The one year old child stayed in the double bed with his mother leaving the other two adults on the single beds. The beds were so small they were only fit for children making our nights sleep uncomfortable. We arrived just after the stated 4pm and found the hot tub still being filled up. We couldn't use it until almost 6.30pm which was a little disappointing. The hot tub was well checked throughout our stay. I'd recommend this cottage for two adults and two children. The site pub and play area is good and welcoming. It is well placed to visit the many great locations Northumberland has to offer.
