• "Cosy, very affordable cottage with everything you might need."

  Log burner was great and was a lovely warm cottage for the autumn.

• "We enjoyed a comfortable week at Wordsworth Cottage BUT felt it needed some tlc in certain areas."

  The outside space certainly needs attention and a good 'tidy up' . The mattress definitely needs replacing. Some drawer fronts were loose (and had been mentioned months ago in the comments book). Spiders web in bathroom. Lots of the curtains need rehanging as the runners have come away. Minor things which didn't detract from us having a good week, but could have elevated our responses above. However there was a generous welcome pack which we appreciated.

• "Ideal location to explore Northumbria."

  Comfortable cottage in pretty village. Good contact with owner. Cottage was not as clean as we would have liked. Previous visitors had forgotten bread and cake in the bread bin which was all mouldy! Cobwebs in the kitchen over the clock had been mentioned by a previous visitor in May, and were still there on our arrival. Kitchen worktops were dirty and needed cleaning. Carpets needed a good hoover all through the cottage. Dead insects were seen on some window sills and areas near skirting boards needed a good clean, particularly in the lounge. We cleaned the areas we used, like in the kitchen, but not others. Bathroom was clean, with a good selection of towels and shower was efficient. Everywhere was well equipped - kitchen and lounge. Bed in main bedroom was huge - however in our opinion, needed a new mattress. We were left a welcome basket of scones, home made jam, biscuits and milk, plus coffee bags, hot chocolate sachets and tea, which was gratefully received. Local shops met all our needs, although the corner shop was eye-wateringly expensive. Fabulous cakes and snacks in another, with a small cafe attached. The Quiche Lorraine slices were gorgeous. To conclude, we had an amazing week visiting places all around the county, and were comfortable in the cottage.

  Pleased you enjoyed the village and area! Again, Judith, my apologies for the cleaning oversights. I live nearby and would have been very responsive to your comments and remedied them immediately had I been given the opportunity. Property Owner

• "Cob webs in kitchen over clock and above sliding door."

  Although the double bed is huge and inviting is also uncomfortable. Also the tin opener did not work we had to buy a new one from the corner shop at great expense (£1.99) . The settees are uncomfortable as well. On the whole we had great time and will be back to Northumberland again somewhere!!!

  An initial basket of logs and everything needed supplied. A small repair needed to the shower mid-stay was immediately responded to and fixed quickly by a professional. Sad to leave. Staying here highly recommended.

• "We loved our stay ."

  We were so grateful for the wonderful welcome pack. Very thoughtful. The cottage is homely and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you would want and need.(except a colander) ha ha. Great bed. I have to say the light on the landing blasting in my eyes was uncomfortable as it blinds you for a second , but don't know what the answer would be for seeing the raised landing in the dark . Northumberland is beautiful and so much to do and see. Never get fed up and the cottage is perfect for getting around. Best wishes Pam.

• "We had a lovely week in this cottage, despite storm Babet raging havoc all around ."

  When we arrived it was just starting to get dark and the lights were on in the kitchen, which made a really welcoming sight, there was milk, bread, cake, wine and a basket with tea, coffee, biscuits and sweets - wow I have stayed in lots of cottages, but never had such a generous welcome gesture. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped, warm, very comfortable throughout, including a huge comfy bed. It is right in the middle of the village with easy access to the lovely places that Northumberland has to offer. Parking on the road directly outside the cottage was never an issue. A really good bus link to nearby Morpeth or on to Newcastle is right on the doorstep. Pam, the owner provided so much useful information - I needed to see a GP and had all the details necessary to make this happen. This cottage was a real ‘home from home’ and with so much more to see in this lovely area, I hope we will be back again in the future. Many thanks Pam for your hospitality.

  How lovely, thank you! I know your holiday wasn't quite how you planned but I'm glad the cottage kept you cosy and the village GP staff helped you heal enough to enjoy bus rides in the floods and gales! And you saw enough of our lovely county to want to return - you will be very welcome! Property Owner

• "Lovely cosy cottage very clean, with everything you could need."

  We loved the welcome goodies, especially the cheese bread. Thank you Pam. It was in a good area for getting around Northumberland. We were lucky the weather was kind to us, even sat on the beach in Alnmouth . I would have scored higher but found the beds a bit uncomfortable for us. We were sad to leave.

  Thanks for the mostly great comments Mary! I'm glad to know about the beds, though I know this is a subjective thing and I have had guests say that they are 'too comfortable' ie too soft. If you can suggest improvement please text me, as I really want to know. If I could have made this better during your stay, I wish you'd said - it's important to sleep well to get max fun ftom a holiday! Take care, Pam. Property Owner

  The log burner was wonderful to be able to put your feet up in front of in the evening, after a day exploring the area. The Welcome pack was much appreciated and Pam, the host, really cares that you have a good time. There is plenty to do. We did a lovely walk into Rothbury via the Anglers Arms and caught the bus back, also went to Amble by bus to have a fish platter at the Boat House. Drove to kielder water, Wallington Hall and Bamburgh Castle too. Longframlington has 2 pubs and a lovely bakery and tearoom along with a handy corner shop so the cottage is in a brilliant location. Although no allocated parking, we had no problems with parking outside the cottage during our stay and the bus stops in front of the church, which is next door.

• "The house smelt damp and musty."

  The crockery smelt musty because the kitchen cupboards smelt musty. This was even though the housekeeper/cleaner had left all the windows open. There was a washing machine (and pegs!) but no washing line or clothes airer to put wet washing on. We found silverfish crawling on the bedroom walls. It was a bit cluttered with too much furniture. The location was okay and the bed was comfy though.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you had a few issues whilst away if you had brought any problems to our attention the owner would have been round straight away to rectify these issues.There is a retractable washing line outside, sorry you missed it, I have also purchased a clothes airer based on your comment.There is background heating in the cottage so it is warm and dry and the mustiness was due to a drain issue which has been sorted.We are pleased you found the bed comfy and enjoyed the location Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely, comfortable and homey with a well equipped kitchen and a beautiful master bedroom."

  However, it needed a bit of TLC, such as making sure the washing machine was in good working order (it wasn't) and that the key to the back door worked (it didn't). In their defense, the owners were very responsive to the small problems that cropped up and also went to the trouble of mailing on bits and pieces that we'd left in a dresser drawer. Overall a wonderful stay.

• "On the website it does not mention parking for cars."

  At this property parking was on a very busy road outside the house. This meant that at times it was impossible to park as there was a shop and hairdressers next door and inconsiderate people parked there. Also it was used for parking for someone who worked in the pub across the road junction. This person would park all day. The parking was dangerous because of the large number of cars, lorries and buses that passed. If we had known that parking was on a busy main road we would not have booked this particular property. The information on the website was misleading by omitting this piece of information.
