What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is in a great location and clearly has been recently modernised to a fairly high standard.

  However there are a number of small issues which if addressed would make this property five star in all respects: 1. There is no information about any of the facilities to assist people who stay there - heating, lighting, blinds etc. Simple to do but it seems to be an issue which clients have highlighted consistently over the last few months. 2. The log burner in the lounge could not be used as it leaked smoke from the seal between the chamber and the chimney. A health and safety issue but one which Im fairly sure could have been fairly quickly resolved -probably the biggest issue. 3.Related to this it meant the underfloor heating needed to be boosted to supplement the heating - this cannot be done quickly to make the room warm and comfortable also there were no instructions relating to this. 4. The showers - the owner phoned us to advise before we arrived that one of the showers was out of commission. This was not an issue for us as there was an en-suite shower in the other bedroom. However this shower did not operate properly as the overhead part of the shower would not work. Again a fairly simple repair needed. 5. Blinds for the vellux roof windows in this room should be fitted (not an issue for us) but it does make for a very bright room as soon as dawn kicks in. 6.The front door lock is not easy to operate from the point of view of getting out of the house as there is only a small turning 'handle' to hold on to. Whilst I have listed a few things here we loved our stay at the house but found it a bit frustrating when I read the reviews that many of the issues had already been identified but were still outstanding. Just take time to resolve them and take away some of the hassle for all concerned.

  Lovely renovated cottage in a busy little town with lots of facilities.

  The house is extremely well kitted out having more than enough kitchen equipment, two great shower rooms and plenty of space both upstairs and down. It would have been helpful to be told the key safe was at the back of the property and the front door wasn’t in use. Also some information about the house; which bins belonged to the property, when the bins were to be put out, which was the recycling bin and that some of the blinds were operated remotely would have been of assistance. There are two velux windows in the ceiling of the larger bedroom which do not have blinds meaning that the room was very bright at dawn. A bit of a challenge if you are a light sleeper. Ruth the owner was accessible and easy to get in touch with. Overall I would highly recommend a stay at Bramwell House, the points raised are far outweighed by the high standard of the renovation, amenities in the house and village plus the excellent situation, so close to Hadrian’s Wall etc

  A beautiful, exceptionally stylish and well presented property in a great location in the centre of Corbridge.

  However, it was lacking in some basic facilities which lets it down unfortunately. The only hanging space for clothes is in the second bedroom which makes it very awkward if two couples are staying. Even a few hooks in the en-suite bedroom would help. No mirror in the en-suite shower room which is tricky if you need to have a shave. True, there is one in the main bathroom but again, not ideal if juggling with other guests. The biggest issue we had was the lack of iron and ironing board. We had travelled up for a family celebration and discovered we couldn't iron anything on the morning of the event so my husband had to make an hour long round trip to his parents house to iron his clothes. Thank goodness we had that option! Such a shame as these are little things to remedy but have a big impact without them. If these were resolved we'd have no hesitation in going back as it really is a beautiful property aside from these niggles.

  Gorgeous house in a superb location, right in the centre of Corbridge which is a lovely village with plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops, and a great base to explore Northumberland.

  Also there is a railway station and a bus service so you do not need to use the car much. (A parking permit is provided which is very helpful). We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. We visited Newcastle, Hexham and Hadrian’s Wall. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the whole area very peaceful. Some issues we encountered-no instruction manual, no welcome pack (would have expected some tea bags and a pint of milk!) no fire wood, the sky lights in the bedroom did not have blinds, there were no toilet brushes, and the front door needs fixing. Also, the addition of a washing machine would be good (although one is not listed). We just feel that if the owners could address the above it would take this property from Premier League into Champions League and would take very little cost and effort to sort. That all said, we would still highly recommend this property.

  V.pleasant property.

  No outdoor shoes upstairs (need to remember slippers), nicely carpeted upstairs .Lovely kitchen but needed more instruction for range style cooker. Very clean and comfortable throughout although we did feel it was cold in the house and heating did not raise temperature appreciably. Fault with wi fi sorted out fairly quickly but wonder if it would have been sorted out if one of us wasn’t a tech. expert who recognised the problem and helped handyman to resolve it! Speed of response was very quick - thank you ! Courtyard was lovely and a real sun trap. Would recommend to others and possibly stay here again.
