We stayed for the last 2 weeks of August and could not fault anything, many extra supplies for us to use throughout the 2 weeks. There was also dog treats, blanket, poo bags....our dog Hannah loved them all. Terry the owner was in touch to make sure everything was ok, checked if we wanted the lawns cutting and towels changed. Many lovely places to visit, Northumberland is beautiful. We would definitely recommend staying at Gushat House, such a beautiful house. Thank you Terry for making our holiday so special. Joanne
