"We really enjoyed our stay in this quiet location."
It is very dog friendly and has great outdoor spaces. We loved the open fire. It is as comfortable as expected but we did feel some of the knives need to be replaced as they were blunt. Some of the downstairs carpets are also coming to the end of their life. Saying all of that we would stay again and will look forward to it.

"The cottage was very clean and comfortable."
Garden was very secure for Our Dogs. A welcome pack would have been nice instead of a small jug of milk as we traveled 8 hours. The garden hose was faulty so was hard to wash the back yard. Angela the Neighbour was very nice and even took the rubbish bin out on collection day. We enjoyed our stay Thank you

"A lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings and a fantastic base to explore Northumberland."

"Very isolated but peaceful."
Excellent directions to find the cottage and where the keys were located Torch definitely needed outside as it was pitch black at night. Lovely garden. Lots of useful information that the owner provided in files. Plentiful supply of logs for the fire if needed. The cottage was very cosy. The only downside was on entering because the carpet up the stairs was threadbare. Some curtains required re hanging. Only minor issues and didn’t detract from our stay, although we did wonder what the rest of the cottage would be like on seeing the very shabby carpet on entry.

"A beautiful and cozy Victorian cottage."
A quiet location overlooking fields, not too far away from shops, pubs, takeaways and anything you may need. Ideally situated for visiting the coast or to the city of Edinburgh. All the information about the cottage regarding heating, TV, local information, walks etc were easily to hand. A great selection of books were available to read. A THOUGHLY RELAXING HOLIDAY

"Exactly as we hoped for."
Clean & tidy. Small touches which made the difference - jug of milk left in the fridge, toilet roll in the bathroom, washing up liquid in the kitchen, games, books & tv - an excellent home from home. Fenced garden for the dogs. The owners seemed to have thought things through. Anyone, with dogs, looking to holiday in the area, I could (& have already done so) recommend the property.

"We spent a week here in June with our dog and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The cottage was warm, spacious, quiet and comfortable with an actual enclosed garden for our dog !!!!. Often gardens say they are enclosed but they are not dog proof, this one was.
Two negatives, the duvet was a bit lumpy and a dvd player would have been useful as we don't have access to Netflix etc

"Beautiful holiday cottage - we and our dogs again loved staying here."
Unfortunately some of the conifer trees had been removed by tree surgeons - it would be great if new conifers could be planted - to aid screening from the large property behind the cottage (s).
We will return hopefully later in the year once more. Thank you for a great stay.

"Cosy cottage, great open fire with plenty of coal and wood."
Cafetière needed in kitchen
Mirror would be useful in twin room
Bedside light in twin room needs to be able to be turned on/off with switch on light, as inconvenient to operate it from socket.
Desk too large and not suitable for storing clothes. Chest of drawers would be better, and would free up space around double bed so a bedside table could be provided on both sides.

"Another relaxing stay at Briar Cottage."
The cottage has all the basics needed and the newly installed larger TV allowed us to sign into netflix, etc. The cosiness of the property meant we were well-insulated against the recent storms and were able to get out and about to enjoy local walks and food in the lulls between the wind and rain. Great watching the hares in the field and enjoyed a moonlight walk to take in the stars. Thanks again.

"We had a lovely week here."
It was a very cosy place with a great back garden.
It was an added bonus having free supply of coal and logs, very welcome.
The only negative thing about this cottage is the television was far too small, like a portable size. We literally couldn’t see the picture and unfortunately with it not being a smart tv, there was no accessibility to catch up tv or iplayer etc. I think if this was rectified, I’d thoroughly recommend Briars cottage.

"The cottage was ok, would benefit from a larger TV."
Furniture needs updating an old desk in the bedroom not perfect for storing clothes. Couldn’t let the little dogs in the garden they could get out through the gaps in the fence.

It was very well equipped and although we visited in the summer I was very impressed that it has oil central heating and an open fire. I am tempted to come back again in the winter as I imagine it would be really warm and cosy.
