Bedding and towels provided which is a plus. Ideally situated for exploring Northumberland and all it has to offer. Only small grip is that the bathroom could do with a couple of hooks for hanging things on. Would recommend and shall be returning.

It looks quite new, and was clean and tidy. Towels and bed linen were of good quality. Bed comfortable. Simply furnished but no hanging space apart from over-door hooks. Settees were comfortable but dining table and benches were a bit flimsy. Nice to have the private outdoor space. For the property owners only (not to be published): 2 things to report - the code for the door key box was 4000, not 400 as stated on the information sheet. The oven is not fixed into its cabinet, and if you pull hard to open the oven door, the whole oven comes out of the cabinet. And the kitchen clock needs a new battery!
