    What a wonderful house. We all had a smashing time. The showers are lovely and powerful and the kitchen is perfect for congregating. The garden was a hit for our dogs and great it is completely secure. Recommendations – The Horseshoes in Rennington is an old fashioned pub with amazing homemade food, The Pack Horse at Ellingham does an amazing Thai night on a Monday, The Running Fox in Longhouton is brilliant for cakes and scones – What’s not to like? The Market Tavern in Alnwick was another good place for homemade food. And all of these are dog friendly! We had wild weather, got soaked a few times, had some very windy and cold evenings but have stayed nice and toasty in Hassock House. Thank you for letting us stay and for the lovely welcome hamper. We would love to return!

    What a wonderful house! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. We enjoyed trips to Bamburgh, Alnwick Castle and Gardens, and lunch at The Apple Inn at Lucker was delicious. The Horseshoes Inn is worth a visit – a friendly pub and excellent food!

    What a lovely property, so spacious, cosy and beautifully decorated. We have enjoyed watching the sheep and hares in the field opposite, but the best thing has been the four rabbits that seem to spend most of the day in the back garden. Thank you for your hospitality.
