  We booked Mill House but unfortunately storms meant we couldn’t stay there at the last minute.

  However the owner was able to put us in another property Shepherd’s House which was incredible! We couldn’t speak highly enough of the owner for moving us when we thought we would be having a cancellation. The property was outstanding! Better than the photos even, and the photos are great! We had a welcome hamper of essentials on arrival, spotlessly clean, such a well looked after, spacious, modern property that suited our 2 young families plus grandparents! It was really really nice! The bedrooms were really big, fitting a family of four in one of them on one side of the house! The pool table was great for our older children! The kitchen lounge space was amazing, with lovely rural views, huge windows letting in natural light, a lovely space to cook, chat and sit together! The extras details were lovely (eg) christmas trees and lights! It was very rural but there was everything close by we wanted to see; Bamburgh, Holy Island plus plenty of places to eat locally too. We had an excellent time there and couldn’t speak highly enough of the owners and their communication, and the property itself! So although the review isn’t directly about Mill House both houses were owned by the same person so I’m sure the other property would have been of the same high standard. Thank you for a memorable stay! It really was a beautiful property!

  This is the second time we have stopped at Mill House and were all excited about staying again.

  We are a family of 9 including two chidren. The Barn is very spacious with a large kitchen and lounge with plenty of seating and a snooker table at the other end. A downstairs toilet is very useful. Upstairs the bedrooms are all of a good size two of them en-suite and a large family bathroom as well as a utility room with washer and dryer. The hot water was plentiful. The property was very clean/ A welcome pack was left for us. There was everything that you could need in the kitchen a varied supply of pots and pans. Lots of magazines books games. Information on anything you are interested in. The Barn is very well situated for a lot of places. We went on the train from Berwick on Tweed to Edinburgh for the day, Eyemouth, Kelso races and Bamburgh Castle, Grace Darling Museum and the Church we also did a round walk around Norham Castle, walking on the English side of the River Tweed. We ate at the Black Bull in Lowick on two nights and another night in Wooller at Milan an italian. Both were delicious. Everything about the property description is true. We did meet the owner who was very nice. There are sheep all around the property which my grand daughters loved.

  Great house in a very quiet location.

  Plenty of hot water and super king size beds, The latter is a real bonus as so many holiday properties have standard doubles and/or uncomfortable beds. Facilities within the house are generally excellent but I haven’t given full marks as there was a dripping tap in the kitchen and small leak from a heated towel rail in one bedroom. The owner said their plumber was away which is why they hadn’t been fixed so I assume these issues have now been sorted. Other two issues were a lack of medium and small cooking trays/oven dishes and the fact that the water was brown which we assumed was because it came from a well. The water was drinkable but we ended up buying filtered water for drinking (though did use house water in the kettle and for cooking). The owner did leave a couple of bottles of water as they realised some people may find the brown colour unpalatable. But none of the issues listed would put us off going again. It really is a great place to stay - and the location is handy for lots of local attractions. The village is excellent with two pubs and a brilliant village shop selling local produce. Would throughly recommend this house.

  We had a lovely relaxing holiday in February at The Coach House, and could not fault the accommodation.

  The house was warm and welcoming and very comfortable, and we were amazed at the substantial welcome pack! The garden was perfect for our labrador - safe to let her mooch about on her own.The kitchen was pretty well equipped with everything we needed (though i admit we were more reheating rather than actually cooking) including a medium sized insulated cafetiere in which to brew some of the local Berwick roast coffee. Our host popped by a couple of times to check all was well and advised us on dog friendly beaches and eating out. Lowick is a great little village with two dog-friendly pubs and a well stocked shop with lovely fresh baked products, savouries and sweet. Very central and nowhere seemed very far away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only word of warning would be that February is before a lot of the local attractions open eg Alnwick Castle, so if you plan to go somewhere specific, check opening dates! We had a perfect week of relaxation and pottering around the area, and this whole holiday suited our 3 generations of ladies (and Lilly the dog!) perfectly. Thank you.

  The Coach House was perfect for our stay.

  My elderly parents were perfectly accommodated in the downstairs bedroom with en-suite. The layout of the downstairs area was perfect for us as we could decide wether to sit and watch TV, play games at the table or sit reading or chatting in the sunny entrance hall ‘sun room’. We chuckled about getting my elderly father on a ladder to clear the few cobwebs from the very top of the stove-pipe in the double height living area .. he’d have given it a go ( and we’d then we’d probably be reviewing A&E ,too!). The upstairs rooms were spacious and light with fabulous views. The Juliette balcony doors didn’t open - so it was a little hot as we were blessed with superb weather. Lowick is perfectly placed for Northumberland’s tourist attractions, ccastles, and beaches - and the border of Scotland is easily reached (within 20mins) for more activity ideas. The garden was lovely and the patio is a sun trap. Plenty of off street parking for at leas three cars. All in all, a fabulous find!
