This was possibly the best cottage we ever stayed at after many years of this kind of holiday. The cottage and the location were perfect. The welcome pack was amazing. The night sky was wonderful on a clear night and visits to Crag House and Berwick were highlights. We hope to make a return visit soon.

The cottage was ideally located, approx 1.5 mile or a 25 minute walk from the centre of Rothbury overlooking the golf course and with stunning views down to the river and across the valley. The accommodation had everything we needed including SKY for the cricket and football. We did have one minor problem but that was resolved quickly by the ownersRead more. I would certainly recommend the cottage for families or for a group of friends. Hide
