Charming cottage. Welcome pack did what it said on the tin. You could make a great meal of eggs bacon beans on toast when you got in. Remember remoteness of shops when you go. Great walking from the door.

One of several terraced cottages attached to a chapel. Hillside setting with river below and forrest above. Location is perfect to explore Northumberland / Cumbria / Scotland. Well maintained & dog friendly, there are lots of walks around with a few minutes drive to the village should you need a pub. The cottage has all you should need (including TRead moreV / internet) and packed with games if rain stops play. Amanda's Welcome pack is something else; more than generous, as were the dog treats.

We loved this homely little cottage set in idyllic countryside and surrounded by nature. Our host was welcoming and always available for any queries. We discovered a leaking sink on our very late arrival. We informed our host early the following morning. The response was outstanding, within hours it was repaired, carpet replaced and all made good.

Very pretty cottage,, in an idyllic situation, perfect for anyone wishing to have a break in the country and with few neighbours. The owners are very attentive and the welcome pack they left was fantastic and most appreciated. We had a most enjoyable week catching up with family and friends and exploring the countryside.

The cottage is very homely, spotlessly clean and well equipped. It is situated in a lovely spot with good walks straight from the door. Would be a great place to stay in warmer weather!
