!), and that view across the hillsâ¦.Wow! Nice welcome touches with the goodie basket, local info, board games - and even bows on the toilet rolls! - but the best thing (given we had two toddlers) was being on the one level plus finding that all the doors, drawers and loo lids were âsoft-closingâ. Added to that a non-squeaky floor throughout - it made such a difference to us as individuals being up and about at different times. Everything really was of a high standard regarding comfort and decor and we all loved the local scenery pictures. Night lights in corridors very thoughtful, as were having flat-screens in every room - all a complete surprise. As I put in your visitor book âthe place did everything it says on the tinâ! Thank you.

We found this having been let down by a competitor's grubby place and therefore booked and arrived on the same day. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable sofas and beds and in a perfect location - it's so quiet! Very well equipped, 3 great bathrooms (2 ensuite) and a fabulous kitchen. Very close to Corbridge which is gorgeous with some great restaurants and close to the larger Hexham too. I very rarely say I will go back to a place, but this one I will.
