Ideal location from exploring the area. The static overlooks the golf course and it was nice to see the Deer wandering in the wood's. Useful veranda for our dog to sit out and be safe. Plenty of films/books if needed on a rainy day although we had lovely weather. A trip to the Holy island was very interesting. Plenty of shops 20 mins away.

Wonderfully accommodating owners. Could not have been more helpful. The location is wonderful, saw deer on the first day we arrived just before dusk, easy access to the motorway too. Overall a lovely place to stay that is quiet and idyllic with easy access to many other places in Northumberland. Thanks again.
