We had a really lovely stay in the Gardeners cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and we loved the wee private garden. Very peaceful area, a great place to chill out and unwind with lots of lovely walks right on the doorstep. And yet not too far from the bright lights of Newcastle. Would definitely go back there. ##### Linda Austin ---
