- spacious , comfortable and sparkling clean ! It was beautifully furnished and was very well set up with all that you would need . The location was really good , it was very close to lots of lovely places in Northumberland . The only point I would make is your website did not explain about the parking and had an old photo of where I presumed we would park . My husband has mobility problems and would have found it very difficult if the owners had not kindly sorted out some parking for us .
