100% return and recommend.
-
"This is a lovely cottage renovated to a very high standard."
The main bedroom is incredibly comfy, the hot tub was perfect after a long walk. The property is toddler friendly as it's mainly all on one level and carpeted. The owners were also incredibly friendly and quick to respond to any queries we had.
-
"Fabulous cottage, hot tub amazing after a long walk."
Really comfy bed. Local pub 600 yds away love dogs and do food and you get 10% off if you tell them you are visiting the cottage. Great walks with dogs nearby. Loved it will definitely visit again.
-
"I have been in many cottages around the country and this one is up there with the best of them."
Fantastic we will be back
Thank you Peter hope to see you again Property Owner
-
"Idyllic cottage in a very peaceful village."
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - especially stargazing in the hot tub.
-
"We stayed the week before Christmas and loved it."
Spotlessly clean, well equipped and above all, warm and comfortable. The photos on the website don't do it justice. The welcome hamper was very generous and thoughtful, the stove fire was a real highlight and the jacuzzi was a real luxury. If you want relaxation and a chance to unplug from the world, with a friendly pub less than 100m from your door, come here.
-
"Excellent cottage one of the best we have stayed in."
Everything you could need provided for. Hot tub was a treat. Lovely welcome pack which we really enjoyed. Maybe if you could have normal telly that would have been nice. Would definitely consider returning.
-

The property is superb our one suggestion would be to add a hook on the back of the bedroom door, we had no power for 3 days and the owners looked after us superbly well many thanks again
-
"Fabulous cottage well maintained and everything we needed"
-
"Amazing cosy cottage in a lovely location, very close to Northumberland National Park, and a good base for visiting Kielder Water & Forest and the Northumberland coast."
The cottage and garden were perfect for our two dogs and we absolutely loved the added luxury of the wood burner and hot tub. Everything was spotlessly clean and the welcome hamper was a lovely thoughtful addition too. Thank you very much for an amazing stay!
-
"Lovely clean and cosy cottage !"
! Owner very helpful and the welcome pack was a lovely touch . Definitely plan to return.
-
"Very helpful and friendly owners"
-
"Fantastic cottage in a great area for local walks."
-
"A lovely cottage with everything we needed for a great week away."
Kitchen particularly well equipped for cooking meals. Hot tub was amazing,enjoyed going in it after spending a day walking and sightseeing. Great the garden is secure for dogs so no need to worry about them escaping whilst relaxing in the garden and hot tub. A great base for exploring Northumberland.
-
"This is a very comfortable cottage, everything you need is here."
We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the comfy beds. Welcome pack was a nice thought. We’d definitely recommend and would stay again.
-
"Owners friendly, welcome pack a lovely gesture."
-
"The cottage was fabulous - very clean, comfortable and there was everything we needed for our stay."
The welcome pack was an unexpected and lovely added bonus. I loved everything about this cottage and we made use of the hot tub every night. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this cottage
-
"A tranquil stay in a beautiful location."
Easy access to all areas of Northumberland. The cottage has all necessary facilities including a fantastic hot tub for a relaxing stay.
-
"From the moment we opened the front door of the cottage we were blown away."
Entry into a very large living room with modern furniture and a big inglenook fireplace with log burner. The kitchen is newly fitted, with all the mod cons and kitchenware that you could hope for. Bedrooms were clean and well fitted, although we only used the main bedroom. King size bed (very comfy), fitted wardrobes, iron and board, hairdryer, Hoover all provided. Bedding and towels provided. Garden was neat and tidy and we made full use of the hot tub and chimnea. Hot tub was serviced daily by the owner, who is a really friendly guy. All logs/kindling provided. Can’t forget to mention the welcome pack on arrival with tea/coffee/sugar/biscuits and a bottle of fizz (and a bottle of milk in the fridge). Our dogs loved it, and the garden being fully walled means the garden is really secure. We will definitely be back to Crag View again. Highly recommended.
-
"Good location for the all the places about"
-
"Excellent base from which to explore the peaceful surrounding countryside."
Great value for money. Our expectations were high and we were not disappointed.
-
"Cottage was great, the only downfall was the TV."
You cant get normal tv it all has to be downloaded. A glove for the wood burner would also be good.
-
"Ideal place for a relaxing getaway."
-
"The hot tub was brilliant, the log burner was very cosy, the owners were friendly and helpful."
Everything was provided for us, including Netflix which we did'nt know about until we arrived. We loved the cottage and would recommend it to anyone who wants to escape city life for a week or two.
-
"Great place to stay and relax around beautiful scenery."
It would have been useful having the owners contact details because there were a few things that we would have liked to check out and it can take a lengthy time to go through Sykes. The owner was very welcoming and helpful.
-
"Enjoyed the comfortable cottage, and the hot tub, but cottage lacked basic amenities which I felt was not acceptable given the price point for the week - especially the fact that there was no hand soap provided in the time of a pandemic."
Also, almost every item of cutlery and crockery that we pulled out of cupboards required to be cleaned before use. Loved the location, private garden and comfy bed, but felt the cleanliness and amenities could have been better.
-
"Fantastically comfortable cottage."
Very clean and had everything we needed. Enjoyed the hot tub to relax in after a day outdoors.
-
"This was a lovely cottage, well maintained and equipped."
Very Nice welcome pack. Lovely spacious lounge area. great jacuzzi, which we used at least once a day after cycling, running and walking. Wish we had booked two weeks
