We thought this was excellent accommodation - spacious, comfortable and wonderfully situated in Rothbury - a very pretty riverside location, yet just a wee walk (5 mins) into the heart of the village. Its kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped, which was great for self-catering. And Rothbury is delightful and friendly, with excellent pubs, bakeries, shops and restaurants. Also it’s well situated for stunning countryside and fab places to visit. We’d return!
