  Really lovely place to stay, extremely clean comfortable and finishing touches are beautiful throughout.

  Pictures actually do not do it justice to be honest it’s a lot bigger than it looks and the kitchen is more beautiful in real life. Plenty of everything for use glasses, cutlery, plates etc. Wee garden is a lovely touch if the weather is nice just to sit and have a drink really peaceful and quiet. The cottage is situated on the main road and parking is free either on or across the road which is fantastic. However it is a main road and can be busy with traffic and cars pulling up to park and use the shop/takeaways but it is nice to a see a busy town. As the cottage window is lower people cannot directly see in the window and with the windows closed you do not hear them it did not bother us however I can see how it could if you are fussy. The cottage is really handy for everything if you’ve had a long day you are 1 minute to any of the food places and the shop is next door. Would recommend :)

  I especially enjoyed going out on the rowing boat and fishing. I would definitely like to come to Roughley again. Zoe aged 9 wrote: My highlight of the Roughley was probably the frogs. I enjoyed picking them up… I liked exploring the field. The sheep are so cute to look at out the window. I have been coming here since I was a tiny baby. I love roughly cottage. PS Felting is fun making it out of sheep’s wool. Jem aged 14 wrote: I liked the two creeks here. I enjoyed canoeing… Their parents wrote: Lovely relaxing roughly! Our sixth visit in 11 years and this place has retained its charm. Long lie-ins, dog walks, including up to the stone circle, canoeing, fishing (several caught and released) games in the evening, reading, bliss… Thank you for preserving this little sanctuary. Thank you also to Pete and Liz for letting the kits feed the lambs – very special.

  We had a wonderful stay here at The Antlers.

  I came for the week for some much needed R and R, and because it's not too far from home, invited family to come and go as they pleased to join me on walks or for a delicious curry next door! The house was clean and cosy, and perfectly situated in the town for everything we needed. LOVED having the co-op next door! A great location for walks in North Northumberland or exploring the lovely Border towns. Thank you for the delicious basket of goodies and for providing everything we needed for a perfect stay. I'd love to come back and would recommend to friends. Only improvement might be to provide wi-fi. I wasn't bothered as the 4g was excellent, but it would be useful for anyone needing to do any computer work.

  Amazing wedding

  We cannot thank you enough for the amazing wedding that you gave us. We have been overwhelmed with the amount of praise from our guests as they say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The help with the organization of the wedding the run up to it was exceptional. The food was outstanding... the staff very friendly, helpful and professional the whole weekend and it was lovely having David around and helping out. The castle is kept to an exceptional standard, very clean and a delight to stay in. We were hoping that it was going to be the best day of our lives and it exceeded all our expectations. Thank you so very much. The castle and the owners will always be incredibly special to us.

  Back again (8th or 9th time) for some relaxation and family time.

  Lovely to see nothing ever changes – just a tweak here and there. Jet our collie loves his walks and mastered getting in the canoes with the kids. Zoe wrote: Out of the great things you can do here I have decided to crochet trousers and shoes and a top for my best toy. I also went in the river at the bottom of the twinning field. It was very fun, and I loved it. We had a few wonderful sunny days after 1 week of being wild and crazy. It was so fun and the weather didn’t bother me because I like the cold.
