  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.

  The washing machine and dish washer where absolutely filthy.

  The dog hair in the washing machine was really bad, I had put the washer on a rinse and then wiped the seal, drum and glass to remove a lot of dog hair, I ended up doing 2 further washes with wiping inbetween the seal, glass and drum until it was clean and ready to use. . The dish washer smelt absolutely awful, I had the clean the filter which was absolutely rammed with food and had the really soak and clean the filter with the sink brush and do a full hot wash with the dish washer empty to get it usable again. The dishwasher could do with topping up with salt and rinse aid as we didn't bring any and would help keep it smelling.nicer. We didn't bring our dog in the end but would of liked use of a vacuum to keep the rug clean and clean up the previous dogs hair. The cottage is beautiful and in an ideal location and facilities in the cottage were great. Ample of games and garden furniture cushions and etc.. outside a tap bonus We will defo come back in the future.

  Hello. The location of the property is fantastic.

  The property itself (building layout and design) is ideal, lots of space for us all in nice big rooms. Plenty of hot water and no issues with heating. Garden fantastic. The property was not clean. I cleaned the toilets myself and they hadn’t been cleaned since the previous guests. The carpet upstairs hadn’t been hoovered. The living room rug was covered in dog hair that wasn’t from our dog. A lot of dog hair downstairs, all over the floors, under sofas, dining table etc. Dirty windows inside and outside. Our 8 month old baby dropped some yoghurt on the kitchen floor, I cleaned it up with a baby wipe and the wipe was filthy, so the hard floors had definitely not been cleaned for a long time. Dirty bins, mouldy chopping boards and wooden spoons in the kitchen. Previous guests rubbish under sofas and down the side of the single bed. It really let our holiday down and we won’t return because of the cleanliness.
