Sally
It was a great base for us to explore the areas around it. The house was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Very tasteful decorated and beds were very comfortable with lovely bedding and cushions. The tv which was great when we eventually found a channel we wanted to watch. Every night the main BBC ITV CHANNEL 4 were found on different numbers. It took us about 15 mins to locate them

Very clean and tidy, with everything we needed being provided, and the beds and sofa were both wonderfully comfortable. Perhaps the only minor gripe was a couple of minor maintenance issues (a loose plug socket and a blown light bulb on the stairs) but nothing which spoiled our stay.

House was very comfortable and clean. Good base from which to explore Northumberland. Information pack of local services and restuarants would have been useful. Would recommend to friends and family.
