Things I wished I knew before going⦠The gate to the garden appeared broken and doesnât lock so not fully secure but my dogs didnât try to escape. The stairs are a bit of a nightmare as theyâre steep and slippy and thereâs no way of blocking them off (if going with dogs or small children I would advise taking your own stair gate to avoid accidents). The cottage does also get quite damp now the autumnal weather is here so opening the windows daily is a must!! Also the parking is across the road from the cottage as the lane is too narrow to park outside Overall this cottage is in the perfect location for exploring the area of Northumberland and with a few tweaks it would be amazing! It was very clean when I arrived and the shower room was great!

The location is just perfect and the cottage was clean and comfortable. The dogs highly recommended the large secure garden. We hope to visit again.

I have 3 girls, aged 6, 4 and 18 months and there was plenty of space in the living room and garden for them to enjoy themselves. The cottage is perfectly located and is only a short drive to most places. My only constructive feedback would be the curtains in the bedrooms hang low so we hung towels and blankets over the top to block the morning sunlight and the TV signal was poor but the DVD player was apt for the amount of time we actually spent indoors. I may also suggest the option of having stairgates may help, we brought our own to stop our youngest from climbing the stairs as they are located in the living room. Overall I would rate this cottage highly and would recommend to others.
