Had a lovely stay at Fordson cottage. Enjoyed the peaceful setting and lovely local surrounding views. Good central base from which to get out and about from and explore Northumberland and Scotland. Loacal pub and restaurant just across the road from cottage, Locals very friendly and accommodating. Overall a great vacation. Dogs enjoyed going to the coastline, beach and forests nearby.
