The cottage has all the basic amenities and features that we would require, plus plenty of extras. An example being a smart TV with Netflix and other features available. The cottageâs owner was very friendly and helpful, and we were left a welcome package of food which included a generous fruit bowl. Eddie also popped round with some homegrown tomatoes which were delicious. Whilst not located in one of the honeypot villages of the area, the cottage is located in a village that is well placed for most of the many local attractions, including walking on Hadrianâs Wall. There is a pub close by which serves food, and a wonderful local community shop and cafe, the Hallbankgate hub. We would definitely return.
