Excellent as always, our 6th visit. My only comment is the lack of recycling bins, as they are evident around the village.

We’ve stayed at Corner House 2.5times!!! First time we were 2 days into a 1 weeks stay when Boris told us to ‘stay at home’ - sadly not at Corner House 🤣.Absolutely LOVE it here. The village is so friendly and set in a beautiful setting, locals chatty and love the little village shop.The welcome pack is AMAZING - beautifully presented and tasty!As for Corner House - we just feel so at home here. Quirky, tastefully decorated, beautiful floors, 2 wood burners, very well equipped and gorgeous spacious rooms yet still has that ‘cosy cottage’ feeling.A special thankyou to whoever cleans the place as it was spotless.We have very relaxing week and will most definitely be back.Thankyou for sharing your gorgeous home with us 🏡 Many thanks, Jane, Graham & Henry the Bedlington ***
