This is our second visit to this delightful fully equipped cottage. It was very clean. We were left an extensive welcome pack. All the bedrooms were clean as was the kitchen/diner and the lounge. Each room has a tv in, including bedrooms. Since our last visit the cottage has been redecorated and had new furniture all of which were superb. The owner lives opposite and is very pleasant and obliging. We will definitely be going back later in the year All of which is 5*s Lynne and Alan Rhodes

Nothing like the photos show online.It was dirty, in bad need of maintenance ,it was very dated and not very welcoming at all!The table mats still had previous guests spilt food on them,The bath was filthy, towels had brown marks on. Couldn’t sleep on main bedroom as it had a funny smell in there.Bedding was dirty.Plates that were not clean had been put back in the cupboard. We had to wipe down and antibac work surfaces.The back doors lock and handle was hanging and needed fixing.Extremely old furniture broken and covered in silver spray paint.Hosts no where to been seen ,even though their house was opposite the cottage!No blinds or curtains at either of the bathroom/toilet windows , which face towards the owners place. Lights were covered in cobwebs.The worst dirtiest place we have been to, def do not recommend this stay , unless you have zero standards in hygiene !

I am sure you have some beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable properties available, unfortunately Blacksmiths cottage is not one of them..

Cottage very well situated for exploring Northumberland coast, the Cheviots and NT properties fairly close by.. Easy access just off A1. Confirm dog friendly. Twin beds in at least one other double bedroom would have been welcome as would a few rugs in the bedrooms. Cottage very warm with ample hot water.

The cottage was beautiful, the only thing we were very disappointed ,there was no Hot Tub like advertised, This was mainly the reason we chose Blacksmith Cottage.. also we had thick snow , the owners lived directly opposite the cottage and they didn’t even come and ask if we were ok.

The things that need attention are the lights in the kitchen, it's not bright enough.. The bath tap constantly dripping. And we only had the green bin outside which meant that recycling wasn't easy. But even with these very minor issues we had a most enjoyable stay at Blacksmiths cottage and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent smooth process in booking.. Owners were very accommodating with a couple of requests we had. No problem to them at all.

Lovely cottage with a really lovely owner.. We enjoyed our stay and the hot tub was an added bonus! it was just a little bit far out for us as we would have liked a wander in the evening but it was very clean, large rooms with a lovely kitchen and a cosy lounge. Highly recommended x
