  Fantastic property.

  Immaculately clean. Great house to meet with family and enjoy the wonderful northumberland countryside/beaches. The house was well equipped (although maybe another frying pan would be helpful) and had lovely touches like activity packs for the kids, welcome tray in the kitchen and information about the area and local attractions. The beds were very comfortable and although A1 is very close we were not disturbed during the night and slept very well. I wish the property details had mentioned the small single room with pull out bed was ground floor as we have a family member who is in a wheelchair and didn’t stay with us but could have if we had known this. Also the description didn’t mention a high chair was available for use and we did bring one - if we had known this it would have saved us some room in the car ! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a comfortable family holiday home and would have no hesitation in re booking again. Thank you.

  The house is wonderful and the beds and sofas and general space was super for our family.

  I have to mention a couple of things that I feel need improving 1) The crockery is so badly scratched that we did not want to eat our food on it - so we felt we had to buy some plates. 2) the saucepans are in a bad way the bottom of the pans are all worn and food caught on the pans and pans smoked every time we cooked. We had a lovely stay and it’s a perfect spot for a family - be aware the house is actually at the side of the A1 if noise bothers you. Also, I booked the house on the basis it had a study listed in the description - when we arrived there was no study . I was disappointed about this. Overall, a super house for a family stay in the glorious north east. The beds are super comfy, the heating comes on in the morning and late afternoon, and there is a lovey log burner if you want to use it. We stayed in winter so the heating was appreciated. It has a super family kitchen to sit in and a lovely sun room with space to sit. Thank you.

  We had a great time staying in the Mistal for our holiday and hope to be booking it again for next year.

  The cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need even poobags for our dog if needed. The owner kindly left biscuits and milk as well as a vase of flowers for our arrival which was nice. The property is central for coast and country and you can get to the border of Scotland too within a short drive. We were lucky with the weather too but the cottage is a real home from home should you require it in a village which is so quiet the children can play in the street. If you wish to get away from it all and live life in the countryside this is perfect but Alnwick is only a few miles away for all you might need. There is no garden at all here though so take note should you require dog space but plenty walks from the door.

  We had a lovely stay at Deanrise and will definitely book again.

  On arrival the key wasn’t located where it said on the key collection details. We quickly found it though in the outside toilet. The cottage was cold at first but we soon got the heating on and it warmed up quickly. The house is very clean and comfortable. The garden was immaculate and safe for our small dogs. Excellent countryside for walking the dogs. You can hear road noise from the A1 but it is minimal from indoors and didn’t bother us at all. The Cottage is in a very good position for shops and takeaways and central for visitors attractions. We absolutely loved the cottage and had the best holiday for a while.

  We had a fantastic family holiday at Deanrise.

  The property is a good size and nicely fitted out. My only comment would be that the small bedroom downstairs doesn’t really sleep 2 and there is no furniture in there other than the single bed with pullout under. This room ideally should be for 1 person. An outdoor washing line would have helped but there is a clothes horse. Although it he A1 is close by, it is screened by tall hedges and the double glazing means you don’t really notice it. The property is ideally situated for the coast, Cragside, villages. The local shop was sufficient and the nearby Indian restaurant was very good, but booking is essential.
