I had a wonderful few days at this cottage.
I had a wonderful few days at this cottage. I needed an escape from London and a base to go hiking. This was perfect and I found so many beautiful walks. The local pub, Star Inn, was so friendly and I did all the shopping I needed at the local Spar just up the road. The cottage itself is beautifully kept and had so many little touches to make it feel special. Thank you so much Angi and Martin, you have created a wonderful holiday cottage.

Excellent well equipped cottage, cosy, warm and very clean.
Excellent well equipped cottage, cosy, warm and very clean. Great location for walking & exploring surrounding areas. The Starr Inn pub just down the road does lovely food. Rothbury not far away, with independants & pubs. Cragside is a must visit, for the gardens & walks there alone. We had a wonderful New Year here and would recommend the cottage. Very simple entry & felt right at home. Thanks
