The house was really lovely and Greg had thought of everything we could need and more. He texted me to let me know the house was ready a little early which was useful and he also popped-over on the day we arrived to check everything was okay.

This is a superb holiday let. It benefits from a great location, central to all the good things Northumberland has to offer. The house itself has been decorated, furnished and kitted out to a very high standard. There has been a lot of thought and consideration given to make it this good.

The property is a real home from home. Greg the owner has really thought about what people want when staying in a cottage, even more so when its cold and wet as it is only January. Heating was on when we arrived, with milk in fridge, some tea and coffee as well as other store cupboard essentials and some posh crisps, local biscuits and fudge. ThRead moree property is very well set up with a full bathroom (shower over bath), downstairs toilet and ensuite shower room to the main bedroom. All of them had a basket of cleaning products. Very comfy beds with lots of storage in the bedrooms. Kitchen had plenty of crockery, utensils, glasses etc..not exactly 4 or 6 of everything which really is annoying in some places Ive stayed. There was a bag with cleaning cloths and tablets for dishwasher & washing machine so could keep on top of that, as there was also a huge tumble drier in the separate utility room. The upstairs bedroom has a lovely balcony which my daughter did step out onto to see the stars, but too wet and blustery to really benefit but am sure would be lovely later in the year. Blankets in the lounge to chill out with in front of the log effect gas fire, while watching TV and there were games and books for all ages, along with visitor information files. Greg knocked on door a while after we had arrived as lives locally, to check we were all ok and said to let him know if there were any issues or needed help etc. There was a minor issue with a sticky shower over bath later, but Greg came round the following morning as it was not urgent, with some WD40 and easily fixed. A really lovely base for my return trip to the area with my eldest daughter. Local co-op about a 3 minute walk so not at all isolated. Parking outside the property on other side of the road, although there is an option of resident parking at end of the row of cottages if preferred. Would happily return to this house which is so much more spacious than the initial front of house photo on the listing. It is a new holiday listing so dont be put off by there being so few reviews as we found it to be just perfect for us 2 but easily enough room for families as there was another bedroom that we didnt even use. Thanks Greg - great stay. Hide
