Shawdon Hill Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the secure, lovely garden. The location is convenient for exploring local attractions, though some mention road noise. A welcome gift adds a thoughtful touch, enhancing the overall experience.

Guests frequently commend the cottage for its cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'immaculately clean', indicating high standards of hygiene and upkeep.

The cottage's location is appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and the coast. However, some guests note the presence of road noise and a busy roadside, which slightly impacts the tranquillity.

Reviewers find the cottage comfortable, highlighting 'super comfy beds', 'very comfortable chairs, sofas', and a warm atmosphere, suggesting a high level of guest comfort.

The property is well-equipped, with mentions of large TVs, a large kitchen, and a laundry room. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as sticking drawers and a tricky TV, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.

Guests mention a welcome gift of wine and biscuits, which is a nice touch, though it's important to note that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.

  • Alex

    Gorgeous big space in the cottage and huge garden. Very modern and comfortable throughout and a well appointed kitchen.Despite being near the main road the house is so well insulated you can’t hear a thing. Great for a relaxing girls weekend and located perfectly for a potter around Rothbury or Alnwick.
