Everything you need in the cottage for a comfortable stay - home from home. Happy cottage and village so dog friendly. Loads of walks around village on days you don't fancy driving although are buses to nearby towns. Would definitely recommend

"The cottage is in a lovely friendly village."
Victoria cottage has everything you need for a self catering cottage holiday. Ideally situated for visiting the area.
There is a strong small of damp masked by air fresheners as you walk in the front door.
The steps into the garden are quite deep and steep and would benefit from a hand rail.
PLEASE be aware of the wood shed roof which is easily accessible from decking at top of steps, it can be easily stepped up on by adventurous children or dogs. Our dog did that and fell off onto the small picket fence causing serious wounds he had to undergo an emergency operation costing us £900 and a lot of stress and worry. Spoiling the holiday. We made Victoria, the owner aware of our concerns. Hopefully action will be taken to make this area safe for children and dogs.

"Very well equipped cottage including an air fryer (first one seen in a holiday cottage)."
Blessed by perfect weather and so used table and chairs at top of garden, although rather difficult to get to if you are old. The conservatory is a lovely addition and we spent much of our time there. Only minor complaint is the lack of hand hold in the shower which is essential for old people such as me! However, a splendid cottage in a lovely area.

"An ideal base for exploring this area."
Norham is a beautiful, peaceful village, with a variety of walking opportunities - perfect for dog owners. The cottage is clean and heating works efficiently. The living room and conservatory are both impressive and spacious, with one window framing Norham castle. Both bedrooms are smaller but adequate. The twin room is an internal room with no window. Various levels make the garden interesting, and so long as the side gate is bolted, it's totally enclosed for children or dogs. At night the castle is lit up and looks amazing from the upper garden. . We found inside and outdoors to be well equipped, although a floodlight for the garden would be useful on darker evenings. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and found plenty to do in this lovely region.

"A really comfortable and spacious cottage."
We stayed in the depths of winter in a very cold and frosty spell and the house remained beautifully warm at all times. We much enjoyed reading the suggestions book, it seems that some residents like to moan about just about everything! It must be a little disheartening when you have such a great property. I hope we improved the cottage by our stay and repaired a few of the little coat hooks in the hallway.

We fed the birds which were abundant in the lovely enclosed garden which was enjoyed by both us and the dog
The history of Norham village is amazing. Such a lovely quiet village which has seen such violence over the years. We did the garden trail which introduced us to more areas in the village and lots of lovely people. The church was amazing. We recommend this cottage and village as a good base for visiting Northumberland

"Lovely cottage in the small beautiful village of Norham."
We arrived late Friday afternoon for our week stay in May and found the cottage bright and clean with much more space than appears in the photos. The kitchen had all the necessary items and work surface to prepare a packed lunch, make a simple meal and the essential cuppa. We enjoyed our breakfast sitting in the conservatory watching the birds in the back garden, which also gets the morning sun, so is a bright room to be in. On an evening, after walking all day we relaxed in the living room which has a cracking view through the side window of Norham castle, which sits on the hill.The shower was adequate and the bed was comfortable. Great cottage for a couple and their dog.

The house had everything you needed and more.The garden was a joy and having two springers who love to explore this was just ideal. This cottage is really like home from home and had a lovely atmosphere, where you really could relax.We know the surrounding area very well and have visited almost yearly for thirty odd years but Norham is a really great place as you have coastline and countryside within a ten minute drive. So would recommend this little gem of a holiday home, and would add that the owners should be very proud of what they offer their guests.

"This was our second visit to this cottage and we have booked to go again next year - it is always spotlessly clean on arrival."
We love it as it has a completely enclosed garden which makes life very easy with the dog and the village of Norham is great, lovely pub, shop, butchers and bakers and locals very friendly. The conservatory was perfect in the weather this time and the cottage is well furnished. Our only negative point would be that we (and other guests) have made suggestions around simple additions to the kitchen equipment which would be low cost but would make a big difference and these haven’t been acted upon. We also really appreciate the provision of a BBQ, something which has been withdrawn at this cottage. This wouldn’t stop us using this cottage but it would be beneficial to not have to take own BBQ, cafetière and large pan! Though we purchased a pan and left it there this time…..

The village is so quiet, yet a hive of activity with a great convenience store with a friendly, helpful owner. The butchers is also fantastic and we enjoyed fillet steak and their homemade pies are delicious! Everyone in the village had a smile and good morning for you and it really made us feel at home. The village is kept clean and tidy, village green mowed twice while we were there - all in all a GEM of a place.
The cottage was all we could have expected and more. Comfy beds, clean on arrival. No problems at all and the garden was dog friendly - totally safe and soooo large Pippa had a great time playing on their massive lawn. We had a few communications with Vicky the owner and she always replied promptly and was extremely helpfull with all our queries. Goes without staying we are booking again for next year!
