The cottage looked lovely and festive on arrival and had a cute Christmas tree and little bits of decorations everywhere. The cottage was clean and had absolutely everything you could need or want. Whilst the cottage is compact, with patience you can happily manage to make a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings for five people and whack up a good buffet. Gordon was lovely and hospitable and made it was clear he was on hand if needed.We lead very full busy lives, so this was a fabulous way to unwind and spend our christmas break. We really hope to visit again soon. Thankyou Gordon

Cosy Woodburner for chilli evenings. Loved watching the birds at the feeder. Lovely and peaceful area and plenty to visit. Thank-you for a perfect holiday.

The kitchen is well equipped with an oven and hob, microwave, toaster and sandwich maker and Hexham is blessed with a Lidls, Tesco Extra and Waitrose! Beds are comfortable and the area is exceptionally quiet at night. We did use the central heating as the evenings and early mornings were cool and this proved to be very effective at taking the chill off the property. You do need a car but there are lots of places to visit with 30 minutes, Hexham Abbey and Gaol, Hadrian's Wall, Corbridge, Derwent Reservoir and various castles. It is a rural area so Internet was occasionally spotty but that didn't detract from our holiday.
