This is the fourth time staying here and found the owners most welcoming. The house is ideal fpor those with dogs, the owners recognise that there are some issues but as it was the end of a a very busy summer they assured us they have plans to deal with the issues.

Good size property with lovely views and location was excellent for touring the area however the property itself was very tired and in need of refurbishment. Better attention to housekeeping and some basic maintenance is required. General cleanliness was below our expectations.

A clean and comfortable cottage with lovely views across the hills. The Cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. A large kitchen with a dining area and a living room with comfortable armchairs. Three bedrooms, one double, one twin and a single. Bath with shower over.Based on a working farm with own parking and about 2K out of the town of Alnwick.
