The property was exactly what we needed; clean, cosy, and comfortable, and it was clear that a lot of care had gone into keeping everything in great condition. We really enjoyed our stay and had absolutely no complaints. Shops nearby as well, with beautiful back garden to the rear like in the photo.

Cottage - Sleeps 2 - Garden - Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location. Ideal for what we needed but also really rural-feeling and peaceful. We found it quiet and charming. We enjoyed wandering in amongst the old orchard and down through the copse, across the scrubland that forms part of the floodplain of the Tyne. It was good to know there are badgers around although we weren’t lucky enough to see anyway. The dawn chorus was impressive. Very pleasant indeed. Definitely will book again if we’re back in the area. "
