• "The cottage was clean and warm with all the facilities you need away from home."

  It's central to most places, close to the sea, the city of Newcastle and the moors. It was a lovely place to celebrate my 65th birthday!

  Thank you for your kind feedback and we hope to welcome you back to continue exploring the area. Property Owner

• "A very nice cottage in a tranquil setting but just 2 minutes off the A697 and 10 minutes from Morpeth."

  Just about everything you might need has been provided and there is plenty of room. The bed is comfortable, as is the bathroom and walk-in shower. Although the cottage is attached to the farmer's house, it is self contained and feels private. There is no intrusion from the farmer or family. We were there during adverse weather conditions (cold with exceptional rainfall) but there is plenty of heating to make the cottage warm and cosy, and we were very snug. Things to be aware of: - the sofa is quite low with soft cushions, so can be a challenge for those of us of advancing years. - the water tends to pool on the floor of the walk in shower room, so care is needed to avoid flooding the whole bathroom. Overall a very pleasant stay.

  Thank you for your comments. Just to let you know that we have changed the sofa which has a higher seat. I’m surprised that the water pooled in the shower room. We used this for a year during the house build and didn’t have a problem but I’ll investigate it. Property Owner

• "The directions were spot on, no way would we have found it otherwise."

  Nice welcome greeting from the owner, Jimmy. The drive up to the cottage and the grounds were beautiful. The views out of the lounge window over the hills were stunning. The cottage was immaculate with everything one could want in the way of home comforts right down to to the welcome pack of organic milk, cookies, tea, coffee etc. The cottage is in easy reach of the A1, ideal to get to attractions like Alnwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island to name but a few. When we are in the area again High Barns will definitely be our first choice.

  Thank you for your great review and we look forward to welcoming you back to High Barns. Property Owner

• "Lovely place, beautiful views."

  Jimmy the host was very friendly and helpful. The shower is fantastic! Although this accommodation is attached to the owner's home this was never an issue, and we were made very welcome. An ideal base for exploring the area.

• "Loved everything about the cottage."

  Great layout, spotlessly clean, well equiped kitchen (made use of the crockpot), comfy sofa, great views from the lounge/kitchen diner. Bed was super comfy, plenty of clothes storage. Bathroom/wet room was great and the shower was utter bliss. Couldn't fault anything. Would definitely recommend and we would love to return. Thank you.

• "Superb holiday property."

  This property was spotlessly clean, very comfortably furnished, quiet, and had excellent views. It’s very rare to stay in holiday accommodation that ticks every box, but this is one of the exceptional few. We thoroughly recommend it, it’s first class.

• "It was a very comfortable cottage, clean, well laid out, with everything that you could need and it was warm even during a period of snow."

  The location was quiet, the views were fantastic but it was only a short drive to a really nice pub. The owners were friendly and welcoming and we had a great stay.

• "This is a clean and well equipped cottage in a peaceful area."

  We were impressed by the range of guide books to this lovely part of Northumberland which the owners are understandably deeply attached to.The bed was comfortable and the bathtoom was spacious with an excellent shower. As the weather was rather wet during our stay, we were glad of the smart televison which enabled us to watch the on demand channels. The only criticism we could reasonably make was that we found the sofa to be rather uncomfortable and it shoud be replaced with a better one or with two armchairs.

• "What a lovely holiday unexpected welcome with a few local products inc."

  local organic milk, tea and coffee for our first cuppa! Miles from other buildings and people, yet our friendly and approachable landlord Jimmy and his wife Kirsty were always available if required, full of local knowledge and recommendations or visits Oh and of course their lovely sheepdog, Meg Idyllic west facing sheep fields and hillside views from the spacious and stylish living room. Similar views from the bedroom. What sunsets and evening Venus views! What a lovely big green interesting, and blossomed garden in the front with its table and benches facing East and South for breakfast or lunches in the sunshine. Varied bird life often seen and heard. Everything throughout the newly stone built cottage was spanking new and clean and stylishly designed All mod cons and machines we needed were available. We didn’t need a washing machine but wondered if other visitors might, although the property was only advertised for two people . However we noted launderettes were available in local towns To top it all Northumberland was even up to providing unexpectedly almost daily and daylong big blue skies and sunshine until late evening in May/early June Highly recommended

  Pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage and the open spaces Northumberland has to offer. Guests do have access to a washing machine upon request in the neighbouring garage. Property Owner

  Jimmy and Kirsty excellent hosts, Jimmy has some amazing tales. Wild ponies, sheep, kestrals, owls, and an amazing woodland/moorland walk. Local pub has great food and cask beers, local shop very friendly and helpful. Easy drive to Morpeth, (although getting out again was a nightmare due to road closures). We will be back.

  Thank you for your review, pleased you enjoyed your stay and the local area. I hope you are able to come back and see us to explore more of the area. Lovely to meet you. Property Owner

• "Excellent property for 2 adults consisting of living/diner/kitchen, shower/toilet and a double bedroom each overlooking the working sheep farm fields through large picture windows in the living room & bedroom."

  Comfortable bed, plenty of pans & equipment for kitchen use including spare food containers and cookware in the drawer unit under the tv. Good cooker, microwave, hob, fridge & freezer also a washing machine available in the adjoining building. Freeview & internet access on the tv, radio & audio unit with ability to connect original style iPod & other sound devices. The shower room is modern and simple to use with plenty of almost instant hot water throughout the property. A 7Kwh type 2 connector with 10meter cable car charger available just over the wall which is controlled by the owners without any issues, fair price charged per Kwh based on what they pay which is obviously changeable at the moment. The pictures shown are all accurate but the property is even better in real life. Accurate directions are sent on how to get there but you may find a search for “High Barns” or “The Lamb Man” will find then easily on Apple and Google maps. There was a lovely welcome pack to make a cuppa after our long journey along with a personal introduction from our excellent hosts with information about the property and the area. Plenty to do in the local area at commercial, National Trust & English Heritage properties along with varied moorland, countryside and wonderful beaches. We stayed for 10 days, were busy every day and still needed more time.

  Thank you and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Lovely to meet you. Property Owner
