The house was clean, comfortable, and a lovely large space for family. We loved the pool table, which was the main reason our daughter wanted to visit!. There are many interesting things to do an easy drive away. We visited Berwick, Bambrough Castle, and the Ford and Etal Estate. Susie the host was very accommodating, friendly and quick to respond to our queries. We would be happy to recommend Shepherd's House.
