It was a delight to stay in a cottage that was so clean and comfortable, many thanks to the owners ..

Upon arrival we found a lovely bottle if wine and chocolates, which were enjoyed whilst playing board games.. The cottage is superb, spotlessly clean. the garden is private and secure and our Yorkie loved it. the location is ideal, lovely days out at the coast

Mr Pickering, August 2020

October 2019

A perfect spot for a relaxing holiday in beautiful countryside.. The east coast is in sight from the cottage, so it is only a car ride from lovely beaches, and time should be spent in the neighbouring villages whose history is fascinating. A heavy horse sanctuary and a wild cattle reserve should interest animal lovers and, even nearer to the cottage, wildlife abounds in the farmland which encircles the house. The owner is on hand but unobtrusive, and the home she has created for her visitors lacks nothing. It is beautifully furnished, very tastefully decorated and it is warm and cosy (for late-summer visitors like us). This whole experience has left us with happy memories, which will certainly last .... until our next visit!

Just superb, the cottage was truly home from home, no notices scattered about the place with endless do's and don't's.. Originally our holiday was for one week, but we extended it to two weeks.....and prior to going this time, we had already booked the same cottage for two weeks in September, 2019, to celebrate our Golden Wedding, we know we will will not be disappointed.

This was our first visit to Northumberland, and we much enjoyed the countryside, the coastal walks and the friendliness of everyone we met.. The owner of the property, Mrs Reavley, was especially helpful. In short, a super time, in spite of challenging weather.

We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity and experiencing some wildlife close to the cottage. Our hostess was very thoughtful and helpful.

Mrs Mallinson

November 2015

The remoteness of the cottage was ideal for what we wanted - ideal for getting away from it all and walking our dog. The kitchen was great - very impressed with how well-equipped it was. Loved the under-floor heating in the bathroom and how warm and cosy the cottage was.

Mrs Saunders

June 2015

We were delighted with the cottage which was very comfortable and had everything needed.

Lovely well maintained cottage and garden surrounded by peaceful farmland. There were nesting swallows and the bird feeders in the garden were kept filled which attracted many birds.

Guest

September 2010

Our time at Barmoor Ridge was filled with wonderful walks, beautiful scenery, lovely accommodation and helpfulness from the owners of the cottage. The cottage is ideally situated for: visits to the coast - picking our way over some of the best shores we have ever walked; treking over the Cheviot Hills with a wonderful backdrop of fields and woodlands; visiting the border towns of Scotalnd which offer so much charm; or for just lazing around, reading or having a nap in such lovely quiet surrounds, interrupted only by the odd tractor, bird song or the bleat of a lamb. The couple who own the property are very warm and friendly people. A welcome pack was there on arrival and had all the right things.

Mr Betteridge

August 2010

The entire holiday was lovely. The location of the property is ideal for hill walking (The Cheviots are only a few miles away) for strolling along the beach; miles of sands set in wonderful bays within easy reach, and so many places of interest. The cottage is just right and so peaceful. The hosts are exceptionally nice people.
